Chapter 1 of Halloween: The Game, titled The Road to Haddonfield, hides two Loomis Log tapes. They are part of a 14-recording set spread across the prologue and five chapters, and neither is required to finish the story. One of the two sits in an area that closes behind you, so the order you do things in matters more than the search itself.
Quick answer: Take Loomis Log #6 from the vanity in the dressing room off the restroom hallway inside the Rabbit in Red before you leave to chase the final biker, then grab Loomis Log #8 from the desk in the gas station office across from the auto shop while the mechanic objective is active.

Both tapes use the same interaction. Walk up to the small marker on the surface, hold the pickup prompt, and a banner confirms the log number. The difference is how long each one stays reachable.
| Tape | Exact spot | When you can take it |
|---|---|---|
| Loomis Log #6 | Vanity countertop in the dressing room at the back of the Rabbit in Red Lounge | After the bar cutscene, while the objective reads “CHASE THE FINAL BIKER” — the bar locks off once you step outside |
| Loomis Log #8 | Desk in the back office of the gas station shop, across from the auto shop | During “TRACK DOWN AND KILL THE MECHANIC,” while the optional explore objective is available |

Note: It is worth opening every door in the bar before you leave. The interior seals once the chase begins, and anything you skipped there requires a chapter replay.

Confirming the pickup and replaying tapes in the Graveyard menu
The pickup banner is the immediate confirmation. For a longer check, finish the chapter, return to the main menu, and open the Graveyard section. Scroll to the tape entries on the left to see which logs you hold and to play the recordings back. If a log number is missing from that list, it was not collected and the chapter needs another run.
Why a Chapter 1 log can be missed
- Running out of the bar as soon as the chase objective appears. The dressing room closes with the rest of the interior, taking Log #6 with it.
- Going straight to the mechanic’s marker. Log #8 is only reachable while the optional exploration is open, so a fast kill ends the chapter early.
- Confusing the auto shop with the gas station. The office holding the tape belongs to the gas station shop on the opposite side.
- Walking past the vanity without looking down. The tape marker is small and sits flat on the countertop.
Chapters can be replayed, so a missed tape is recoverable rather than permanently lost. If you are already going back for the bar-only challenges, such as the broken pool cue kill or the cleaver throw from the kitchen, that same run is the cleanest chance to sweep up Log #6 on the way through.
