  • A terrific opening soundtrack but the film itself sucks balls.

  • the movie wasn't all that great, but the synthesized soundtrack is one of the most memorable I've experienced.

  • I love how the music goes along with the lines making the pumpkin on the screen...genius :)

  • Reminds me of the theme to "The Thing". Considering both films were released in 1982, I'd like to think that Carpenter belted out these 2 themes during the same recording session lol.

  • As a fan of 80s horrors, id have to say halloween 3 gets a bum rap. Wo cares myers isnt in it. It is a dam good horror movie with all thr key elememts, esp a creepy soundtrack. I love this movie! 20 more days til hallowenn!, SILVER SHAMROCK

  • Got this film and soundtrack. A decent storyline and plot. Directed by Tommy Wallace who went on to direct Fright night 2.

  • A VERY, VERY underrated movie...and yeah, the music is sweet.

    I hope it's shown a bunch this Halloween.

    Yeah, I know I could buy the DVD...but somehow it's just not the same.

  • @johnnycabot Yo this movie is coming on AMC on oct. 24 at 10 pm and also oct. 25 at 6 pm :)

  • @MrGSWAGG92 Sweet!

    I'll set the DVR...especially now that Directv has AMC in HD.

    ...which is also money for The Walking Dead...

  • @jrsjr81 agreed

  • If anything gets me in the Halloween spirit, it's this opening theme. I love this movie and the soundtrack.

  • Probably the creepiest opening credit music I have ever heard.

  • Classic movie. 

  • ill put this song up against any horror soundtrack in the mid 80s

  • @xiAshleyMarie The Night Of The Demons soundtrack is as good as this one...

  • @MrGSWAGG92 Yes, but H3's soundtrack is more about bleak atmosphere, Night of the Demons's soundtrack (although it's pretty damn good) has a grunge\heavy metal sound. It's supposed to sound more cool than eerie or freaky.

  • @tenchimasake Yea ur right...if i had 2 choose i think i would have 2 go wit H3 soundtrack XD

  • @MrGSWAGG92 Yeah, I think H3 soundtrack is even better than H1 soundtrack. More atmosphere to it.

  • Fantastic film. Love the feel of it, the grain etc...

  • the best halloween film after the first one! Just awesome :)

  • too bad

  • Oldskool intro, oldskool music and Oldskool film.

    This just doesnt happen nowadays :(

  • This is an Awesome Piece of Music

  • I like Halloween 3 much better after seeing it in a theater last summer..it just gets shit on because it has Halloween in the title. Big mistake. I love Myers though, don't care if he burned up in Halloween 2. You can't stop the bogeyman!

  • this is so creepy anyone know the track of the opening soundtrack?

  • @queengil Yeah its Halloween III opening theme...duh. You can download the whole soundtrack off of iTunes.

  • This Film is SO underrrateddd is a Masterpiece!

  • Good stuff from back in the day. Conan the Barbarian came out same year. Loved that fuckin' movie.

  • @ IamAdamWafer... I always say the same thing. It had nothing to do with the other Halloween movies so it should have been completely separate. However, good movie nonetheless.

  • @jillbilics i think halloween iii was good, but the title was deceptive. surely the producer knew that tons of people would think that it was a sequel to halloween ii. even if one had never heard of haloween i and halloween ii, he likely would have assumed that halloween iii was a sequel to a movie called halloween ii. i think the titles should have been: "halloween: the boogeyman", "hallo-: the boogeyman lives", "hall-:season of the witch", "hall-: the boogeyman ( or myers ) returns, etc.

  • @coventrygardens Good idea...I think that would have been the right way to go. However, I still love H3! :)

  • @jillbilics when the producer made "halloween" and "halloween ii" and "halloween iii", he likely had no idea that myers and loomis would become such big stars. i would like to think there is a parallel dimension in which myers and loomis are fighting it out eternally. furthermore, halloween iii does have a connection with the myers/loomis story, because cochran and myers were both affected by the ancient druids with their holiday "samhain". i wish loomis had been the one who went after cochran.

  • This should have been a totally separate movie from Halloween. It was a cool movie. It just should have been called Season of the Witch & not Halloween 3.

  • @IamAdamWafer Remember Halloween was suppose to be about different stories surrounding Halloween, no just another slasher series. Plus Micheal Myers was beyond dead at the end of the 2nd one. However people whined whined and whined for the beyond terrible sequels(the 4th was okay), because after this one John Carpenter left the series all together. Also remember that the 3 masks in this movie are called the "Halloween 3," do think the title means just that.

  • @IamAdamWafer i think halloween iii was good, but the title was deceptive. surely the producer knew that tons of people would think that it was a sequel to halloween ii. even if one had never heard of haloween i and halloween ii, he likely would have assumed that halloween iii was a sequel to a movie called halloween ii. i think the titles should have been: "halloween: the boogeyman", "hallo-: the boogeyman lives", "hall-:season of the witch", "hall-: the boogeyman ( or myers ) returns", etc.

  • The movie had a good concept but overall pretty shity, they should remake it a do itright.

  • Good movie, should of been independent of the first two Halloween movies ,that's why it didn't do well because everyone didn't like that it was called Halloween 3 and had absolutely nothing to do with the first 2 ,everyone was thrown off by it so it became judged by that wrongfully.

  • @kpartlow17 yes...people should have judged it on it's face and not by the fact of the title halloween 3...it was obviously a ploy to make money

  • @Pinhead222

    i agree 100 percent

  • I don't see why people didn't like this idea, it would have been way better then all thoese endless Michale Myers sequals.

  • Why the fuck was Halloween 1 advertised in this movie if it's supposed to be a part of the series.

  • THIS FILM NO ESTA MICHAEL MYERS

  • Nothing like a Carpenter soundtrack!

  • Comment removed

  • good movie.....I Just really wish that it wasnt called Halloween. It definately would have gotten a better reception if it was not part of the Franchise

  • Comment removed

  • The begining is great. The movie is ok. Just a brief bad moments near the end. I liked it really. I think it's a great movie.

  • I WORSHIP- FELLOW COMMENTS!

  • I've always thought this movie was based on the freemasons as well.

  • Sounds like you've been watching Videodrome one too many times.

  • Connell Cochran....."oh and have a Happy Halloween"

  • MINT 10/10 AGAIN.

  • _____________________

  • 10/10 again

  • The music to this movie scared the crap out of me as a kid, especially those shrill opening notes. And poor Marge - couldn't even look at the screen after the "misfire."

  • this film is great 10/10, proper halloween weird story regarding the true narute "witchcraft" and not hack n slash. I like the angle also, the pyro tech tv add...lol 10000% yes on this one!.

  • i just watched this,

    i feel that the produces should have keeped the story line to the myers family.

    dont get me wrong this was an "okay" movie but they should have called it somthing tottaly different.

  • i agree totally....they should have called it..."season of the witch"...."halloween"

  • Awesome...it's a sequel, but the story takes place in a universe far away from the MM universe....the only thing unifying the three films is the overwhelming EVIL of Halloween..

  • LOL too right bout tha opening credits and tha Outer Limits thing..this movie still gives me tha creeps

  • I love the opening credits to this film

  • @DanIN72

    Pure 1980's right there. Brings you back tot hat era when the music kicked serious ass.

  • @MrTantraMan So true! :)

  • @DanIN72 me too

  • I love people who casually toss around the phrase "worst movie ever". It usually means they've seen few films, and have horrible taste.

  • At first i didn't like it but now i really love it especially the music and when the film opens to darkness and the date and time appears that to me is chilling this theme reminds me a little of the terminator just the bass sounds if you know what i mean cus this came out in uh when did this come out early 80's

  • You also hear the same similarity music in the movie Blood hook.

  • very good film,i agree it's underrated

  • A seriously underrated film, that too many people disregard simply because it doesn't have The Shape in it.

  • i agree with you buddy i enjoy this film and the score from it

  • The Shape died in sequel II. It turned in to a mediocre slasher series after this movie.

  • well said i agree

  • @PokeyBessie

    It's because John Carpenter and Debra hill were no longer involved in the productions they made later in the series. John Carpenter's idea was to bring a new concept to the halloween movie. He was done with The Shape and wanted to do something new, but since it go so much bad ratings on it, Debra Hill and John Carpenter dropped out of the production.

  • I thought the Terminator (1984) was done by the same music guy as H3, so I looked up The Terminator. Instead of Alan Howarth, like I thought, the music to the Terminator films were done by some guy named Brad can't-remember-his-last-name. Weird huh? Yet, the music sounds incredibly similar.

  • Brad Fiedel

  • yo m8 exactly what i put on my comment great minds think alike they do sound similiar

  • Music reminds me of The Terminator.

  • and I thought I was the only one who thought that! :)

  • Same with me...the original 1984 film, not any of the sequels.

  • Brill film.

  • H3 makes a great double feature with 'Looker" with James Coburn With the whole "synth-pop, 1982 computer technology killing people" vibe - Im sure its on youtube in some form.

    If you're gonna criticize H3, then getting familiar with 'Looker' kinda puts that small moment in time into perspective.

    I own the limited edition soundtrack and listen to it frequently. I love how each synth note plays with the editing of the on-screen raster lines of the pumpkin.

  • also videodrome and probably scanners for that matter.

  • Yes, exactly.

  • I own it aswell. It's a awesome score, and I listen to it often aswell. Will never sell it! :-)

  • Terrible film, though the opening was good.

  • This was one of the best ones ever made! You just didn't get it.

  • Best ever what? Film or Halloween film? Either way: lollercaust.

    Why is it whenever someone says they don't like a film someone always has to reply with "You don't get it!"

    I GOT IT. I JUST DIDN'T LIKE IT!

  • You don't get it. That's why you didn't like it. It made perfect sense with the storyline.

  • Fucking idiot. I don't like it. Simple as. It's not that I didn't get it because I did get it. Where in my original post did I mention about me not getting it?!

  • Allright, WHY didn't you like it?

  • Because the acting was terrible, the plot was turgid and the ever so annoying "Three more days until Halloween, Halloween, Halloween."

  • I think the acting was good. It was scary back then.

  • I enjoyed Halloween 3. It's cool you don't like it, Academy. As long as it's not because "there was no Michael Myers". I also hate it when people say "you don't get it that's why you hate it".

  • Yeah, I didn't mind that there was no Michael Myers, they were trying to head for a new direction, that was until Halloween 4 came...

  • Were are these films nowadays no matter how crap they are...WHERE ARE THEY???

    Total call Hallo'a film...brimming with fnatasy and story, ok some acting is poor and things should be better BUT its the story/history/factual ideas & and total imagination.

    Guys takea fucking MM break.

  • I can actually go to a vidoe store around the corner from me, and get some old movies for rental :)

    all halloween i think

    all hellraisers

    all FT13ths

    all nightmares

  • One of my fave ever movie intro's. i love this.

  • The script is well written and this film will never appear to hack n slash noob brains... its total fantasy... a fucking warlock guy from Ireland following a tradition from witches in the tradition were the slaughter from anlimas n so on and so forth....

    in any case its a mad concept were above all the sacrifices come from a tv pumkin and a strobe light were we all know which causes madness.......jesus you couldnt make thisd shit up... guys zip up and shut up!!!

  • only if that carpenter guy directed this one... then it would have been a major block buster

  • Cool Intro!

  • yes, 80's movies forever !

  • lastima que no ingles

  • im not gonna lie.

    I would have really liked to have seen the movie that could've been made going by the VHS cover art.

    Now that would be the total shit for horror movies.

    camp up the bazooskie

  • H3 came on cinemax the other night. Although myers isnt in it, i think it had that great horrors 80's feel to it. Plus... i loved the intro so much as many people agree.

  • Even though this was a different movie than the others, I still liked it. I really liked the intro and the music went well with this movie.

  • The Halloween franchise is one of my favourite horror movies, but I do not get Season of the Witch

  • People don't understand, Halloween was headed in another direction. Michael Myers was back by popular demand. I thought part 3 was actually very good. It didn't have to do with Michael Myers because, he was supposed to be dead. What was bad was that Debra Hill and Mustapha made us wait 6 years before he made Halloween 4, but much respect to the franchise. Halloween 3 is still one of my favorite horror movies.

  • this is a very bored movie actually i did´t understand what this picture treated of

  • This music is very subtle, ominous, and effective.

  • Fantastic and eerie film . Thanks to morons Mikey Myers came back ,despite having his eyes shot out and being burned alive.

  • @DeHumph and i also agree with you 100% i love this move...it is great...they should have named it...Season of the Witch

  • i rank this intro right behing halloween 2 one awesome very creepy

  • Because John Carpenter wanted nothing to do with the, Michael Myers, character after "Halloween II"

    Every "Halloween" film, after "Halloween II" was going to be like this one. A "Twilight Zone" sort of series with each film taking place on Halloween.

    After the poor reviews and backlash, due to the absence of Michael Myers, John Carpenter gave up and Moustapha Akkad took over the franchise.

    John Carpenter has not been involved with any, "Halloween" film since, "Halloween III"

  • Yeah I think I read that somewhere. I heard after this one flopped he was like I'm outta here.

  • Love this!

  • THANK GOODNESS someone has put another one up, YT is cracking down on everything lately, what they did to Aldaberon is unforgivible, I swear!

  • Yeah no doubt wtf was that about? He was cool and he posted some awesome vids, where's the harm in that?

  • god i love the begining of this movie creepy

  • this is the scariest part of that movie lol

    scene it

  • This movie stands on its own in the Halloween franchise, and does no harm to any of the other instalments in the series. No matter how many Myers fans [not that I hate Myers]-hate the third instalment, it still has quite a big following...Get over it!

  • The synthesizers remind me of the score for "The Thing".

  • 1982, the year of the syntesizer. Probably my favorite musical instrument of all time!

    This soundtrack, was amazing! So eerie and atmospheric. It really added another element to the film. And the film is BRILLIANT!

    They are similar although John Carpenter and Alan Howarth did the score for "Halloween III" and Ennio Marricone did the score for "The Thing". But that bass "bum bum.. bum bum.. bum bum.." Definitely is in both films

  • best soundtrack of the series was H-3.

  • also reminds me of creepshow (another 1982 horror film) in the scene where leslie nielson watches ted dansen drown.

  • Yeah "Creepshow" had a good score too. You could here some of it, in the show, "Tales From The Darkside" as well.

    A lot of elements from "Creepshow" were in "Tales From The Darkside" (The 1/2 hour show that aired between late 1983 to 1988)

    The creature from "The Crate" looked, eeriely similar to the goblin from, the episode "Trick or Treat".

    1982, was a fantastic year for horror films, music too

  • Yeah composer John Harrison scored Creepshow and 'Darkside. I loved his Day of the dead score as well -awesome

  • @baddog7676

    Dude, you're after my own heart. Love that whole 'drone' synth stuff. Check out the wendy carlos track in the shining - same synth used as this.

    h

  • Comment removed

  • @baddog7676 i have to agree with you 100% here my friend..this is very eerie

  • @baddog7676 yes the thing is great....theme..this reminds me alot of that movie...the thing is my favourite movie of all time...

  • beautiful and apocalyptic soundtrack

    computers became our Gods about the time this was made

  • flush all comments about Michael Myers

    this has a haunting opening

    great synthesizers

    very clever how they timed the computer graphics with the music

    very underrated movie

  • This movie is as good as invasion of the body snatchers, if not better, and 4 all ye folks that dont understand why halloween 3 is a (totally different story)than PART 1 OR PART 2, is because John Carpenter wanted all the next Halloween movies to be completely different stories, like tales from the crypt, pity He failed, I'm sick of Michael myers, long live Jason Voorhees & Tom Atkins.

  • i never really got halloween 3 what did it have 2do w/ michael myers?????

  • John Carpenter wanted the series to end after Halloween 2

  • Plus, he said he had to get really drunk to finish the screenplay for II.

  • NOTHING YOU IDIOT... ITS A DIFFERENT STORY, IM SICK OF MICHAEL MYERS, by the way how many bullets does he have in him by now, Rob zombies version stank as well. F U

  • hey wheres halloween 4????
