Summary: Open your mind.....Halloween III is a classic!
Review: Let me start out by saying that I love Halloween 1 & 2. When it was time for Johm Carpenter and Debra Hill to make another Halloween film, they decided that the Michael Myers character was tired and played out. So they tried something new and fresh with Halloween 3: Season Of The Witch. Being a fan of horror, Carpenter's original idea was to release a new Halloween film every few years, each one with a totally new plot and original characters. His idea was to bring in new directors and serve as a producer for these original scary tales. Well the close-minded public couldn't accept a film with the Halloween heading and no Michael Myers, so the idea was scrapped. Well I used to ditch school to watch this on The Movie Channel in the 80's, so I guess you could say I like it. A sinister warlock that wants to kill thousands of children on Halloween night. Robotic killers that can pull your head right off your shoulders. Masks that use the power of Stonehenge and ancient witchcraft to turn brains into snakes, beetles and millipedes. No way a movie like this would be made today! It almost became "trendy" to bash this film when I was in high school. Now I find more and more people defending it, especially with all the REALLY bad horror sequels that are coming out these days. I'm off to pick up my Silver Shamrock mask...Later!

Summary: eight more days to halloween silver shamrock
Review: this was a cool movie, it had nothing to do with the others but it was good, imagine having you're kids buying halloween masks that kills you're kid, the only thing about this film is how the hell many times do they play that song.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Such A Mistake!
Review: First of all, I'm gonna go right ahead and say that there is no need for this movie. There is also no need for anyone to waste their money and precious time by watching it. It is so incredibly bad. It's not even fun,entertaining bad. It is so cheesey it's unbelieveable. The acting is of the most horrid caliber and the script is [bad]. They were trying something different with this movie, but it was just too bad that something different didn't translate into something good. ...There's nothing to get. You could watch this movie ten times and it would only get worse ...with each viewing. ... This movie doesn't say or explain anything. It's a mess that goes nowhere....

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: High-Tech Terrorism
Review: Physician Tom Atkins witnesses one of his patients brutally murdered by an emotionless and extremely powerful killer, who afterward sets fire to himself. The victim was a delirious man off the street, clutching a halloween mask and raving something about a horrible plot about to occur on Halloween night. Atkins and the victim's daughter, Stacy Nelligan, want to find out what is going on, and follow their only clue - the mask, manufactured by toymaker Dan O'Herlihy. Atkins and Nelligan take a little tour of O'Herlihy's plant, and uncover an insidious terrorist plot to murder millions of innocent children on Halloween night...

This is one of the most original horror movies ever made, playing more like a spy story than anything else - if it were packaged slightly differently, with the alteration of only one or two elements, it could have been in the James Bond series. John Carpenter and Alan Howarth's electronic score is more effective for this entry than any of their other Halloween movies, owing to the high-tech nature of the plot, which is sci-fi/horror at its finest. Nelligan is mostly around for the scenery, though she is fine in her role, Atkins makes a believably reluctant hero, and O'Herlihy is simply superb.

The only flaws in this film are that it is uneven and that it suffers an excess of gore, though the gore is admittedly quite effective. It also includes one truly gratuitous murder scene involving a power drill that simply doesn't work - in fact, it kills the momentum of the plot, at that particular point in the story. The clever script was the work of veteran British horror screenwriter Nigel Kneale (author of the excellent Quatermass series), who had his name removed from the credits.

This is altogether a highly original non-sequel, and grossly underrated.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hasn't anyone got it yet!?!
Review: I liked this movie, not because it was a break from the originals but because it was what defined the series. Most people who criticize this movie obviously did not watch it several times over to get the whole point of it! The first 2 movies never truly explained what the curse of Michael Myers was and how it came about! Nor did they emphasize on the history of Samhain like this one did! This movie attempts to explain that and Halloween 6 (Curse Of Micheal Myers) finishes it up! Try to read more into a movie, people, and not be so quick to judge!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Really Super!!!! Really Scarey!
Review: This is not part of the Halloween Series. I don't know why they call it Halloween 3.
It's supernatural and super creep-a-rific!
Good Flick for the kiddies to watch before they go trick-or-treatin'...! ESPECIALLY if they're gonna wear Silver Shamrock Masks this year!!!!!
The Silver Shamrock jingle is hypnotic and will stick with you for YEARS!!!!

YOU MUST SEE THIS FILM!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The award of worst movie of the century goes to...
Review: This movie was okay. I have it 1 star because it lacked in suspense and acting. I am sure people would have liked it better if it never had anything to do with Halloween and it was an independent movie! But no, the stupid writters had to install this horrible peice of junk. The only reason i have this movie is because I want to have all the Halloweens. But I want to actually watch Girlfriends or Ally McBeal while I am watching this. I did not like it. BORING !!!!

I advise you carefully, watch Halloween 4 instead.

I advice

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Gruesome...
Review: Well, you won't see Michael Myers in this sequel, but it's still watchable.
An evil maker somewhere in Northern California provides young children with devilishly made pumpkin masks... need I say more.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Why??
Review: ... As a horror movie buff, I can honestly say that this is about as bad as it gets. There is absolutely no entertaining value whatsoever to this garbage.
