Summary: Sometimes late at night I can still hear the screaming
Review: Silver Shamrocks Halloween Halloween Halloween... (...) What is this! They took the wonder of Michael Myers cutting and slaying and made it into something evil. I still have nightmares just knowing a film this bad exists. I needed shock therapy to get over this very (...) film... I don't think it's the worst film of all time... But then again if anything could rival waiting to exhale in the bad movie stakes it would be this! They basically used the "Halloween" banner and put it on whatever (...) they were working on in order to make it a hit... I will curse this film until the day I die!!!

Review: Oh my God, have you seen this? This is so cool! This is not like the other "Halloween" movies, but it is still great. In this one, little kids' heads dissolve because they wear a Halloween mask and watch TV. You won't believe it!Get this and show it to your kids on the night before Halloween. Then give them some candy. Really. You'll love it!

Summary: 3 More Days Till Halloween
Review: Halloween 3 has to be one of the biggest blunders in horror cinema. It was a huge box office bomb and received critical bashing. Now, I'm not saying it was because it isn't a normal "Halloween" film that includes Michael Myers. It is just a pretty inept movie with a transparent and overdone storyline. An evil toy manufacturer(Dan 'O' Herlihy, who gives the film it's only interesting performance) plans on rigging his Halloween masks so that they will kill millions of innocent children on Halloween night. How nice!. Not that there aren't good things about it. The music is pretty creepy, and the acting is decently solid. But that's all this mistake of a film has going for it. Tom Atkins, who has become a horror figure himself in such films as the brilliant "The Fog", "Night Of The Creeps", and the action hit "Lethal Weapon", co-stars as a doctor who has stumbled upon this odd case when a man is murdered by a mysterious assailant in his hospital. He is then teamed up with the victim;s daughter, played by Stacy Nelkin. It's been ignored as not part of the "Halloween" series and should be. This movie is only for curious fans. They tried for something new, which is good, but it doesn't always mean that it's going to be good or necessary. This is not a very good movie. Ignore at all costs. We need John Carpenter again....and fast!!. There's nothing more frightening about Halloween than Halloween 3.

Summary: Simple, stupid, and a horrible movie!
Review: I cant believe they would disgrace such a good horror series with this piece! This film is a disgrace to film making and acting, well hell, really the whole movie industry. I cant not recommend this enough. I thought the film modern vampires was bad, but that makes modern vampires look like a movie gem! The writer of this hasnt made another movie since, and for good reason! He makes the rest of the horror writers & the HALLOWEEN movie series look horrible. I would recommend ANY of the other HALLOWEEN movies, but not this. And if you liked it, you couldnt know anything about movies, especially horror movies

Summary: No Michael Myers. No Jamie Lee Curtis. No Problem.
Review: Halloween 3 Season Of The Witch takes a very different twist to the series. It has absoloutley NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING to do with the first two that came before it, or the 5 that came after it. There is NO Michael Myers. There is NO Jamie Lee Curtis. There is NO Doneld Pleasance. There is NO Haddonfield. As long as you know all this, you'll propably enjoy this crazy entry. What we DO get in this is a weird plot that involves robots, killer masks, bugs, snakes, and a psycho TV commercial. The plot begins as we watch a man running down the streets, panting. A car is following him. Out of the car comes a man in a buisness suit, who tries to strangle the other man. This buisness suited man, however, gets crushed by a car (I won't say how), and the other guy runs off to a gas station, where he scares the daylights out of a worker. The worker takes him to a hospital, where he's put to the care of Dr. Dan Challis (Tom Atkins, The Fog, Lethal Weopon). This guy's raving about people trying to kill him, but the doctor thinks he's looney. In 10 minutes the man is dead, with a skull ripped open by another buisness suited man (Dick Warlock, the man who played Michael Myers in Halloween II). This here man proceeds to blow himself up in his car. Challis is very disturbed by this incident, and asks a friend of his to study the ashes. He is even more disturbed when he meets this dead mans daughter, Ellie Grimbridge (Stacie Nelkin). Together, they go and investigate the strange town of Santa Mira, where her father was last seen. They head out to the factory, Silver Shamrock Novelties, owned by creepy Conal Cochron (Dan O'Herily, Robocop 1 and 2), who makes the most popular masks in the world. It seems that every kid in town is wearing one of these masks on Halloween night, and at 9:00 they're all going to watch this "Big Give-Away" Cochron's putting on TV. What do you think Cochron's gonna do with this commercial? The answer is in this movie, a pretty strange one I must say. It was originally NOT a Halloween movie at all, but they added the title later, because John Carpenter and Debra Hill had a whole thing planned out for this series. They were going to make each movie different, like an episode of The Twilight Zone. But, this movie BOMBED at the box-office, causing Michael Myers to return in Part 4. Actually, I like this movie a lot. It's got a good, B-movie type story. Also, some of the performances are hilarious for how (perhaps purposefully) bad they are. Tom Atkins, Dan O' Herlihy, and Stacie Nelkin offer good performances, but oh-boy that Cuffer family was a set of the worst actors ever put on film!! It's hilarious! Most of the other actors (except that guy who owns the motel) are pretty good. Also, look for a small appearence in the third scene by Nancy Kyes/Loomis, who played Annie in Halloween 1 and 2. Here, she plays Challise's ex-wife, Linda. While the movie isn't related to the first and second, there's a lot of little pokes at those ones, most noticebly how Halloween is on TV in two scenes, and how Dick Warlock plays that assasin at the beggining. This Goodtimes DVD is nothing to exciting. The picture's very good, as is the sound. We haven't any extra features, not even a trailer, but, this is Goodtimes, remember? I'm sure if you're patient, this movie will come back out on DVD owned by Universal (just like Part 2). All in all, this movie's well worth a look, as long as you know what in for. If you found my review helpful, please be sure and vote for me! Thank you very much.

Summary: The best of the Halloween flicks, except maybe the first one
Review: A welcomed departure from the usual Halloween sequel. No Michael Myers here. Frankly, I would have preferred it if the series had continued along this route of a new and different story every time, with nothing in common except the holiday of Halloween. It's a shame that they went the way of Jason and Freddy. While this film is very dated and a little slow at times, there's a genuinely creepy feel, the conspiracy is GREAT, and the grim ending is what really makes the movie satisfying, in my opinion anyway. It was definitely worth the price too, as I picked it up for 5 bucks yesterday at the local Kmart, since I was anxious to watch something Halloweenish and the Worst Witch DVD release has been postponed for next year. What follows here is a synopsis for those who haven't seen it.
The film starts with a man, the owner of a small town general store, being murdered by some very strange men. The doctor at the hospital where he was killed thinks something is fishy, and so does the dead man's daughter. They discover that the murder victim was recently in a small town where a major Halloween mask factory exists. The doctor and the dead man's daughter go to the town together and investigate. What they find there is too sick to be believed. The owner of the mask factory is actually a satanist, and his masks are ticking time bombs of witch craft, just waiting to go off. On Halloween night, a special "giveaway" will take place on television, and as all the children gather around their TV's to watch, their masks will destroy them and anyone near them with a combination of technology and black magic. Throughout the film, commercials are running on every TV, playing the jingle/countdown of the evil mask company. To the tune of London Bridges Falling Down, the commercial would sing, "8 more days till Halloween, Halloween, Halloween. 8 more days till Halloween, Silver Shamrock!" It's a song that will stick with you for the rest of your life, whether you love this movie or hate it. Trust me. Definitely worth it for Halloween fun, but this is one of those DVD's with no extras.

Summary: Changes the story
Review: The main plot of this story is that a killer is trying to kill millions of kids by putting on his scary masks. But, it kind of ruins the Halloween series. What I mean is after you make a series, you never want to go off the subject. A Nightmare on Elm Street didn't, Friday the 13th didn't, and Hellraiser didn't.

Summary: Different
Review: If you are expecting to see Michael Myers roaming around you'll be disapointed because this film takes a side-trip from the other six movies. It tells the story of this man who uncovers a plot by some mask company that is made up of people who perform witchcraft. For what it was it was good. However It shouldn't have been given the name of "Halloween".
