For those hording toilet paper

Michael is now grown up in the menacing form of Tyler Mane in Rob Zombie's Halloween

The film moved to the next chapter, with Michael now all grown up in the hulking brute body of Tyler Mane (in my opinion, a superb hire by Zombie; the guy looks scary and that is important when casting for a character that needs to be). Mane's eyes--like in the visual above as McDowell's pitiful Loomis, admitting surrender by waving the white flag, telling Michael that their "treatment" has lasted longer than his first marriage, and was, in a way, the best friendship he ever had (acknowledging how fucked up that is)--are seemingly soulless, black as pitch, and stone cold. Loomis tells him he must move on as Michael will remain in the institution. Michael stares and barely moves. He's like this pillar of stone that possibly contains an inner rage patiently awaiting release inside Michael until the opportunity arises.

Lewis Temple is introduced as an antagonistic prick hired as a security guard in the asylum to replace the soon-retiring (Uh-oh, you know that's a no-no in action and horror movies; characters that say they are about to retire all most certainly fall to peril right before being able to do so) Danny Trejo. Trejo is established as the lone ally of Michael. A voice of comfort and peace to a young boy needing it, Trejo offers a fatherly paternal affection to Michael. Temple mocks him and soon pokes fun at Michael. Michael's masks (cool image of his cell covered with masks of all types and forms) are just an object for Temple to use as ridicule. Temple is a racist, vile pig with a nasty comment for anyone and everyone. You have to know the moment he appears and begins to spew the garbage that forms his sick personality that Michael will kill his ass real good. What is ultimately tragic is what eventually happens to Trejo...this confirms to us that Michael doesn't capitulate to any humanity that might thwart attacking a friend.
