These are the eyes of a Psychopath

After deciding to ditch Michael in the institution, Doc Loomis heads on the lecture circuit to milk his association with the child killer years after Haddonfield was left in notoriety; there were plenty of stories of a boogeyman to scare kids around a campfire or in the dark bedroom, under the sheets, with a flashlight. A book on the killer only placed a brighter spotlight on Haddonfield, while Loomis' history with Michael offered lots of opportunities financially to support himself. The remainder of this film and the second Rob Zombie film love to ridicule and mock Loomis for his seemingly shameless exploitation of the Michael Myer story. While Carpenter's Loomis seemed authentically concerned about Michael's release onto a world ill-prepared for him (or as Loomis would describe as "it"), and not desiring any sort of raised awareness of the killer from the locals (primarily, although Part 4 would prove otherwise as Loomis grew desperate to find or kill Michael), just law enforcement, Zombie's Loomis sees Mikey as a goldmine. Only towards the very end of Halloween II does Zombie's Loomis feel a little responsible for all that has happened upon Michael's further damage to Haddonfield after a mistaken release onto the town.

The image of Loomis with the huge background of child Myers and that cold stare was quite marketable and just the still of it placed emphasis on Zombie's determined glimpse into Michael's childhood past. The roots of Michael's pathology where the family environs were toxic and odious due to dysfunction are on display, and this dangerous child's eyes and face are blown up to the kind of overwhelming size that would provoke a response from any audience. This gives a face to Loomis' dark, penetrating voice as he explains to the audience just what his patient was.
