Title: Exploring Halloween 3 Post by: AoTFan on October 18, 2018, 10:04:35 PM So, it's the "odd man out" of the Halloween series, but if you examine it on it's own merits, it's a pretty decent horror film.
Cecil from Good Bad Flicks does a pretty neat "exploring" video here, giving some interesting trivia and background info. !

That was more disturbing than the other Halloween movies as it was less predictable than a lumbering maniac who was going to whittle down a group of teens.
Title: Re: Exploring Halloween 3 Post by: Alex on October 19, 2018, 05:22:34 AM The idea behind the Halloween movies was that they would be a series of unconnected horror movies (other than that they were set around Halloween obviously), sort of like a feature length Twilight Zone. The idea was abandoned however after the third movie tanked and they went back to Michael Myers.

I thought it was a great film and yeah, the Twilight Zone concept would have been an interesting path to go down. Instead of the repetitive crap sequels we got. Title: Re: Exploring Halloween 3 Post by: FatFreddysCat on October 19, 2018, 09:44:13 AM I really, genuinely like Halloween III a lot, and have since I first saw it on TV in the mid 80s. In fact, it's just about the only Halloween movie that I'm not terminally sick of.

I think in order for the Halloween series to be the anthology series it was intended to be, Season of the Witch needed to be the second movie in the franchise-not the third. Having the sequel still be a Michael Meyers story probably solidified in people's minds that this was his series. (Even though Halloween 2 ended with what seemed a definitive death for the character) Halloween could have been the Michael Myers movie. Halloween 2 should have been Season of the Witch , Halloween 3 could have been something completely different, like say Attack of the Killer Jack o' Lanterns.
