A bouncer is someone who works at a bar or club and is charged with monitoring the actions of the customers and maintaining an area of safety for both guests and employees. A bouncer is responsible calming rowdy patrons, and if need be, escorting them from the premises. This is often accompanied with some measure of forcefulness if the offending patron happens to act violently. A bouncer may also serve as a doorman, checking identification to make sure that no one under age is making their way into the establishment.
In film[]
- Halloween II (2009): Howard Boggs was a bouncer at the Rabbit in Red Lounge. Driven by machismo and a bad attitude, Howard did not get along with his boss "Big" Lou Martini. One evening, Howard made some disparaging remarks to Big Lou and one of his strippers, Misty Dawn. They dismissed his remarks, telling him to go take out the trash. Frazzled, Howard remarked under his breath "Enjoy the Herpes" and went outside. After disposing of the refuse, he ran into serial murderer Michael Myers. Howard called him a hippie and warned him to quit rooting through the garbage, but Myers refused to leave. Howard warned him a second time to leave and in return, Michael picked him up and slammed him hard upon the ground. He then stomped Howard's face in with his heavy boot, killing him. Michael brought the corpse into the lounge and hung Howard's body from a string of holiday lights.
