In 10 Cloverfield Lane, Emmett DeWitt (played by John Gallagher, Jr.) was hired prior to the events of the film by Howard to help him build an underground bunker on his property.  When Emmett witnesses a dangerous otherworldly event, he goes immediately to the one place he will be safe and Howard reluctantly allows him to remain in the bunker after Emmett forces his way in, resulting in his broken arm.  However, when Emmett and Michelle become closer and begin to question Howard’s motives and mindset, things take a dark turn for everyone in the bunker.  Emmett wears relaxed jeans, a grey tank top, and plaid overshirt throughout most of the movie.

In 10 Cloverfield Lane, Howard Stambler (played by John Goodman) is a paranoid ex-Navy officer who is living with Michelle and Emmett in an underground bunker.  He is estranged from his ex-wife Denise and beloved daughter Megan, whom he still attempts to contact against Denise’s wishes.  During the events of the film, Howard’s motivations for bringing Michelle down to the bunker come into question.  Howard is extremely paranoid and could be described as a stereotypical doomsday prepper in many ways.  His clothing is utilitarian, typically consisting of a white t-shirt and a flannel worn over top and left unbuttoned.
