What would have happened to Michael Myers?

If he hadn't escaped Halloween eve 1978? When Dr Loomis and Marion Chambers were on their way to pick up Michael for his court date to face the judge. Do you think the court would have released him since he was considered the "ideal patient" and never caused problems for 15 years? Would they have kept him at Smith's Grove? Or transfer him to a maximum security hospital.

I've always been curious about that. What are your thoughts?

It would've have depend on Loomis diagnostic evaluation to convince the court not to release Myers back into society...

I always thought Smith Groves was already a Maximum security hospital...

We don't even know what was Myers sentence back in 1963 - Considering he was only six years old,probably the judge gave him a sentence until he reached the legal age...

Makes perfect sense. Very solid input. Regarding maximum security, I remember Loomis mentioned Ridgemont was maximum and Smith's Grove was minimum in the deleted scene at hospital.

He would've been released and he'd be a bagger at that Shop n Bag out by the mall.

Luckily their minds were changed after all that's happened.

We know that Michael Myers is under the influence of a curse, and the closest that one could get to his symptoms professionally lie in psychopathy and schizoid personality disorder. Assuming that Dr. Loomis would present the case the same way that I would, Myers would be sent to the maximum security center. That would only be a legal cover on the psychiatrist's part, though, since he admits in private that he has never been able to get to the bottom of what is wrong with Myers. That may be a subtle hint that Dr. Loomis has grown suspicious of a supernatural element regarding his patient, even if it defies his training.

Yes, it is mentioned in part six. In fact the matter appears in the title: Halloween 6: The Curse Of Michael Myers. You are correct about our not knowing the issue from this movie, but I am looking at it from a collective point of view with the whole series.

Well in many people's views, most I'd say, including mine, Anything after II doesn't exist. Some say, even after the original.

The whole point was they were taking him to be tried as an adult for his sister's murder. Loomis would've testified like the way he talked to Brackett about when he met him 15 years before, etc. and pleaded with the court that he should be locked up forever, even though he seems to be catatonic. Hopefully, the judge was smart enough to believe Loomis and put him in the maximum security ward until he died.
