Halloween III Season of the Witch Review

Buy Halloween III on Amazon via my referral link: amzn.to/2LuPIb5
Halloween III is the one movie of the Halloween franchise to have nothing to do with Michael Myers. It's a horror tale about a plot to.. actually describing it might trigger the algorithm. Dangit... anyway! Without Michael, it's considered not only the worst Halloween movie but possibly the worst movie of all time. But is it really?

[@CthulhuChow]

bad marketing killed this film. you would have thought someone would've let the gen audience know it was part of an anthology series. i quite enjoy it as it's own thing.

[@TooCooFoYou]

CthulhuChow The ads could've had something like: "On Halloween 1978, Michael terrorized Haddonfield. This year, a new terror arrives. From John Carpenter, the director of Halloween comes a new chapter in the anthology series... Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Have it take place in Haddonfield and make the audience believe the town is cursed just like how Stephen King's stories always take place in Maine.

[@TheFlipped1]

I still would have liked to have seen where the series would have went if they had kept going with different stories.

[@360whiplash]

For some reason the third film is my favorite one of the series. It just had a creepy atmosphere and theme music and much gorier death scenes. There's only so many times that you can watch a masked killer slashing his victims with a knife before that act gets old.

[@JQXJQ]

I agree. It's weird, creepy, has great effects, everything I want from a horror movie. I like that they took chances rather than make another slasher movie that, atleast now, has been done to death.

[@varanid9]

It was good, but I wouldn't call it one of a series as it was stand alone. Try the late '50s Hammer film "Enemy from Space" A.K.A. "Quatermass II" if you want to see a sci-fi version of the same theme, written by the same script writer.

[@steviegilliam5685]

I liked the movie

[@mrkipling2201]

This is a great film, very underrated and misunderstood.

[@intertubicular]

Agreed. It however was not meant to be a Michael Myers movie but had nods to Halloween. If the movie was simply named "Season of The Witch" it would have been received much better. It's a great movie but poor advertisement that linked it to Halloween at its release. This really hurt it. Halloween Season of the Witch turned out to be a classic in its own right anyways.

[@PancakesAndHammers2426]

I actually kinda enjoyed this movie. Was hoping they would make more like this. I didn't take this movie too seriously when I first saw it and I didn't compare it to the other two Halloween movies. That would be foolish.

I think it's funny how my perception of this movie has changed over time. As a preteen I refused to watch it because I knew it didn't have Michael Myers. Years later as a teenager I would end up seeing bits and pieces of it on TV and ended up enjoying what I saw, so I rented it and watch the entire movie and loved it. As an adult it's incredibly cheesy but still has a level of Awesomeness to it.

[@brianmoney410]

First video of yours I have watched. From your in-movie commentary I thought you were going to hammer it but I think your assessment was fair. I am actually a huge fan and rewatch quite often. I think the soundtrack does an outstanding job of creating the dread that you mention throughout. I actually play the soundtrack (along with H2018) all the time while I am working. The movie's premise is very unique and the uncertainty of resolution at the end was a great way to handle it. Also, I thought the deaths were actually great. The effects were good enough and they weren't of the standard stab variety that was so common at the time. Appreciate your entertaining content.

I honestly like Halloween III, and I'm glad its become more popular in recent years...I kinda wish Carpenter's plan of turning Halloween into an anthology series had worked out, seems like there'd be so many more storytelling possibilities with a setup like that. Oh well, at least Michael Dougherty gave us Trick R Treat decades later, and here's to hoping the upcoming Halloween reboot/sequel will be worth the effort of reviving Myers once again (certainly helps that they got Carpenter back to handle things once again).

A running gag could be him calling his wife to tell her about whatever dastardly Irish conspiracy (why not, it's never been done) he's trying to stop, but everytime she just thinks he's drunk and yells GO TO HELL before hanging up. Possible one liners: "Prognosis...not good" "FLATLINE" "Your results show a mineral deficiency. My prescription? Lead supplement." "I think I shoulda married you, (BLANK)" "Time for a little...*click click*...MALPRACTICE." "I'll have to take your vitals...*click click* PERMANENTLY."

What's with the Stonehenge and the bugs and why is conal doing it in the first place

[@brendanforester4601]

1. The stone is used for part of their druidic rituals. 2. Witchcraft spawned the snakes and such to kill people around those who die from the masks. 3. Conal's motive is a mass human sacrifice for the ancient pagan festival of Samhain (s-ow-un) from which Halloween is derived.

[@wd3185]

Honestly, I still don't like this movie. Call me weak all you want, but I just don't like killing off really young and innocent kids in horror movies. Aside from that, the plot just tries to get me to accept a little bit more bullshit than I'm willing to. It having nothing to do with Michael Myers isn't even a problem for me.

[@Hauptseite]

I feel that's a bit strange. Are you saying that if the kid that died in that scene was just four arbitrary years older (he was exactly twelve at the time of this movie), it would suddenly be totally fine to watch his head ooze out creepy crawlies? It's totally okay to kill off innocent old, middle aged, young adult and teenage people? I get that children (especially babies) are seen rightfully as especially helpless, but thinking logically here, plenty of horror movies are designed specifically to watch people that are less powerful and more helpless than the killer get killed. A *big* part of legitimate horror is the genuine feeling of peril the protagonist and supporting characters are subjected to, and though some horror movies are designed to be entertaining and fun, other ones aren't meant for that. They're specifically meant to make you horrified. They're dealing with the subject of murder and death. I mean look at A Nightmare on Elm Street. Practically nobody stands even a tiny bit of a chance of surviving against Krueger. It's terribly unfair and just because someone _has premarital sex_ or smoked a little weed then they are worthy of slaughter? That's a warped justification for thinking it's okay for someone to die, but people seem to mention it a lot when discussing horror movies. Obviously it's just a movie and some of my favorite slasher flicks just have all sorts of innocent deaths like Friday the 13th: Part VI, but this critique comes off as a bit nonsensical just because it happened to make someone uncomfortable. I mean, that is the entire point of the horror genre - to get under your skin. Is it not? There's a few other rather good horror stories and films that have kids die in them. Stephen King's IT comes to mind. Even R.L. Stine didn't shy away from a child death every once and a while and his stuff was generally campy fun and made specifically for kids.
