Exploring Halloween 3 Season of the Witch 

Agreed, possibly the absolute best horror score of all time.

also when atkins is making the call the same street where the shape bangs into warlocks son with the boom box and then walks up the street more

great point I loved it when I saw it in 82 two times in the theater where were all these horror fans summer of 1982 for the thing all these movies wind up getting appreciated years later like big trouble in little china well if the number is the case he could have called halloween season and halloween 4 should have just been called halloween the return of mm

@@JustAPersonWatchingYT lol

Carpenter didn't want to make a second Myers film. The studio saw the first film made a lot of money and ordered a part two hoping would be another hit, which it wasn't. Halloween II was made under protest.

osriccauldwyn Let's hope it can be brought back by Mr. Carpenter.

@@nightmaretomb5294, Halloween 2 1981 was also great maybe not as great as Halloween 1978 but still it was a great movie.

Yes indeed! Had they not made people get too used to Michael Myers by making a Part 2 about him. Had they went with the anthology idea right away people probably would received and respected the anthology idea. To say the least even if they just had named it Halloween: Season of the Witch instead of Halloween 3: Season of the Witch people probably would've understood the Halloween Anthology series amd would've received it well, but all because of Halloween 2 is the reason why people did not receive Halloween 3 Season of the Witch well and gave it poor ratings. Also what made people not receive this movie well is also them looking at the other 2 Iconic horror villains Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees, they also started asking why Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees can have many sequels and not Michael Myers, which was also another reason why they had no choice but to bring the Michael Myers character back into the Halloween Franchise and still in today's day Michael Myers is a big hit under the Halloween name just like Freddy is in the Nightmare on Elm Street Franchise and Jason is in the Friday the 13th Franchise.

@@AmerIndianWarrior, There is a Fan Film here of the sequel to Halloween 3 Season of the Witch called The Return of the Witch, I don't know if you have seen it, but all I can say it was a terrible sequel, I felt the sequel could've been done better, if you see it you would agree as well. If anything yes if only Carpenter only had the idea right now to make an official sequel to the Halloween 3 Season of the With movie that would be great, I always wonder what happens after Daniel Challis (Tom Atkins) yells "Stop It!!!!"

I love it so much!

Me to..in hindsight maybe actually breaking character for one movie did something for future sequels...plus my and a few friends found slot of laughs in some of this lol..still watch it to this day

Billy Cobb its my second favorite, plus i think its the scariest because is the most realistic in my opinion

Billy Cobb definitely a good bad movie.

The most realistic would be the first one

80s mustache?

Well that was two years ago so maybe you aren't as dense now

He is great . The embodiment of the 80s tash too

always lucky with da ladies curtis in the fog and stacey in 3

He does a good job but the relationship with the leading lady is cringe worthy. She comes across as much too young for him. They feel like a daddy/daughter team to me.

Yep. Likely due to the success of characters like Jason. I’d like if the Halloween series went on as stand-alones while they could have done a spin-off series and just call it Michael Myers

321 days till Halloween...

@@whiterabbit1632 Halloween, Halloween...

alucard624 such a great movie

alucard624 Yeah with a sinister look on his face knowing he is about to die.

"They are taking her to the factory. We have the most excellent facilities for emergency care there and I assure you she will be given the very best possible treatment!!!" I think the way that Dan O'Herlihy delivered that line was perfect, my favorite, bliss. I always use that!

no e in cohran

I came on here to say the same (second best installment). I'll go eight rounds with any of the haters.

Agreed. Definitely the 2nd best Halloween film after the original.

@@mrkipling2201 I'm in agreement with you. I love Halloween III too. It definitely deserves more credit than you know. Plus, I would've loved to see Halloween go to the anthology direction that John Carpenter originally intended rather than the awful sequels that came out (Halloween 4 to 6 and Resurrection). Halloween III is definitely the most underrated installment in the franchise. Its scary and having no Michael Myers worked well.

@@kyleluna1 I totally agree with you. 👍👍

Totally agreed.

+Norman Bates Agreed completely.

+Norman Bates Halloween III flopped mostly because it sucked.

+ninjaf00t Exactly. The ridiculous robots and the annoying music ruined it for me.

***** Friday the 13th Part 5 sucked too but not because Jason wasn't in it. The characters were all annoying as all hell. It depends. Some movies, like Jurassic World or Halloween 4 weren't groundbreaking but they were entertaining. Being "new" doesn't necessarily make something better or even good.

+ninjaf00t I would never say that Halloween 3 is perfect - But what it did it did well... BUT - and its a big but... When Michael Myers was all that sold the franchise, that was bad news... And I am sorry but the same goes for Friday the 13th... I loved the movies at first - but the constant recurring Jason was in the end a joke! The only reason we all carried on watching was not actually for Jason, but to see how ridiculous they could get with the kills and how they were going to bring him back to life again in a more insane way... I would even go so far as to say that we have Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger to blame for the rumours of an 8TH SAW MOVIE!!!! Its become an ingrained fixation and its bad news... I like Rob Zombies Halloween and Halloween II - It will never be as good as the original but he has managed to do something that means there is possibility of a sequel - The twisted ending of Halloween II in his remake leaves it possible for someone else to become as deranged as him... So rather than trying to come up with ridiculous ways for him to cheat death... He is replaced... That actually works better than a constant "Ressurection"... Its cliche, Its dull and its ruining movies!!! Don't get me wrong - I am not slagging of FT13TH or Halloween - I love them, but you have to admit that they are pretty f**king ridiculous really...

Shane Mulvey how lmao

Gareth Morgan Thanks so much!

if people had read the fangoria which was the only source of horror back then and no internet they would have know this was not about the shape

While I enjoy this film, I don’t think it’s one of the greatest horror films. It’s entertaining and weird but it certainly isn’t “scary” in the least. Halloween movies haven’t been scary since Halloween 2, not even the new one.

@@p.granger8824 that's fair enough.

@@p.granger8824 what about the scene where the kid died from snakes and insects you must have had some balls to think thats tame

mistermyers777 thanks for the sub!

Thanks!

I know So many people Hate it, but personally I like Resurrection. It was the First "Halloween" I watched the most as a child and eventually I would've seen the original. but it was the one that kind of introduced me to the Halloween Series as a whole and John Carpenter's films. As I see It, its superbly bad,but watchable. I just don't see many people defending it. Not One.

I didn't hate Resurrection either. I enjoyed how they poked fun at Reality TV, like MTV's Fear... which I loved. I also enjoyed the viewer commentary/watching party scenes as they mirrored watching bad horror films with your friends. Of course it ruined the ending of H20, so it probably would have been better as a stand alone film or a sequel to a different slasher film.

FiercelyGold LOL on the viewers mirroring real audience watching bad horror films. Personally I didn't love all of H20. It was a better sequel, I found it mediocre. The best parts of the film was the focus of Laurie's character and her, I guess, PTSD if used in the correct way and the interactions with her real life mother Janet Leigh (psycho being one of my favorite films) and her facing off against Micheal. The ending was great too, but the bulk of the story was hit and miss for me. Not the Worst, but not the best and also I didn't mind Zombie's remake either.

Leaf Me Alone Which One?

+Jon Kline Thanks!

...And could have had its own sequels which puts to rest what was supposed to be the more marketable "Halloween III: "

262 more days 'til Halloween, Halloween, Halloween. 262 more days 'til Halloween. Silver Shamrock! :,(

LordHeath1972 thanks!

Shes also the operator voice on the phone

+Antonio Gonzalez Thanks so much! :)

Hipsters and the dude word lol, but yeah, I agree.

@@GoodBadFlicks 3 more months to Halloween...

+The Infomaniac Someone else who views 3 like I do... :)

I've liked it since the 80's.

and the one on the intercom telling people that the 6 PM curfew has begun.

Joshua Ragland that was in the video dummy

Chuck Schick I commented that before watching the whole thing.

this was not a review it was imdb facts the video

Sidenote...jamie Lee Curtis was also the voice on Escape from New York.

+Egores House That's what I said, but the other way around. XD

Hell yeah!

***** you're forgetting in the mouth of madness . that was pretty damn good!

That's a lot of insane people

great film but ellie being made into a robot that fast is impossible and no point still love the film also should have been cut out that bad effect of dans face melting away would have kept the long view and better have stonehenge fall on him

I'll agree on anthology route

@@girlyknight8817 great film flaws and all saw it back twice in 1982 still love it still dont like the ellie switch to fast and pointless just to have some more shocks at the end

@@gkroll8467 She had been asking around about her father, they were aware of her and had plenty of time to make a replacant of her.

dont agree even if you say its true she would have attacked even before then@@thorgrootsweetrabbit2244

Billy Wildman although now with the remakes in full swing, I think it is past the point where they would bring back the anthology aspect.

+Nazzlover38 The movie has more a right to be called Halloween than the Michael Meyers films.

:)

mathmoslover76 Yes, I agree this movie should be remade. With all the technology taking over our lives it is a perfect time for Halloween 3 again. The sky's the limit on what they could do....The Halloween 3 remake IS up next. Do we really need another Michael Myers movie anyway? I mean how many more times can they flog that horse? Carpenter should come back and make it and maybe we can get the anthologies like he originally planned...

+Aaron Alvarez Thank you! Always happy to have someone new on board :)

Agreed! :D Halloween H20 and Halloween III are my top 2 favorite movies of the franchise.

Josh Virgin it seemed like its biggest fault was it wasn't a Micheal Myers movie. Thankfully people have rediscovered it over the years

Cohcran > Michael.

It is a good good flick...LOL

I still think Halloween didn't need past Halloween II.

That's what most of these "Exploring ______" videos are.

Yeah, if video man likes a movie, he makes an "Exploring" video. If he regrettably likes a movie, he makes a "GoodBadFlicks" trademark stolen by the Amazing Atheist video. I just learned this yesterday because I've never heard of youtube.

How about a GoodGreatFlick?

I know,right?

i'm only replying here so future readers of this comment are warned - this film is absolutely terrible. just a crap film, let alone in the horror genre. and what the hell is it doing as a halloween sequel? has nothing to do with it. i kinda thought h3 might have been some shit that had no name so the studio called it halloween 3 so they could break even at the box office (even if it was shit and you tell someone its halloween the fans will always want to see for themselves so.... ) fyi do not pay a single penny for this film and save the 2hrs of your life for something worth while (make a cake, write a letter to your family or even read a book!)

guitarHero1885 have you even watched the video above??! I don't need your negative shit bring my energy down. Watch yourself man

k

The film isn't hated because of it's originality, it's hated because the marketing team chose to trick people into seeing it by acting like it was a follow-up to the previous movies rather than it's own thing.

+Jon Knight Seem to be seeing many comments that echo my own feelings... LOL! I saw SotW about 7 years ago too... I had never really bothered with Halloween at all much until then, and that Silver Shamrock Theme kept me awake for DAYS!!! Its a good one of movie... Not perfect but it is a good watch, I cannot believe how much hate it gets with people saying it has a stupid story - Yet they all defend Myers Constant Ressurections??? I am glad to see that there sensible people like yourself here

But the style and theme and homage is Halloween through and through! Like when the shady guys are watching people in the foreground of shots or driving by in cars at slow speed. Masks, the music, a Dr. going around investigating and trying to convince people of things. It is a Halloween movie and a good one. It should not be considered a black sheep.

TheTallMan35 Well there isn't really a witch, just a one line reference to witchcraft, so I guess it should just be called "Season".

Type40Tardis Cochran is the witch

leozam Well yeah, but it's never really made explicitly clear.

They tried to.

so true

AS:RG JC did not want a sequel period.

someone should ask Carpenter what Halloween 4 was going to be about. perhaps a script or treatment still exists somewhere.

@@nightmaretomb5294 It was supposed to be a ghost story.

Dustin Hoffman won two Oscars and complained he still had to fight for every film he got because he didn't look like a leading man

yup. it's so stupid.

Tom Atkins is a fucking sexy bitch.

Toby B au contrar good sir. atkins looks a lot like josh brolin whos had no problem getting lead roles

I did for 3 days lol.

Thanks! :)

Cillian Brouder Took the words right out of my mouth.

Halloween 4 is worth watching just for Kathleen Kinmont.

I was like, "What the Hell is wrong with these people?". (When I watched this as a kid.) Worse than the stories of razor blades in apples and poisoned candy on Halloween.

Michael Wolfe While I love this one, it is hard to top the original

kingv911 it really makes me happy to know this film found its audience :)

GoodBadFlicks Ha, me too! I get an odd sense of satisfaction when I see this movie getting kudos, or vintage HIII memorabilia going for big money on eBay or something. I know I'm not the only one who gets it!

kingv911 It was good just don't get its appreciation because MM was not the killer.

Thank you!
