I love Halloween III. People just hate it, because Michael Myers is not in it...SO WHAT!!! A little temporary change never hurts anyone. I love the storyline with the warlock named Cochran making Halloween masks out of Stonehenge. I love the "Happy happy Halloween" song and Cochran's speech to Dan about the Celts and how Halloween was 3,000 years ago. I really appreciate this "sequel" yes, I called it a sequel, because it's called Halloween 3. Another part I love is what happens to Little Buddy Kupfer when he watches the commercial and his head turns into snakes and bugs. The last part I love is the ending, it keeps you in suspense. In conclusion, this classic film earns the right to be called "Halloween III"
Although Michael, Dr. Loomis, and Laurie Strode have been taken out, this is good Halloween material. It starts off with a man trying to run away from some men in business suit. In his hand, he's grasping on to a Silver Shamrock Halloween Pumpkin mask. Later, he passes out and taken to the hospital. Later in the night, he is murdered by one of the business man. Dr. Daniel Challis wants to investigate why he was murdered. Dan has a bad relationship with his ex-wife and hardly spends any time with his kids. Dan and the murdered man's daughter; Ellie Grimbridge make a plan and go to Santa Mira where the Silver Shamrock company is. (For some reason, I love the scene at the bar when Dan is drinking beer and that silly cartoon is on, then the original Halloween plays.) Conal Cochran is the boss, and Dan finds out that Conal is a warlock who plans to use the popular masks as a way to kill all the children on Halloween. Dan must stop it from happening. This really is a classic in its own way. I highly recommend Halloween III: Season of the Witch!!!
this movie sucks big time, it shouldnt be called halloween three if there isnt a damn thing to do with the other two halloweens and no where except for on a tv in one scene is micheal myers to be found, name it something else like halloween night season of the witch not halloween three!!!! the story was ok but the effects and the acting were shit, i remember when i saw this in the fourth grade and was put to sleep by it.
I know Michael Myers isnt in it and i got mad when i was watching it and Michael didnt appeared but the movie was a big pile of crap anyway FIRST it wasnt scary SECOND it was stupid THIRD that little shitty ass song really got my nervs FORTH the ending is stupid so why bother watching it everything in it was stupid including the movie itself so i would of gave it a zero but since i cant well.
People think it sucks. But the original idea of this movie was to have Myers be dead and done with. Its really a decent movie. Just because Myers isn't in it doesn't make it a horrible movie. I enjoyed it. Its original. Its a hell of a lot better than the crap that is being produced nowadays.
I could accept this if it was a good film without Myers. But common people getting killed by witch masks, skeleton masks, and jack-o-lantern masks, when a stupid Silver shamrock commercial airs. That has the absolute gayest music ever. And of course one of the most stupidest scenes ever: WHY THE F*CK show the original Halloween trailer in a sequel. What were they thinking. WHO cares if it has an entirely different story it's still a sequel. What are they trying to do make it like the original never existed.
This movie is awesome just dont expect to see Michael Myers. It is an awesome early 80's John Carpenter horror. My favorite out of the Halloween sequels.
I remember renting this film as a wee lad in the 80's. Me and my buds were stoked to see a new 'Michael Myers' film. It wasn't until about the 45-minute mark that my fears were being realized. NO MICHAEL MYERS. I truly believe it was the first time I ever felt jipped by a film. My anger and disappointment boiled over and I condemned the film at an early age... vowing never to re-visit the bullshit that was 'Halloween III: Season of the Witch'.
Now... fast-forward 20 years. Three words, folks: TOM MOTHERFUCKIN' ATKINS. Ok, ok... 'Halloween III' is still a magnanimous pile of shit, but it's too much fun to be ignored or cast out of the DVD library. Hack-director Tommy Lee Wallace (try and name a good film from this dude) gets my love because he was involved with the original 'Halloween' and is one of the three peeps responsible for the 'Coupe De Villes' (with bandmates John Carpenter and Nick Castle) who gave us the AWFUL-good ditty: Big Trouble in Little China (and a video too!). Wallace appears to not know a camera lens from his anus as evident in the gloriously stale cinematography in 'Halloween III'. But, this film is so bad it suddenly becomes wonderful. Beer helps while watching, though our sober horrorhound brethren can take enjoyment from this as well.
The movie rocks because the filmmakers cast what appears to me a loser as their lead. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Tom Atkins is a loser at all, in fact he enters the realm of Bruce Campbell-dom in my eyes. Hell, I wear a t-shirt once a week with him on it! It's just--Atkins is rough around the edges, devoid of any physical prowess, and boozes it up every chance he gets in this film. Not only that, but he's a cigarette-smoking doctor divorcee who enjoys suckling on his co-star's titties whenever the opportunity (ies) presents themselves. And God love him for it. If ever there was an evil corporation hell-bent on eradicating the human race by Halloween masks that eat your face, I would want Tom Atkins, cold beer in hand, ready to take on the forces of darkness.
'Halloween III' shouldn't have the 'Halloween' monicker attached to it- that's what ruined it for me as a kid. Expectations for 'The Shape' are shattered and you're left with a beer-gutted anti-hero who's fighting the old guy from Robocop while an annoying commercial for kid's masks plays over and over and over and over again. I understand the frustration, but if you take a moment to appreciate the crappiness of this film, I believe you will come to love it, and it will become a staple viewing for every time you have a group of people drinking in your livingroom. Thank you, Tom Atkins, thank you.
Everyone slams this movie because Michael Myers isn't in it, but it was still a descent movie. They should've just called it Season Of The Witch and left the Halloween part out of it. But the movie has a great Halloween time feel to it. And the story is pretty good, just a little slow. It's worth a watch!
