Halloween 3: under rated
 

here's a bit of a history lesson, after the major success of halloween john carpenter and deb hill were approached to make a sequel and yet another (halloween 3) carpenter/hill wanted to get completely away from michael myers (the 1st was their baby and was not written to be a sequel and felt they were doing the film and injustice) and just do different stories under the heading halloween (it's the title that sells after all) plus, john owed his friend tommy lee wallace a little favor and here we have h-3. okay, it didn't do so well and that's b/c ppl wanted michael. it is my opinion that if we were to look h-3 as season of the witch and not as halloween ppl might look at it differently. it's 80's-a little dated and cheesy in some areas w/ the whole dashing doctor and victim's grieving daughter but IMO the movie is good and really it was ahead of it's time. video cameras and cyborgs! and it was sinister! it was more than just "bugs in a mask" as i've heard some ppl argue-it's about witch craft and the sickest joke of all it's one that's, "played on the children." that's pretty fricken creepy. carpenter didn't have the advantages of speilberg and cameron w/ CGI to work w/
if you ask me cameron stole the idea from terminator from john carpenter ;)

john carpenter is a visionary! and no, i'm not him but i love his incredible movie making ability :) austin, it is my opinion that you should fly to michigan so we can have a halloween film fest :) lord knows we would have sooo much to talk about!

well, if they wanted to get away from micheal myers they just had to call the movie a different name, like shammask or something
I mean cmon, why call it halloween 3? simply for the money, it's sad

no one said it was the right decision and they admitted it wasn't..everyone's entitled to one screw up...look at rob zombie's movie TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE PART 10... i mean, HOUSE OF A THOUSAND CORPSES....that thing was absolute trash but hey! you win some and you lose some

I still say Corpses is a great film.:D

what was so bad about house of 1000 corpses ????

I'm a fan of Halloween 3 - thought the idea of introducing a new season of human sacrifice and perpetual night through the ritual murder of millions of children was quite creepy. It hasn't aged well, but the idea still works for me, and the film has it's moments.

IMHO the rest of the Halloween films were redundant. Michael kills and kills and when you think he's dead he gets right up again. Sisters, Thorn, whatever, we get the idea.

What if Halloween 1 were the only Michael Myers film, Season of the Witch was Halloween 2, and any others in the series were stories that had to do with Samhain?

I've thought about that too. Our ideas would be different I suppose but they fucked it up when they made a direct sequel to the first one. It would be...weird............

very interesting points of view....don't get me started on "house.."
