His reaction to these horrible things is so damn realistic and it really helps to sell the fact that something bizarre and sick was going on.

I've only seen Tom Atkins in Halloween 3, Creepshow, The Fog, and Escape from New York, but I did think he was great in all of those. My only issue is how they force him to sleep with women for the sake of it. He doesn't even know the age of the granddaughter in H3 and then he knows nothing about Curtis' character in The Fog, even asking her her name while they are in bed.

Of course, I also like to make this fanfic connection between The Fog, Halloween, and Halloween III.

Basically, Dr Challis is so distraught over the death of his kids thanks to Silver Shamrock that he moves to Antonio Bay and changes his name. The hitchiker he picks up years after living there is actually an on the run Laurie Strode, trying to get away from Michael's presence and not knowing what she wants to do.
