Summary: beyond horrible
Review: This is THE WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN! Seriously! The original Halloween is great, but this movie... ugh! I'm someone who usually enjoys cheesy low budget pictures as long as they are amusing. This movie seems like it would be amusing: the story involves killer robots and a mad scientist who wants to kill everyone on halloween. But it is far from amusing. It is extremely bad. Not bad in a goofy way, but bad in a nasty, unpleasant way. It is needlessly and excessivly gory, it has nothing to do with the rest of the series, and the guy who plays the hero looks like a gorilla. There are no words that would describe how horrible it is. To find out, you have to watch it for yourself - but please, don't! You will regret it for the rest of your life.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Okay Movie, Horrible Cover
Review: I'm not going to bother reviewing this movie, because everyone's seen it. My gripe is, why do they keep changing great box covers on horror movies? The original cover to this movie was truly one of the creepiest I've ever seen, and now it just looks stupid. The same thing was done to Halloween 2 and Children of the Corn. The thing that gets me is, the original covers were just like the original movie posters, so why go and change them? Maybe it's for the same reason that they can't make a good horror movie anymore, they're just incompetent.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: On Silver Shamrock: misunderstood or morbid
Review: Here is my rant regarding all of the criticism - and it has been a lot recently, hasn't it? - directed toward the maligned Halloween III: Season of the Witch: Hogwash! The movie is not an epic. But the main thrust of the film still "works" despite the absence of Myers, eternal villain. I have argued in my thesis that the Silver Shamrock theme rescues the film, lifting it to the level of "a very good horror flick" while not compromising its hardened slasher-flick mentality. It compares favorably to Friday the 13th Part V, a black sheep sibling of the original version. If nothing else, it surpasses Jaws III, which clearly was a flop but at least still had the damn shark. I watch Season of the Witch every couple months and still, on rainy days as Halloween approaches, find myself - in a fast food restaurant, bank or library - pulling out a mask and singing the harmonious, melodic Silver Shamrock jingle. And I must say, it usually does not take long before a passerby points out, "Hey, that tune is from Halloween III: Season of the Witch. I love that, dude." And I say, "Thank you, dude." To balance this critique, I respectfully offer the following suggestion that would have elevated the movie - Myers be damned - to the rarefied heights of a Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Leprechaun 3: They should have casted a young Meg Ryan. Why not, right? The talented actress appeared in Amityville 3: It's about time (a film that provokes vomiting with astonishing success, but that's another story for another day), and may have been willing to star in Season of the Witch. I honestly do not know, it should be noted, but people vastly familiar with early 1980s gore movies and habits have told me in confidence that she may or may not have agreed to "be in it" depending upon whether she was or was not asked and by whom. What's more, Ryan clearly would have been a natural progression after Curtis' post-Part Two vanishing act. The avalanche of criticism recently aimed at Season of the Witch speaks more to a lack of appreciation for Silver Shamrock and the spellbinding horror the tune creates. In any case, to conclude: I don't need Myers to spark sensations of fear and anxiety down my spine or pelvic region. This, The Season of the Witch, is "a very good horror flick" that succeeds in spite of, or perhaps because of, Myers' absence.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Without Michael Myers Is That Bad?
Review: The awnser to my question is no. This movie did really good without the Myers character. When we last see Michael he perished in flames at the hospital at the end of Halloween 2. The storyline for this entry of the Halloween series unlike the other ones has a real clever story. This takes place all around United States around Halloween where a company called Silver Shamrock is brainwashing kids to where halloween masks that have chips in them when a commerical by them comes on around Halloween then would deform the children. I enjoyed this film. The acting was good, the story was great, and the gore was pretty good too. The reason of a Michael myers not being in this one is that writer/director in the producer in this one John Carpentar wanted something new. Unfortunately didnt do so well at the theatres. I liked this movie but I think they shouldve just called it Season of the Witch instead of making it a part of the Halloween series. Maybe that would've made it better in the box office.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Stay away from this misleading Halloween sequel!
Review: Halloween 3 - Season Of The Witch is by far the worst in the series, a truly painful experience, which has nothing to do with Michael Myers or anything else that happenes in the Halloween series. They should have just called it Season of the Witch instead. The plot revolves around an evil toymaker who plans on killing children through their Halloween masks. The acting was awful and the storyline was boring. The special effects are incredibly lame, and the commercial Silver Shamrock tune becomes more irritating than anything else. This movie is terrible and it wasn't scary at all. It shouldn't have even been connected to the original Halloween whatsoever. Avoid at all costs!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Erm...Sucked
Review: This movie had NOTHING to do w/ the story line of "Halloween". I'm sorry but if your going to make a sequel to a film, atleast stick w/ the STORYLINE.

No Michael Myers and if my memory serves me right, I think Michael Myers was the main character in the series. I personally think the sequels should of died off after Halloween 2, but that's just me.

I suppose the storyline was "OK" but a bit too predictable when you start getting torwards the middle, atleast too me it was. The only thing I liked about the film was the annoying adverisement for the masks.. I think they spent too much time on that and not enough time on the storyline... It got boring after a while...

Not worth buying or renting, I may add. If you want to see it, wait until it comes on telly and watch it then, that's just my opinion of course...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: good but not great
Review: i saw it no myers a bit slow but it is quite good why did they call it halloween 3 not just season of the witch

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: HORRIBLE!
Review: This is unbelievably horrible! This movie dosen't even have anything to do with Michael Myers. Why would anyone keep the name "Halloween" and make it about some man making mask??? If you like boring, and disappointing movies this is the movie to see. It has an ok story but they could have used a different title.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Why did they make this film
Review: No Donald Pleasence,no Michael Myers,no point at all.The weakest of the series.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: This franchise needs a good kick in the [bottom]
Review: - Tough, not really a Halloween movie, this movie stunk. Im not giving the movie a bad rank because it doesnt follow the Michael Myers' plot. I really dont care about that. This movie is a "pod" movie. But, the storyline was incredible bad, and the acting follows that pattern. Some neat scenes forces me not to give this movie a 1 star...
