Summary: Halloween 3, not too shabby
Review: It was a pretty good ovie, if you know what to expect. It is a cheezy horror movie, but that's what I liked about it.

Summary: This movie doesn't even deserve 1 star
Review: If I had just one question to ask director John Carpenter it would have to be "what were you thinking when you made Halloween 3: Season of the Witch?". That movie is so bad, it almost makes "Gigli" and "Ishtar" look like Masterpiece Theater. I was briefly watching this on the AMC's Monsterfest last night. Needless to say I couldn't finish watching it. Not because it was scary but the writing and the acting was horrible. Tom Atkins puts in one of his cheesiest performances, next to "Night of the Creeps" (at least that movie was entertaining in a velveeta sort of way). Stacy Nelkin wasn't any better. Dan O'Herlihy...needless to say his performance in the film didn't exactly set off his film career. What is a Halloween movie without that psychotic serial killer Michael Myers? I found the whole plotline of a bunch of robots attempting to 'punish' kids for ruining Halloween. That music that was used to kill kids when they wore those masks was without a doubt annoying. Thank heavens for the mute button. I will never understand how this movie got greenlighted by the movie studio execs. As bad as the last two Halloween flicks were (H2O and Resurrection), at least they had the big bad wolf Michael Myers in them. He made the Halloween series what it is today, not to mention the whole horror genre. I so not recommend this money. Renting is not worth the money to see this turkey of a movie.

Summary: This should be issued with an apology
Review: This movie should be listed under "The Road to Hell is Paved in Good Intentions" lable. I realize that John Carpenter wanted to try something new and different with his series, but this wasn't the thing to try. The story line is rock bottom pitiful, about a toy company that makes Halloween mask that implode and crush the child's skull, it very disturbing and TOO mean spirted for my taste. Tom Atkins, who is a kind of B movie favorite, trys to make his role properly heroic, but it just dosn't work. Also the idea of the technology and magick working that well together is also far fetched. The old man at the toy comapany, Dan 'O Herlihy, plays it borderline, almost over the top (should have played it that way) but still restrained, so his proformance was just blah. The doctor's side kick, Stacy Nelkin, is just there, cardboard with a heart beat. I'm sorry, it's just hard to drum up support for this garbage.

Summary: Why?... Why?
Review: How they could call this movie "Haloween" I don't know. I understand that was Carpenters Idea, but it was stupid. Micheal Myers is the coolest horror movie killer I can think of, and calling this a sequal to #1, and 2 is an insult to the movies. It wasn't even that scary, and the plot was horrible, even worst than Nightmare on Elm Street, and that is saying something. The only thing I can think of that is good is the director, but he made a terrible mistake with this movie. So I give it a 1 star. For that one factor. People may say this movie is okay and stuff. But a horror movie that has nothing to do with it's prequels, that's not scary almost at all, has a horrible plot, and is just plain stupid, is not worth calling what it is. Dont watch this movie. Maybe, maybe rent it just to see why it is such a bad movie, and then you can tell all your friends that you just saw a horrible movie. Well, that's all I have to say.

Summary: Worst Movie Ever!!!!
Review: I think I speak for a lot of people, damn near everybody when I say, this is the worst movie ever made. You're basically waisting 2 hours of your life watching this pathetic showing of images, it breaks my heart that this film has to be assiocated with Carpenter, becuase he produced it. I just wish they would make this film become OOP and replace it with our hero Michael Myers in a prequel. I can go on & on about the cons of this film, but I won't. I think I made my point crystal clear....DON'T BUY THIS MOVIE! DON'T EVEN RENT IT! IF EVERY CHANNEL ON YOUR TV WENT OUT AND THE ONLY MOVIE/SHOW THAT WAS ON WAS H3, STILL DON'T WATCH IT. I'm serious it's that bad. Since I have no choice to rate this movie I gave it 1 star, but it deserves none.

Summary: No more complaining!!
Review: For all you horror fans out there, no more complaining! Yes this entry doesn't have Michael Myers in it, but remember, he died in HALLOWEEN II!! Unquestionably! SInce he was killed and tired of the Michael formula, producers John Carpenter and Debra Hill decided to tale a new approach on the Halloween franchise. The original plan was to release a Halloween film eveery few years that had completely different stories and had different characters. Since the movie audiences were too bull headed to take this idea, the film failed. Maybe audiences would have accepted tis movie better wothout the "III" in the title, such as HALLOWEEN: SEASON OF THE WITCH, suffesting mabybe that this isn't a direct sequel to the original gruesome twosome. Tommy Lee Wallace, John Carpenter's #1 man on my of his earlier films, this time gets to dig his teeth into both directing and writing this picture, and he comes out with a very unique story. You can tell he has worked under Carpenter before,b ecause this film FEELS like a Carpenter film, which is a plus for John Carpnter fans (like me!) WIth the help of Carpenters very eerie score, this movie moves right along as it follows Tom Atkins (WHom you might recall from The Fog and Escape From New York) as he uncovre a sinister plot ot kill unsuspecting kids on Halloween with deadly halloween masks triggered by an ultra annoying telivision commercial. Overall I enjoyed this film, with only some minor complaints. What wasnj't explained and I didn't get was why the childrens heads burst into bugs and snakes when they viewed the telivision commercial that triggers their deadly masks. Why not have their heads explode or somehting else, because the bugs made no sense, but this easily forgiven. I give Tommy Lee Wallace thumbs up with this effort, an effort that every Carpenter fan should like. As most of you know, this is the last entry Carpenter had anything to do with. I have even read that he has admitted to never seeing the sequels past this entry, and to me, that's a smart move.

Summary: Highly Underrated
Review: The majority of the people who don't like this film simply can't just get past the fact that this is a break from the Halloween Series plot and that Michael Myers is not in it. Now, granted, I do think it would have made more sense to simply call this movie Season Of The Witch and leave Michael Myers for the Halloween movies. However, if you can look past that, this is a great film. It does have its cheesy 80s aspects, but it's an interesting plot that will make you think and have many questions going through your mind even after the film ends. This movie would be considered a masterpiece if people were able to just get past the fact that this is NOT a Michael Myers movie.As for the DVD itself, I originally had the out of print Goodtimes release but sold it for the new Universal version and I'd say its a slightly better change. The picture quality is a tad better and as for the sound it's deffinatley an obvious improvement. However, no special features at all, not even a theatrical trailer as originally promised. I guess that's why its a cheap price. Oh well; I would have loved to have seen some features on this new release but it's still well worth the money. So for those that are yet to see this movie, I suggest you check it out and watch it with a completly open mind. Chances are you will like it because it's a shockingly well made film.

Summary: Excellent campy horror film
Review: They were right to try something new and I wish they would have continued to change the series through the years. After the first two Halloween films the Michael Myers character was pretty much played out, as proven with all of the less than enjoyable films since. Like the other reviewers have said...forget about the Michael Myers character and just enjoy the film for what it is, it's own movie. Great stuff!
