QHow could Michael and Dr Loomis survive the fire at the end of 'Halloween 2'?
AWhen the screenplay for Halloween 2 was written, they weren't meant to survive. The Michael Myers saga was meant to end with the deaths of Loomis and Michael in that movie, but popularity at the box office brought back the story for another round with Halloween 4 and Halloween 5. In order to bridge the gap, the Ridgemont Federal Sanitarium security guard at the beginning of Halloween 4 tells the ambulance crew, when they come to pick up Michael and transport him to Smith Grove, how Michael and Loomis 'nearly burned to death' after their last encounter 10 years earlier. It's already been established in the first two movies that Michael has a supernatural ability to survive, as when Loomis shot him six times at the end of Halloween, yet he survived. As for Loomis, viewers have suggested that he survived the fire either by being knocked to the other side of the room by the initial explosion or by being on the floor below the flaming gas. He is visibly scarred and limping in this movie, supposedly due to the trauma he suffered in Halloween 2.
