Hallowe'en sequels
 

Recently saw Hallowe'en 3 on tv, after hearing about it a while ago - basically, it has nothing to do with the story of the original, or indeed Mike Myers him/itself, and as such was slated by fans of the series. I personally thought it was the best of the sequels I've seen (in a cheesy, B-movie-ish way), but what do you think? Do horror sequels have to be closely related to their originals, or should they be more about loosely-related new stories? What's your favourite Hallowe'en sequel.

IMO if your going to do a remake you need to do it with the original director's consent and approval to deter those that are just trying to make a quick buck by throwing together trash. A sequel should not change in tone from the first or try and change the story in any drastic way; if you don't want to do this than don't make a sequel, come up with something entirely original.

its called a sequal for a reason its supposed to follow up the one before it and halloween 3 did not i do think its a good movie in its own right but not as a halloween sequal

At last - sense!

Season of the Witch is a top horror movie, but for some inexplicable reason many folk dismiss it out of hand because it has nothing to do with Michael Myers.

If viewers can get over this fact, and understand John Carpenter (who produced Halloween 3) was not trying to rip Myers fans off in selling them a dud under a marketable name (like many Italian movies are notorious for), then perhaps the film can be re-evaluated and appreciated for what it is... rather than for what is anticipated.

Some horror franchise fans obviously command strict rules for each new instalment... but it all sounds awfully restrictive to me, and if one different movie comes along that upsets the neat DVD boxset up on their shelves then all the better.

I've always liked season of the witch ...

But wasnt there one Halloween where Michael wasnt the killer ..
(you kept seeing a black pointed toe boot ... and it was never explained who the guy was.)

I havent seen it in a long time so I might be mixing it up with the Friday the 13th series where one of them (besides #1) had no Jason...just some loser copycat.

season of the witch was ok, its not the greatest but its a good way to kill 1hr and 30 minutes

my fav sequal is number 2

Yep.

i heard somewhere that the makers of halloween had an idea to release a new sequel every halloween with an entirely different storyline. but because fans were so outraged by SOTW they brought myers back.

3 is gay im mean killer masks, buttons and commercals how lame is that... i count 1 and 2 as the same movie cause it starts right after each other
