The answer is "No idea, because I cant find the little fucker in any of the stores around here":)

Or:

"Check out the other thread, as other members share some opinions"

[Ginger<3]

i would check the other thread but it's not the answer i asked. i didn't ask if it worth watching ... i asked if it was a bad movie or just annoying that it's not about michael. basically if it was just called season of the witch would it be concidered bad or does it just piss people off that they tried a movie in a totally different direction?

Hmmm...allow me to introduce some experts to shed some light on your question:

...If you kind of ignore the fact that its part of the halloween series it stands alone as (in my opinion) an effective if not slightly flawed film....

I think its a pretty decent flick, independent of the franchise..

...a good attempt at unique franchise....


Any guesses as to my source?

the source really doesn't interest me ...... the point is the thread's title wasn't what i wanted to know and i'm not going to read it all in hopes to find and answer when i already asked it here especially when i didn't know if i'd get my answer there. had i seen that thread first perhaps i'd have read it on the off chance to see but since i didn't see it first and already made this thread then there's no reason why i couldn't have just gotten my answer right here.

A. It has many interesting and entertaining qualities. And atmosphere! B. I own it, and I like watching it. C. I'm not annoyed that Michael Myers isn't in it. I thought the series should have had more films like this in it--most of the sequels are gawdawful, and far worse than this film.

interesting. i've always just skimmed over it because he was not in it then it became habit. i really need to rent it and give it a whirl. thank you for your answer.

I thought it sucked when I saw it the first time I watched it around 15 years ago when I first got into the Halloween series, Mainly because there was no Michael, But I've seen it on late night tv since and I liked a little more, but it's not a great movie.

[IDrinkYourBlood]

I think its a good movie on its own. plus i really like the tag. "the night no one came home" heh heh

[Ginger<3]

i really really hope i can find it because even if it's kinda sucky i want to see it.

[Elvis_Christ]

This thread is fucking retarded.

[Ginger<3]

This thread is fucking retarded.

then did someone make you post in it at gunpoint? ;)

[pinkfloyd45769]

I guess when H3 was made they were not thinking of making anymore with Myers.I like the movie, i never gave it much of a chance until recently either. Check it out you might like it,i suggest rent not buy!

[crimson_ghost]

I've never seen it, never really been into halloween though i've seen all but three, probably because I don't know anyone or anywhere with it

[Ginger<3]

i've only ever seen it at the rental store a few times and it was a long time ago and i've never laid eyes on a DVD of it.

Neither. Fantastic movie all around.

[Elvis_Christ]

it's not very nice to criticize people like that. You sound like a real loadeater and someone should blow their load all over your face. Be nice!

Fuck up moron its tired and you're not funny.

[Elvis_Christ]

Why are you always trying to pick on me?

Because I hate you

[Elvis_Christ]

Nothing. I just hate for hates sake.

[Elvis_Christ]

Blah, blah, blah, load, load, blowing loads, some other lame shit, blah

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggght.

Fuck I must be bored :)

[Spec7ral]

return..good for you , you know abou tall the threaeds around, pretty sure its halloween in general and the halloween 3 question will always kick around. the fact that she asked is great. maybe you should post an opinion or some knowledge. anyone who follows M.M knows he wasn't around ofr the 3rd installment and thats one of the reasons its even crazier. peep game.

[The Flayed One]

Guess I'll keep fighting the good fight.

I know you're not actually asking the same question that most people do, Ginger:

"omg wtf wheres mikael lawlz omg whyd u call it halloween what a stupid movie it suxxors"

Which, I'm assuming basically translates to: "Why did they make a Halloween movie without Michael Myers in it?"

I know that's not the question your asking, but before anyone jumps into the thread and asks it I'll just go ahead and explain.

The Halloween series was intended to be original movies that came out every year or so that deal with Halloween and things that happen on the holiday. Michael Myers was never intended to be the franchise villain. However, it seems everyone in the world thought that was the case, and a Halloween movie without Michael didn't go over very well, hence they brought him back.

Now, on to your question, Ginger. Halloween III is not a terrible movie. I'm assuming 90% of the bad rap comes from people not knowing the above when they first see it. It's nothing to right home to the folks about, but it's good cheesy fun. The Silver Shamrock theme song will drive you mad. As far as it being bad just because Michael Myers isn't in it, no. I think a lot of people would agree that IV & V might have been better if it weren't for Michael Myers.

Edit: Sorry flayed I only read half of the post, then put mine in I just now read it.

wow thank you for answer.

maybe people would have been less annoyed by the change if they'd only made on movie with michael then switched to something else after. like have every movie been unique. i assume after 2 movies with the same person people assumed the 3rd would have michael too then didn't give it a chance when they found out. i don't know why i always skipped over it. now i can't wait to see it.

you think they'd be much more annoyed by the mediochre shit that followed.

probably pissed that the main lead was an older guy and not some 21 year old soap opera star.

as i remember the main gal in that was a looker too ...

i really liked 4 and 5, maybe because i liked jamie and her storyline. 6 was meh and i was mad that jamie was killed off.

No problem, Ginger:) I'm only too happy to help answer questions that are actually related to horror.

And on a horror forum even, wot?!:eek: :D

Seems to be a lot of people wondering if #3 is any good...watch it, heck its worth a rent at any costs...idea was for about 20 Halloween movies, all different stories, all at Halloween...they messed up by #2 being about the same as #1...rumored #4 was being done by Tobe Hooper...but #3 bombed so bad that they scrapped the idea...which stinks....but they didn't advertise that #3 wasn't about Michael Myers and that just pissed alot of people off. I remember going to see #3 and thinking what the hell is this? myself.
