Biography[]
Ismael Cruz was a floor warden and senior prison guard at the Smith's Grove Sanitarium in Warren County. He befriended six-year-old Michael Myers and tried to cheer him up whenever possible. Apparently having served time, he advised Michael to not let the "walls" bring him down. Ismael continued to work Michael's cell block for nearly twenty years.
Three months before his retirement, Ismael trained a junior guard, Noel Kluggs, and introduced him to Michael. That same day, Myers broke out and killed several of the hospital staff members. Ismael came upon the scene of Michael's bloodbath and tried to usher him back to his room. Michael killed Ismael, first by partially drowning him in a sink full of water, then by crushing his head with a television set.
Notes & Trivia[]
- The character of Ismael Cruz was created by writer/director Rob Zombie.
- Ismael Cruz is a character who is unique to the continuity of the Halloween remake series and does not have a counterpart in the original series.
- It is illogical that a man with an apparent prison record would gain employment as a guard at a hospital for the criminally insane. Perhaps Ismael was lying about his past in order to form a bond with Michael.
