Halloween III Tribute

A tribute to the the incredibly underrated Halloween III: Season of The Witch, which is truly the last great Halloween installment in the series (and all around one of the best horror movies from the 80's).

How does this even fit into the series? Let's see:

1 - Michael Myers obsessed, wants to kill his sister and whoever the heck else.

2 - Hey, it's still happening, same night, same story. But still good.

3 - Evil celtic mastermind wants to use Stonehenge bits and his magical robots to kill enough kids to raise Samhain from the dead and what... apocalypse or something?

4 - Michael Myers wants to kill some folks.

5 - Repeat ad nauseum.

Do I love this movie for its ridiculousness? Yes, yes I do.

@workscare John Carpenter and Debra Hill originally intended for this to be an anthology series. The Michael Myers story was wrapped up in Halloween II and now they wanted to move on to something fresh and different. It's a shame really that they were forced by the audience to recycle the same formulaic Michael Myers crap over and over again from there on out.

An under rated movie yes! People give it a hard time because it had no Michael Myers but Ummm..One of the best horror movies of the 80's? Hell no! And the last great Halloween installment? No waayyyy XD! Are you drunk? 4 was amazing!

I do think it's one of the best horror movies from the 80's. I also do think it's the last great Halloween installment. I never cared for anything after III, except maybe H20. Halloween 4 and beyond never managed to capture the same tone and feel of the first three films. Once the John Carpenter connection was gone, so was a great series.

@molcoo omfg, H20 SUCKED ASSS - why does everyone praise that god awful thing?

[molcoo]

@W4nt3dHB I really enjoyed H20. Admittedly, it's not one of the best installments in the franchise, but it's still vastly better than 4-6, Resurrection, and RZ's dreadful trash. There's a nihilistic atmosphere, well developed characters, a solid script, and some great suspense. Best of all though, the director chose to take a step back from all of the convoluted nonsense of 4-6 and return to the basics, which is what made the first three Halloweens excellent (simple horror at its best).

Like I always said: Halloween 3 is the Halloween film for those who could accept that Michael Myers died in Halloween 2, and is dead, dead, DEAD!!!!

John Carpenter always intended for Michael Myers to die in Halloween 2, that's why he came up with the anthology idea that started with the third film.

By the way, Halloween 4 was the film that really insulted me, where Michael and Dr. Loomis "got better". I did give it a try, and decided to stay away from the rest of the series.

Halloween 3 was... okay. I kinda liked the Sliver Shamrock idea

@twitter654 John Carpenter was probably one of the most talented Directors of his time, and was able to skip genres. Some forget that he also Directed Big Trouble In Little China, and also scoring his own movies. He's one of the best all time.
