Summary: A trick, no treats!
Review: No Michael Myers, No point!

This film is totally oblivious to the original series as this should not really be titled as a halloween sequel. It may have worked better if it had just been called SEASON OF THE WITCH minus the halloween 3 title. I'm collecting all the halloween films, but I will leave this one out. Very unimpressive. Fans will be dissapointed.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A shame, a crying shame.
Review: The producers of Halloween 1 and 2 Debra Hill and John Carpenter decided at the time since Michael Myers was killed off they should try a different idea. How wrong they were to do that. At the time the cinemas and theatres worldwide were crowded with obsessive horror fans expecting to see their idol, their hero, Michael Myers return once more. Unfortunately what they saw was entirely different. Conan Carloch an evil toymaker has a plan; to murder millions of children with halloween masks that seem to take on a life of their own. It is up to somebody to put a stop to it. This film bombed big time at the box office much to Carpenter's and Hill's disapointment. What they needed to do was to bring back Michael and that is exactly what they did in Halloween 4:The Return of Michael Myers which saved Carpenter's career from turning into a crying shame. This film may have done ok if the title had been penned differently but other than this a terrible film, with bad acting and a silly idea overall. I wouldn't recommend it to any horror fan whatsoever.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: The odd one out of the Halloween series
Review: If your expecting Michael Myers, Donald Pleasance or Jamie Lee Curtis, then this is not the film for you. It really does not belong alongside the others and just cashes in on the fame the original achieved. As a horror film aside from the Halloween series it is quite novel with an intreresting idea for a plot, even if it was a bit slow at first.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The worst movie of all time.
Review: How many movies have come out since the very first reel was ever produced? Four thousand? Five thousand? A million? Who knows. All I know is that Halloween 3 has got to be the worst out of each and every single film ever produced by the hands of man. I've seen some pretty bad movies (8MM, Godzilla, the new Psycho) and this one takes the cake. It's a stupid, contrived plot about these masks that eat little kid's heads. Sound cool? Yeah, well don't judge a book by it's cover. Michael Myers wasn't even in this one and should not have been titled "Halloween." They should have called this movie "Wild Wild Waste." I must have switched like 20 positions while watching this garbage, I was so uncomfortably bored. Do yourself a big favor and rent some good and original horror movies like the original Halloween, original Psycho, or the new (but controversial) Blair Witch Project.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This Movie Sucks!
Review: I wanted to review this movie because I hated it. I watched it a long time ago and care not to see it again. This movie may have been OK if it wasn't part of the Halloween series. In fact, when I think of the Halloween series, I count III out. I think of 1,2,4,5,6,H20. It had nothing to do with Michael Myers and should have been named something original and not be concidered a part of the series. Now if it wasn't part of the Halloween series, just an independant movie, I'd rate this movie maybe a 2 star.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Absolute Rubbish
Review: No Michael Myers this time. Just about some evil toy maker that has a plan to kill the population of small kids in America on halloween using lethal halloween masks. No relation to the first two halloween movies, a complete waste of time.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: alright movie
Review: this was cool but it didnt have michael in it. though he wasn't in it it was better than halloween 6, a hell of alot better

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Halloween III is....different
Review: "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" is a different side of the "Halloween" series. Sure, it doesn't have Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasence or killer Michael Myers in it, but it stands alone as a creepy film. The plot introduces us to druid warlock Conal Cochran (Dan O'Herlihy), who plans to kill millions of children with his rigged Halloween masks. Dr. Dan Challis (Tom Atkins) and Ellie Grimbridge (Stacy Nelkin) stumble on the plan and travel to the small town of Santa Mira to try to stop the killer scheme. This one has robots wearing suits, bugs and snakes spewing out a kid's head, a nice scene where a man's head is literally ripped off his body and Stonehenge! Although it seemed like a good idea to John Carpenter and Debra Hill, "Halloween III" bombed big time at the box office in 1982 cause people were expecting Michael Myers to be seen. The only time he is seem is briefly during a commercial for the original Halloween. The acting is decent, the music is creepy, but some sequences are gross. (Ala the kid's head spewing bugs and snakes) "Halloween III" is actually a good film, if it isn't compared so much to the other ones.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Be sure to wear your Masks!
Review: This movie is entirely underrated. I will admit the first HalloweeN is the best, but if you knew III didn't have Mr. Myers in it and watched it then, then you should be more pleased with the film. I film that makes you think 'what if this could really happen?' I give it five stars for some of the cinematography. I like the scene after the boy's face explodes with snakes and such, and Tom Atkins is watching then it fades to black...... then you hear do dah do dah do dah do dah HAPPY HAPPY HALLOWEEN....... And it shows kids from all states buying those dreaded masks! A must see!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: They could have made it good!
Review: I dont even feel like watching it again and seeing if I liked it the second time around. It was very hard for me not to turn it off the first time. I dont look forward to buying the DVD. In fact make it Zero Stars.
