That Carpenter soundtrack is worth the price of admission in itself.
Agreed, possibly the absolute best horror score of all time.
Halloween III is a wonderful, underrated movie with a fantastic soundtrack.
also when atkins is making the call the same street where the shape bangs into warlocks son with the boom box and then walks up the street more
great point I loved it when I saw it in 82 two times in the theater where were all these horror fans summer of 1982 for the thing all these movies wind up getting appreciated years later like big trouble in little china well if the number is the case he could have called halloween season and halloween 4 should have just been called halloween the return of mm
@@JustAPersonWatchingYT lol
When i watched this film back in 1982, my theory was perhaps the message being sent with Halloween 3 was that maybe Michael Myers was actually a serial killer "ROBOT" & that's why he was hard to kill in the first 2 films. This film was the explanation.
I think if the 2nd Halloween hadn't been a Myers movie, then people would have been more willing to give SotW a chance. It's too bad too; I love the anthology idea and I really wish it had continued.
Carpenter didn't want to make a second Myers film. The studio saw the first film made a lot of money and ordered a part two hoping would be another hit, which it wasn't. Halloween II was made under protest.
osriccauldwyn Let's hope it can be brought back by Mr. Carpenter.
@@nightmaretomb5294, Halloween 2 1981 was also great maybe not as great as Halloween 1978 but still it was a great movie.
Yes indeed! Had they not made people get too used to Michael Myers by making a Part 2 about him. Had they went with the anthology idea right away people probably would received and respected the anthology idea. To say the least even if they just had named it Halloween: Season of the Witch instead of Halloween 3: Season of the Witch people probably would've understood the Halloween Anthology series amd would've received it well, but all because of Halloween 2 is the reason why people did not receive Halloween 3 Season of the Witch well and gave it poor ratings. Also what made people not receive this movie well is also them looking at the other 2 Iconic horror villains Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees, they also started asking why Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees can have many sequels and not Michael Myers, which was also another reason why they had no choice but to bring the Michael Myers character back into the Halloween Franchise and still in today's day Michael Myers is a big hit under the Halloween name just like Freddy is in the Nightmare on Elm Street Franchise and Jason is in the Friday the 13th Franchise.
@@AmerIndianWarrior, There is a Fan Film here of the sequel to Halloween 3 Season of the Witch called The Return of the Witch, I don't know if you have seen it, but all I can say it was a terrible sequel, I felt the sequel could've been done better, if you see it you would agree as well. If anything yes if only Carpenter only had the idea right now to make an official sequel to the Halloween 3 Season of the With movie that would be great, I always wonder what happens after Daniel Challis (Tom Atkins) yells "Stop It!!!!"
I actually really enjoyed Season of the Witch
I love it so much!
Me to..in hindsight maybe actually breaking character for one movie did something for future sequels...plus my and a few friends found slot of laughs in some of this lol..still watch it to this day
Billy Cobb its my second favorite, plus i think its the scariest because is the most realistic in my opinion
Billy Cobb definitely a good bad movie.
The most realistic would be the first one
Laserbeams, killer androids, Stonehenge, and an Irish Warlock!! Great film, way ahead of its time.
This is easily the 2nd best in the series, behind only the original. And considering they are completely different, it really is just as good at the first. It has probably the best horror score of all time, and how can you not love Dr Challis? Tom Atkins played one of the greatest badasses in a time when men could still act like men! That mustache is legendary. Cult classic and will be one day revered as it should be.
I came on here to say the same (second best installment). I'll go eight rounds with any of the haters.
Agreed. Definitely the 2nd best Halloween film after the original.
@@mrkipling2201 I'm in agreement with you. I love Halloween III too. It definitely deserves more credit than you know. Plus, I would've loved to see Halloween go to the anthology direction that John Carpenter originally intended rather than the awful sequels that came out (Halloween 4 to 6 and Resurrection). Halloween III is definitely the most underrated installment in the franchise. Its scary and having no Michael Myers worked well.
@@kyleluna1 I totally agree with you. 👍👍
Totally agreed.
Very underated movie. Very creepy & stays in mind long after.
Tom Atkins is an extremely underrated actor. And so is his '80's moustache lol
80s mustache?
Well that was two years ago so maybe you aren't as dense now
He is great . The embodiment of the 80s tash too
always lucky with da ladies curtis in the fog and stacey in 3
He does a good job but the relationship with the leading lady is cringe worthy. She comes across as much too young for him. They feel like a daddy/daughter team to me.
This is such an underrated gem and the Ending is Epic! STOP IT !!!!!!!!!!!
My all time favourite Halloween movie ever!!!
A MISUNDERSTOOD MASTERPIECE
I’ll never forget watching this as a kid 5 or 6 yrs old. The scene when the kid collapsed with mask on and bugs crawling out of his face scared the living shit out of me!! Stuck with me. Absolute classic
I bet even if Halloween 3 was well received and the franchise became an anthology series, Michael Myers still wouldve returned in a future sequel, like a crossover movie.
Yep. Likely due to the success of characters like Jason. I’d like if the Halloween series went on as stand-alones while they could have done a spin-off series and just call it Michael Myers
Halloween 3 is amazing
Very different and completely innovative. The whole evil psycho thing wears off very easy ala Kruger and Vorhees
Halloween should've been an anthology series, in fact, I like the idea of having Halloween as an anthology series, still have Halloween setting, but with different plot, different characters and different themes. The Michael Myers story will be strictly the original and II, while the third and later films will have completely different plot, characters, and theme, but no, fans can't accept change and Halloween III flopped, fans took a dump on this film and demanded Michael Myers back.
And afterwards, the Halloween films got stale.
+Norman Bates Agreed completely.
+Norman Bates Halloween III flopped mostly because it sucked.
+ninjaf00t Exactly. The ridiculous robots and the annoying music ruined it for me.
***** Friday the 13th Part 5 sucked too but not because Jason wasn't in it. The characters were all annoying as all hell.
It depends. Some movies, like Jurassic World or Halloween 4 weren't groundbreaking but they were entertaining. Being "new" doesn't necessarily make something better or even good.
+ninjaf00t I would never say that Halloween 3 is perfect - But what it did it did well...
BUT - and its a big but... When Michael Myers was all that sold the franchise, that was bad news... And I am sorry but the same goes for Friday the 13th... I loved the movies at first - but the constant recurring Jason was in the end a joke!
The only reason we all carried on watching was not actually for Jason, but to see how ridiculous they could get with the kills and how they were going to bring him back to life again in a more insane way...
I would even go so far as to say that we have Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger to blame for the rumours of an 8TH SAW MOVIE!!!!
Its become an ingrained fixation and its bad news... I like Rob Zombies Halloween and Halloween II - It will never be as good as the original but he has managed to do something that means there is possibility of a sequel - The twisted ending of Halloween II in his remake leaves it possible for someone else to become as deranged as him... So rather than trying to come up with ridiculous ways for him to cheat death... He is replaced...
That actually works better than a constant "Ressurection"... Its cliche, Its dull and its ruining movies!!!
Don't get me wrong - I am not slagging of FT13TH or Halloween - I love them, but you have to admit that they are pretty f**king ridiculous really...
I personally found the atmosphere, music, and acting in Halloween III miles better than in the majority of the subsequent Myers heavy sequels. The one bit that still gives me chills for some reason is when Conal Cochrane tells Dr. Challis "Happy Halloween" when he's tied up. The way Dan O'Herlihy delivered that line was perfect.
alucard624 such a great movie
alucard624 Yeah with a sinister look on his face knowing he is about to die.
"They are taking her to the factory. We have the most excellent facilities for emergency care there and I assure you she will be given the very best possible treatment!!!" I think the way that Dan O'Herlihy delivered that line was perfect, my favorite, bliss. I always use that!
no e in cohran
This oddly ended up being one of the best Halloween movies and on its own an incredibly effective horror flick with truly unique material, interesting characters, great atmosphere, and an ending that truly makes a statement. Season of the Witch is very good in my opinion and perfect for the month of October annually. Fantastic video!!
321 days till Halloween...
@@whiterabbit1632 Halloween, Halloween...
This is truly the only movie I look forward to the most during the Holloween season, I never tire of watching it, and I don't know why?
I love that the intro is the DVD menu to the film. To this day, Halloween III is my favorite of the entire franchise. God bless Tommy Lee Wallace!
Thank you for your thoughtful commentary. My dad and I have always considered this one of the most original 80's horror films and never felt it ever got the recognition it deserved. I saw Carpenter on tour this year and wished he had played a piece from this soundtrack, but alas, can't have everything I guess.
Best Halloween stand alone movie. Very underrated, and that is just sad.
"Happy happy Halloween, Silver Shamrock!"
That stayed in my head for weeks.
I've always loved Halloween III. I'm so glad it's FINALLY getting the love it truly deserves. The fact it was released on my birthday only makes it that much more special to me. It broke so many rules, I wish horror today took risks like that. By the way, the "Witch" of the title is Cochran...sort of like a 20th Century Druid gone insane.
Not wishing to gloat, or come across all smug, but my sister and I loved this movie back in the 80's, despite loving the original two Halloweens.
This review is brilliant, so much information to digest....subbed
mistermyers777 thanks for the sub!
I thought this movie was scarier than the rest of the Halloweens! Original and damn creepy!
Shane Mulvey how lmao
This is an absolutely superb review of the once universally hated cult classic.
After sticking on the video, I too was one of those people who couldn't believe their eyes, when it became apparent that Myers was not involved in the storyline.
However, having only been around 10 at the time, I rediscovered the movie a few years later and it went on to become one of my all time favourites.
I genuinely believe Halloween 3 to be one of the greatest horror movies of all time.
I just LOVE every single thing about it!
Gareth Morgan Thanks so much!
if people had read the fangoria which was the only source of horror back then and no internet they would have know this was not about the shape
While I enjoy this film, I don’t think it’s one of the greatest horror films. It’s entertaining and weird but it certainly isn’t “scary” in the least. Halloween movies haven’t been scary since Halloween 2, not even the new one.
@@p.granger8824 that's fair enough.
@@p.granger8824 what about the scene where the kid died from snakes and insects you must have had some balls to think thats tame
Such an underrated movie. One of my favorite horror movies of all time. The atmosphere and score is absolutely amazing
I "discovered" this just last year after decades of ignoring it. A fantastic film! Thanks for covering it.
Thanks!
I know So many people Hate it, but personally I like Resurrection. It was the First "Halloween" I watched the most as a child and eventually I would've seen the original. but it was the one that kind of introduced me to the Halloween Series as a whole and John Carpenter's films. As I see It, its superbly bad,but watchable. I just don't see many people defending it. Not One.
I didn't hate Resurrection either. I enjoyed how they poked fun at Reality TV, like MTV's Fear... which I loved. I also enjoyed the viewer commentary/watching party scenes as they mirrored watching bad horror films with your friends.
Of course it ruined the ending of H20, so it probably would have been better as a stand alone film or a sequel to a different slasher film.
FiercelyGold LOL on the viewers mirroring real audience watching bad horror films. Personally I didn't love all of H20. It was a better sequel, I found it mediocre. The best parts of the film was the focus of Laurie's character and her, I guess, PTSD if used in the correct way and the interactions with her real life mother Janet Leigh (psycho being one of my favorite films) and her facing off against Micheal. The ending was great too, but the bulk of the story was hit and miss for me. Not the Worst, but not the best and also I didn't mind Zombie's remake either.
Leaf Me Alone Which One?
Tom Atkins is such an underrated actor. Loved seeing him in the Bloody Valentine remake which holy shit was actually a good remake Imo
Your channel is great. Halloween III is awesome, the ending alone is worth watching it.
+Jon Kline Thanks!
Being 33 now, I remember seeing this YEARS ago as a kid. I mostly forgot the plot but did remember it being really creepy. Now about a year ago when Scream Factory (Shout Factory) re-released the movie on blu-ray I was eccstatic to pick it up, and finally saw it again and LOVED IT! I cant believe there are still ppl bashing it; they seriously need to get a life.
First saw this movie in 1994. I've always loved this film for its unique style. I revisit this one every now and then. Saw this past Friday :)
That was one of the best, most interesting, tightly edited and well documented pieces I have ever seen. I also learned a few things I never knew before, such as Jamie Lee Curtis being the curfew announcer in the film. Really enjoyed watching this, thanks. Totally under-rated film.
LordHeath1972 thanks!
Shes also the operator voice on the phone
Dude I love you.
Started watching the "What happened to PG-13" almost a month ago, and Now I've been consistently watching stuff you pull.
You have not only impeccable taste, but the videos are masterfully produced.
+Antonio Gonzalez Thanks so much! :)
Hipsters and the dude word lol, but yeah, I agree.
@@GoodBadFlicks 3 more months to Halloween...
Three is low-key my favorite one in the series and I’m glad other people realize how good it is
I jjust watched "Halloween III" and I must say, the term "good bad film" fits it perfectly. It's low-budget and tacky at times, but the plot, if not believable, is actually pretty creepy. There's also a a bit of social commentary on consumerism (but again, hard to read too much into this.) Performances are solid, pacing is good and the soundtrack is pretty cool. Having the "Halloween" name was this movie's fatal flaw, because if you're expecting a Michael Myers slasher you're going to be pretty f'ing disappointed.
Totally underrated classic.
Unfairly judged because of no Michael Myers.
If you open your mind watching this it really does make for a scary concept.
The thought that someone evil could emilinate you via your TV screen, using ancient mystical powers.
Hearing in the news this week that new technology TV sets can actually listen to your conversations.
This concept is now well set to get a big budget remake to cash in on people's fears of technologies power to get into your home without you realising it.
The possibilities with today's mobile phones, laptops and tablets are endless to bring this story up to date.
One of the great cult classics
mathmoslover76 Yes, I agree this movie should be remade. With all the technology taking over our lives it is a perfect time for Halloween 3 again. The sky's the limit on what they could do....The Halloween 3 remake IS up next. Do we really need another Michael Myers movie anyway? I mean how many more times can they flog that horse? Carpenter should come back and make it and maybe we can get the anthologies like he originally planned...
One more day 'til Halloween, Halloween, Halloween. One more day 'til Halloween. Silver Shamrock!
262 more days 'til Halloween, Halloween, Halloween. 262 more days 'til Halloween. Silver Shamrock! :,(
When it comes to the Halloween films, I watch the first, second and H20. I ignore 4, 5, 6 and Resurrection. Season of the Witch on the other hand is a stand alone film that has nothing to do with the Halloween franchise. I'm happy to see the film has found it's audience after all these years!
+The Infomaniac Someone else who views 3 like I do... :)
I've liked it since the 80's.
Season of the Witch could have worked as it's own movie.
...And could have had its own sequels which puts to rest what was supposed to be the more marketable "Halloween III: "
Everything John touched before 1990 turned to pure gold!
Hell yeah!
***** you're forgetting in the mouth of madness .
that was pretty damn good!
a dark cult analog film
i like it
even without the shape
Good review. Sidenote: Jamie Lee Curtis was also the voice of the phone operator.
and the one on the intercom telling people that the 6 PM curfew has begun.
Joshua Ragland that was in the video dummy
Chuck Schick I commented that before watching the whole thing.
this was not a review it was imdb facts the video
Sidenote...jamie Lee Curtis was also the voice on Escape from New York.
3:27 has to be the scariest Halloween mask ever...
I respect the hell out of what they were trying to do with this. Going with a "we're fucked" ending was fantastic. Also, the tune is catchy as all hell.
The Silver Shamrock song sounds like the Dog Ending credit song in Silent Hill 2.
+Egores House That's what I said, but the other way around. XD
Seeing this on tv as a kid was definitely one of those formative horror experiences and I'm in the minority of fans who are totally glad that this unrelated entry in the series got made
Love a good downer ending. I remember being freaked out by this one when I was kid - it's one of those things that stays with you. I wish people were more open to them. i really liked the ending Frank Darabont came up with for The Mist (something King's story never actually resolves) but so many people just can't seem to cope with a movie that doesn't have a happy ending.
I saw Halloween and Halloween 2 between 1999 and 2001, then I saw Halloween 3 on TV in 2001 or in 2002...
I hate sequels especially on horror movies (with the exception of the Freddy Krueger saga) but I liked Halloween 2 so I gave it a try, I didn't know what to expect.
And I was blasted away! The idea behind this movie is great!
The main theme of the Halloween saga is Halloween not Myers so it's a way to keep a movie franchise fresh and interesting everytime, sadly I discovered that most of people were outraged and Halloween 4 was just another Myers sequel.
I love so much this movie, it got more Stephen King feelin' than other dull adaption of his great books, and I can't stop thinkin' about this eerie tale.
I love Halloween 3 it's actually a good movie.
I LOVE this film! I think it's a creepy classic, even without Michael Myers. I'm very thankful that people have grown to appreciate it as time went on.
Halloween 3 is and always will be one of the best horror films ever made. I love this film so much
Very interesting facts behind the scenes/making of the movie.
Watching this video again for Halloween. I've now got the Blu-Ray of Halloween 3 and now I'm a big fan.
:)
It should be re-released but as just The Season of the Witch.
+Nazzlover38 The movie has more a right to be called Halloween than the Michael Meyers films.
I discovered your channel the other day and I've been pouring over your backlog like crazy. You might be my favorite TH-cam channel right there with Every Frame a Painting. Also, nice shoutout to Samhain, the band.
+Aaron Alvarez Thank you! Always happy to have someone new on board :)
Great review, ive always loved this film , this was soo hard to find or rent out back in the late 80's and althrough the 90's, it would appear on tv , but even that was rare.
I love this movie. I wish they would have gone the anthology route.
great film but ellie being made into a robot that fast is impossible and no point still love the film also should have been cut out that bad effect of dans face melting away would have kept the long view and better have stonehenge fall on him
I'll agree on anthology route
@@girlyknight8817 great film flaws and all saw it back twice in 1982 still love it still dont like the ellie switch to fast and pointless just to have some more shocks at the end
@@gkroll8467 She had been asking around about her father, they were aware of her and had plenty of time to make a replacant of her.
dont agree even if you say its true she would have attacked even before then@@thorgrootsweetrabbit2244
I can’t believe it took me till last night to see this movie, it (to me), is the best Halloween. The timing of that advertisement song was so dark and other worldly almost tribal, fucking GENIUS!
this movie fucking rocks, a perfect Halloween setting film and even without John directing it FELT like a Carpenter film, more so than 4 etc.. people who hate on this just because of no myers are insane.
That's a lot of insane people
They should bring balance back to the Halloween series, by making another Halloween centered horror film from different writers and directors. Maybe they weren't ready for it back then, but I think now it might work. I believe they can up with something fresh and original and holiday centered as this was.
Billy Wildman although now with the remakes in full swing, I think it is past the point where they would bring back the anthology aspect.
I have always told people that Halloween 3 was the Halloween film for those who accepted the death of Michael Myers in Halloween 2. So, apparently I was one of the few that accepted Season of the Witch on it's own terms back in 1982 and was hoping that the anthology concept would catch on, but alas, it was not meant to be.
This is actually my favorite Halloween film, and I'm even going as Little Buddy for Halloween this year!
Along with the classic original this is my favourite of the series. I've always enjoyed it from the first time I saw it back in the late 80s early 90s.
classic! I remeber watching this movie as a kid. truly unique and very entertaining.
Love H3 - no Michael Myers if it had been a big hit? Is that a bad thing? I love the dark oppressive atmosphere of H3 and scared the crap out of me as a kid lol
Only Halloween movie i have in my collection, love it to death!
I love this movie... because it IS so different. It might not have much (nothing) to do with the other Halloween movies, but it still is a good 80's horror movie in my opinion.
This is an awesome film! It gets so much hate because it's an original idea
I know,right?
i'm only replying here so future readers of this comment are warned - this film is absolutely terrible. just a crap film, let alone in the horror genre. and what the hell is it doing as a halloween sequel? has nothing to do with it. i kinda thought h3 might have been some shit that had no name so the studio called it halloween 3 so they could break even at the box office (even if it was shit and you tell someone its halloween the fans will always want to see for themselves so.... ) fyi do not pay a single penny for this film and save the 2hrs of your life for something worth while (make a cake, write a letter to your family or even read a book!)
guitarHero1885 have you even watched the video above??!
I don't need your negative shit bring my energy down. Watch yourself man
k
The film isn't hated because of it's originality, it's hated because the marketing team chose to trick people into seeing it by acting like it was a follow-up to the previous movies rather than it's own thing.
I'm a new fan here...can't wait to binge watch your back-catalogue. Well done!
I did for 3 days lol.
This movie is really unique and that's what I like about it. I always wrote this movie off when I was younger when I had first discovered the Halloween franchise. The music and the eerie atmosphere is what sells it to me. While watching The Guest, it brought me back to H3 and how similar some parts are. Overall H3 is one of my favorites no doubt.
This movie is extremely underrated. I was marathoning the Halloween movies and when it got to this one for the first time, I loved it. Good video, keep up the good work! Big fan of your exploring series.
They should have just called this movie 'Season of the Witch' and left it at that.
But the style and theme and homage is Halloween through and through!
Like when the shady guys are watching people in the foreground of shots or driving by in cars at slow speed. Masks, the music, a Dr. going around investigating and trying to convince people of things.
It is a Halloween movie and a good one. It should not be considered a black sheep.
TheTallMan35 Well there isn't really a witch, just a one line reference to witchcraft, so I guess it should just be called "Season".
Type40Tardis Cochran is the witch
leozam Well yeah, but it's never really made explicitly clear.
They tried to.
I saw Halloween 3 for the first time 6-7 years ago and I didn't think much of it, but I'd much rather have seen unique and different Halloween films than more of the same movie over and over again. Myer's story would have been best ended at part 2.
+Jon Knight Seem to be seeing many comments that echo my own feelings... LOL! I saw SotW about 7 years ago too... I had never really bothered with Halloween at all much until then, and that Silver Shamrock Theme kept me awake for DAYS!!!
Its a good one of movie... Not perfect but it is a good watch, I cannot believe how much hate it gets with people saying it has a stupid story - Yet they all defend Myers Constant Ressurections???
I am glad to see that there sensible people like yourself here
I watched this randomly one night with a friend of mine and we both loved it. Though it helped that I already knew all about its history and stuff
I saw this on VHS as a kid in 1983 (after seeing and loving one and two) and absolutely loved it.
It's such a great film, especially the scene where Cochran explains his plan to Challis and ends with the most evil 'Happy Halloween' ever said in the history of anything, ever. That one line is enough to give this movie four fucking stars.
I'm gonna definetly check it out. This film is definetly undeserving of the unfair hate it earned.
Josh Virgin it seemed like its biggest fault was it wasn't a Micheal Myers movie. Thankfully people have rediscovered it over the years
Cohcran > Michael.
Love this film!! Absolute classic and one of the best in the franchise.
Agreed! :D Halloween H20 and Halloween III are my top 2 favorite movies of the franchise.
I hated this movie as a kid but a few years back I rediscovered it and came to truly appreciate it. Halloween 3 was a rare gem, well done with a lot of earnest intention.
I like the idea of a anthology, a new idea for every new Halloween movie.
Halloween 3 is an excellent movie. I can watch it every single time it is on. Many people thought this movie didn't tie in with the other Halloween movies, but we later learned that is not true. This "cult" in Halloween 3 is simply the same "cult" that is seen in Halloween 5 and Halloween 6. Conal Cochran clearly said he does things when "the planets line up." This agrees with what Tommy said in Halloween 6 when the stars line up to form the Thorn constellation.
I was hoping you would do this at some point, good choice. Solid review all around and I agree with your final decision, this is a good horror flick.
Learned some new things I never knew either, really need the new DVD!
Thanks! :)
you know, mainstream movies would never cast someone like Tom Atkins as a lead today- pretty sad... even if they have an older actor in the lead, like Clooney or something, they still have to go "silver fox" if they haven't got "pretty boy"- like an audience's main concern is watching someone who's good looking..Yes, some people DO go to see a movie because it's channing tatum or ryan gosling or whatever, but the general viewing public are pretty easily swayed by marketing and will go see whatever looks like it'll be exciting or funny generally...
Dustin Hoffman won two Oscars and complained he still had to fight for every film he got because he didn't look like a leading man
yup. it's so stupid.
Tom Atkins is a fucking sexy bitch.
Toby B au contrar good sir. atkins looks a lot like josh brolin whos had no problem getting lead roles
Even as a kid, it was refreshing to see Halloween go in a new direction. Michael Myers has NEVER been scary after the 1st, and the "series" had no business following the footsteps of its imitators.
The score is some of Carpenter's coolest synth work (pre-Lost Themes 1&2).
Tom Atkins is the best character ever to be associated with the franchise and it sucks to think how many awesome stand-alone films we could've had by now.
My favorite horror movie by far. Loved it since the first time I saw it as a kid... must of been the late 80's I'm guessing. Amazing music too.
I love the first 3 Halloween movies and I think while 4 is fine it has an amazing ending, but then 5 completely ruins 4's ending so if you want to watch H4 just don't give any thought to H5
Cillian Brouder
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Halloween 4 is worth watching just for Kathleen Kinmont.
To me, it's still just another Lovecraftian/Carpenter masterpiece.
When I was a kid, my videostore only had Halloween 3 on vhs. While I was watching it for the first time, I was a bit confused because I knew that this series is all about Michael. But despite that, I still loved the film and it stayed in my memory since then. That fantastic score, the atmosphere, Cochrane is fantastic character, always loved Tom Atkins and I loved the ending. Saw it bunch of times and I can say today that it is my favorite of all Halloween movies.
Halloween 3 is sort of like a full length movie version of an episode of Tales From The Crypt.Good story,acting,and the ending is just like Amazing Spider-Man issue 121 "The Night Gwen Stacy Died"in the sense that the hero doesn't win in a rare time.Evil seems to triumph.
Actually, this is a GoodGoodFlick.
It is a good good flick...LOL
I still think Halloween didn't need past Halloween II.
That's what most of these "Exploring ______" videos are.
Yeah, if video man likes a movie, he makes an "Exploring" video. If he regrettably likes a movie, he makes a "GoodBadFlicks" trademark stolen by the Amazing Atheist video. I just learned this yesterday because I've never heard of youtube.
How about a GoodGreatFlick?
If you don't like Halloween III just because Myers is not in it or you don't understand why it does not tie-in with the rest of the series....then......you are LOST!!!!
Completely agree. When I was younger, it was that weird Halloween movie without Myers. But revisiting it years later, I've come to really like this film. My friend recommended your channel & I'm glad he did. Great videos!
They used to show this movie alot on Wgn channel 9 in Chicago.... I remember being weirded out that it was called Halloween III despite that it wasnt Michael Myers related. But as soon as I saw the first and second kill (the woman in the motel picking at the chip)...I was creeped out. This movie WORKS and I am glad that today its getting more attention. I recently saw a horror fan's car with a silver shamrock bumper sticker. I was like YEAH !!!!!
I love the Michael Myers character, but I have to say that this film is my favorite sequel. But, my favorite in the series is still the original.
Michael Wolfe While I love this one, it is hard to top the original
I so much wish we could have seen what some of those other movies would have been.
someone should ask Carpenter what Halloween 4 was going to be about. perhaps a script or treatment still exists somewhere.
@@nightmaretomb5294 It was supposed to be a ghost story.
I use to see this on the Saturday or Sunday afternoon movies on TV. I loved it. It was great with the lady being a robot and her veins squirting goop. It was iconic to me as a kid. thanks to broadcast tv
Excellent video. These are as good as DVD extras -- if not better ! Commentaries are fun, but you give an hour and a half's worth of info in less than 15 minutes, plus interesting opinions on how poorly received or forgotten movies hold up after a decade or two. Bravo !
the only way they would have been able to make the series an anthology would have been to NOT make the second film about Myers. The funny thing is we panned the departure, and NOW we pan the excessive amount of sequels.now, finding the 3rd one as refreshing and different
so true
AS:RG JC did not want a sequel period.
I watched all of the Halloween movies a few years ago back-to-back and eventhough part 3 has very little to do with the rest of the series, I still enjoyed it a lot.
And *thanks* :/ Now I have that stupid jingle stuck in my head again!
I love Halloween III!! It's so criminally underrated!!
I love movies like this, Trick 'r Treat, and Halloween 6 where there's such attention paid to the props/costumes/locations that gives off that true Halloween feel.
I love Trick r' Treat, a sequel is being made.
