Summary: "Halloween 3" Includes Some Nice Surprises!!
Review: "Halloween 3: Season of the Witch" is the 3rd of the "Halloween" Series. Even though it does not include the popluar "Michael Myers" character and has a very different storyline with different characters, I still thought that is was a good movie and worth the watch. I have read many of the reviews on Amazon about this film and alot of people complain that this "Michael Myers" character is not in the film and that it has nothing to do with the 2 other films before this. Well, I do not think this horror film had to include a certain character to be liked or to be popular. Even if the film did not have anything to do with the "Halloween" or "Halloween 2" storyline, or included some white-masked killer, it was still a good film and I really did not care if Michael Myers was in the film or not. I just focused on the acting and the storyline. Daniel Challis (Tom Atkins) becomes very suspicious after Ellie Grimbridge's (Stacy Nelkin) father suddenly comes into the hospital acting all "Crazy" ans suddenly dies of murder. Daniel and Ellie travel to a small California town called Santa Mira (Where her father was talking about minutes before his death) where they produce Halloween masks that they later find out and program to kill anyone who wheres them after watching some show at 9:00 Halloween Night! Will Daniel and Ellie stop the company in time? Just watch and find out!!!

Summary: Different, granted, but not at all bad.
Review: "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" is, I'd have to say, the most under-rated of the Halloween films. It gets it's bad reputation because it's the only film in the series that does not feature Michael Myers prominently (he is actually seen in the movie during a scene at a bar when a commercial for a broadcast of the original film comes on a T.V.). Basically, this one centers around a mysterious Halloween mask production company's plot to kill all the children in the United States by planting small metallic devices inside the rubber masks that, when worn by the children during a special T.V. broadcast on Halloween night, will cause them to die a rather gruesome death via the excretion of snakes and other creepy crawlies from inside their bodies. It's up to a man and his female partner to unlock the company's sinister secrets and bring it their evil plans to a halt before it's too late. I know, sounds a little off-beat, but who cares. For anyone who is willing to look past the absence of Michael Myers and appreciate this film for what it is, I highly recommend you watch this one. It's not on T.V. that often, so you'll probably have to either rent it or buy it. If you're a die-hard fan of the series and don't have this in your video collection yet, I would encourage you to purchase it. However, if you're only a moderate fan I'd say rent it first. Even if you're not a fan of the series but like horror/sci-fi films (this one has a little bit from both genres) in general, I definitely encourage you to give this one a shot. P.S. For those who still continue to wonder why Carpenter went this route for the third installment, the answer is simple. When "Halloween II" came out critics constantly bashed the film by saying that it was too much like the first one. Listening to the critics, John and the rest of the people behind "III" decided to make it a completely different film. The moral to the story, if you get what you asked for and still aren't happy, just shut up. Unfortunately, though, critics never seem to be able to shup up.

Summary: "NOT WORTH THE TIME~"
Review: This movie has nothing to do with HALLOWEEN 1 and 2 it is a dumb plot with dump special effects. They shouldn't have named this Haloween 3 it screwed up the whole series. Don't bother seeing this if your a horror buff (like me) but if you like watching dumb movies for 99 minutes give it a try. If you want to see the horror masked pyscho killer again I RECCOMEND: Holloween 4

Summary: "Watch the magic pumpkin!"
Review: I feel I must defend this movie, even though I'm sure mine isn't the popular opinion in this case. I fondly recall seeing it in the theater when I was 7 years old, in 1982, and remember loving it even then. Sure, the plot has nothing to do with the original Halloween and its many sequels (as has been repeated here ad nauseum), but it's a charming little standalone film and deserves better reviews than it's been getting here! If this movie was not called "Halloween III" and had nothing to do with the Halloween franchise, would the reviews still be so bad? Possibly, but looking at the movie on its own, I can honestly say I've seen a thousand times worse than this. Half the complaints I see are that there's no Michael Meyers, Laurie Strode or Dr. Loomis in it... so what? The movie makes up for that with a decently creepy and unique plot, some rather disgusting scenes if you're even halfway squeamish, and some good old fashioned scenes where the not-so-jaded viewer might even jump. The movie is classic - "Eight more days till Halloween, Halloween, Halloween... Eight more days till Halloween, Silver Shamrock!" That song is incredibly catchy, memorable to the point where you might find yourself singing it a week later, and is horrific in itself, because it's basically a sugar-coated countdown to mass murder! Don't forget the scarily amusing kids on TV, bopping to the beat, in special masks... Not to mention the bugs - perhaps I'm biased, as the only things that EVER affect me in horror movies are bugs... ugh. At any rate, I tend to think of this movie as at least one of my top 25 favorite horror movies of the 1980's. It can be cheesy, but in the best way possible, and I know I'd certainly choose to watch this over some of the rather dismal, trendy 90's "horror" movies, which have unfortunately gotten MUCH better reviews. I guess it's really all a matter of taste. The movie never claimed to have Michael Meyers in it, so try not to feel so ripped off because you just assumed he'd be in it. If you watch the movie with an open mind, dim the lights and pop some popcorn, you might find that you'll actually enjoy it.

Summary: The best of the Halloween movies.
Review: No Michael Myers. No Jamie Lee Curtis. Totally differnt concept than the other Halloween films. Myself being a huge fan of most horror films, just never have thought much of Halloween. Michael Myers is a lame excuse for a killer. I'm glad this film has nothing to do with that. the movie itself is not that great, but it is better than many horror films, and is rather entertaining. This is a Halloween film for those that thought they didn't like the Halloween movies.

Summary: Drop the "Halloween III" title and you'll enjoy it!
Review: Hindsight, as we all know, is 20/20! In looking back on this movie, one can appreciate what producers John Carpenter and Debra Hill were trying to do with this film. The idea of turning the "Halloween" movies into more of an anthology series is novel indeed. However, we all know now what a disaster it turned into as fans of the first two were expecting more of the same. Perhaps if they just went with the subtitle, "Season of the Witch" it may have gotten more recognition. That said, I saw this film, knowing it had nothing to do with the previous entries and found myself enjoying it. It has all the suspense and atmosphere of the first two, but avoids the very tired "slasher" route all together. Tommy Lee Wallace does an admirable job on his first outing as director, setting up the plot nicely. Also, the widescreen DVD preserves Dean Cundey's magnificent cinematography to the hilt. The storyline pays homage to several Horror classics as "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", "The Stepford Wives" and even Carpenter's "Halloween". Tom Atkins (a veteran of several Carpenter films, most notably "The Fog") turns in a good performance as a highly unlikely hero, who just happens to be an alcholoic, womanizing dead-beat father of two! Atkins is joined by then newcomer Stacy Nelkin, who comes to him to help her discover the cause of her father's mysterious death. Their investigation leads them to a small town called Santa Mira (named after the town in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"), which is the home of Silver Shamrock, a manufacturing company that makes Halloween masks. Here they meet Conal Cochrane,played by Dan O'Herlihy ("Robocop"), who gives the film's best performance as a wealthy toymaker with a dark secret. As Atkins begins delving deeper into the mystery, Cochrane's horrifying secret is revealed. Silver Shamrock is producing masks that will, on Halloween night, kill millions of children around the country. While the film does have it's occasional plot holes and lapses of logic, it's certainly entertaining and remains a guilty pleasure of mine. For those "Halloween" fans who disdained the film for not continuing the "Michael Myers" story, I would say give it another viewing. It certainly doesn't compare to the original, but knowing after this the producers went back to the slasher format of the first two, five more times (with more to come I'm sure), there's no more reason to hold that excuse over this film. I'm glad to see others who have reviewed this have also come to the same conclusion. Looking back, this film is no where near as bad as it's reputed to be!

Summary: Utter Crap
Review: This marked the beginning of the end for the franchise. Very original idea, just plain fails. copies F13 part 1 by not having trademark killer in film. series becomes nothing more than a F13 ripoff as Myers tries to become like Jason. He has nothing on him as the next few Halloweens prove

Summary: I hated the ending
Review: The movie was okay at best. It definitely wasn't bad, but I don't think it could be classified as good either. First of all, don't be deceived by the title. The movie could just as easily be called Season of the Witch, without the Halloween in front. It has absolutely no involvement with Michael Myers, Laury Strode, Sam Loomis, or any of the Halloween gang. Second of all, don't think of it as a horror movie, although in the end, I guesss that's what it really is. Many parts of the movie seemed like they should be in an action movie, not a horror movie. And last of all, the ending is incredibly dismal. In some cases, I like macabre endings. But this is just too horrible for my taste. But despite all of the flaws I just listed, the movie was still okay. I suggest you watch it. You won't love it, but you'll probably enjoy yourself.

Summary: This is a very good, original flick
Review: So big deal, the movie does not feature Michael Meyers. This is still a very creepy horror film that does not get enough credit. At the time it was released, the special effects were pretty cool and the score adds plenty to the atmosphere. I definitely recommend this for someone who is in to horror.
