10 Famous Film Heroes Who Totally Failed In Their Quest

9. Dr. Sam Loomis (Halloween 1-2, 4-6)

Donald HalloweenTHE QUEST To warn the world of the danger that is Michael Myers. WHAT HAPPENS People die. Lots of people. No one believes Loomis and two thirds of the teenage population of Haddonfield end up dead. What starts off as a brilliant, tense piece of horror descends into hilarity. (And not in the good way!) WHY DOES HE FAIL Loomis comes off as a raving lunatic. Michael Myers spends five films leading a bloody slaughter, before Loomis himself finally succumbs to the killer's knife. Never has one man failed so miserably in his quest.
