Chapter 4 of Halloween: The Game, The Babysitters, hides three Loomis Logs instead of the usual two. Two of them are tied to timing, so a single wrong move can shut you out of the area and force a full replay of a dangerous chapter. Knowing the route ahead of time lets you collect all three in one run.
Quick answer: Collect the tape inside the house across from the Wallace home (number 1542), grab the laundry room tape behind the Wallace garage before Annie or her dog can trap you, and pick up the final tape on Laurie’s dining table once you begin chasing her at the end of the chapter.
Chapter 4 Loomis Log locations overview
| Log | Location | Best time to grab |
|---|---|---|
| Loomis Log #1 | House across from the Wallace home (number 1542), on a side table in the left room | Anytime the area is open |
| Loomis Log #2 | On top of the dryer in the detached Wallace laundry room | Level start, or after Annie is dead and staged upstairs |
| Loomis Log #3 | On the dining table inside Laurie’s house | During the final chase, after Laurie runs home |
Only the first tape works like a standard exploration pickup. The other two depend on where the story’s targets are, so read the timing notes below before you commit to a path.
Loomis Log #1: Across from the Wallace house
The chapter’s cutscenes center on the Wallace house, but the first tape sits in an optional home directly across the street. You can spot the right house by two pumpkins flanking the porch steps and the number 1542 near the door.
Go in through the front door and turn into the room on the left. A macramé wall hanging sits above a side table, and the recording is resting on top of that table. There is no timer on this one, so you can pick it up whenever you have a moment away from the main objective.
Loomis Log #2: Wallace laundry room (the missable one)
This is the tape most likely to slip away. The Wallace house has a detached laundry room behind the garage in the backyard, and the recording sits on top of the dryer. The problem is Annie, your target, who will walk into that room a few minutes after the first Wallace cutscene plays. A dog also patrols the property after that scene, so exposure adds up fast.
There are three safe windows to reach it:
Window 1: Head to the laundry room the instant the level begins, right after the first cutscene at the Wallace house. Annie has not arrived yet, giving you the cleanest shot at the dryer. If you plan to complete Challenge 1 anyway, you will be waiting in this area regardless.
Window 2: After the second cutscene with Annie, she moves toward the car, then to the front door, and heads inside. While she is indoors, approach from the left side of the house as you face it and slip into the laundry room.
Window 3: The safest option is after you kill Annie. You will be tasked with hiding her body upstairs, and you can use that stretch to walk out to the laundry room with no risk of detection, no chance of losing a victim, and no gate locking you out.
Note: If the dog spots you, it can alert Annie and cause her to flee, which is why many players clear the dog first before lingering near the backyard.
Loomis Log #3: On Laurie’s dining table
The final tape only becomes reachable at the very end of the chapter. Laurie’s house is blocked off for most of The Babysitters, and you cannot get inside until the chase begins. When the objective shifts to stopping Laurie and she runs from the Wallace house to her own home, let her go and follow her in.
Enter through the front door and look to the right side of the lower level. A dining table sits there with the last Loomis Log on top. Grab it, then continue the chase to close out the chapter and move the story forward.
Confirming you collected all three
Each Loomis Log is a tape recording that adds to Michael Myers’ backstory, and every one you gather can be played back from the Graveyard Menu. If a tape is listed and playable there after the chapter, it registered correctly. If Loomis Log #2 is still missing, you almost certainly waited too long and Annie either entered the laundry room or the sequence sealed the backyard, so a replay of Chapter 4 is the only way to recover it.
