The soundtrack to Halloween III was epic. It was like a mix of horror and "Escape from New York".

[@martinvegas1327]

John Carpenter is the master!

[@Buck3366]

The music from H3 was pretty much written at the same time as Christine which has a VERY similar soundtrack by Alan Howarth and John Carpenter.

[@danielrn133]

@@Buck3366 it is just amazing how the music can take a movie to the next level.

It’s getting more popular. HHN maze this year, H3 masks in the new movie. People are finally figuring out that it rocks almost 40 years later.

[@cjstats1514]

I think it's an underrated movie. But it gets hate bc it shouldn't be in the Halloween franchise. I know at the time, they were going in another direction w the franchise.

[@thewanderingfool4435]

100% agree, this is a very special movie and Tom Atkins is definitely is a BOSS.

[@joen8529]

Update: DAMN, looks like the HHN maze was just a rumor, and it was a Halloween 4 maze after all.

[@BiornBear]

It is truly sad that we are loosing so many historical horror landmarks. Movies we grew up watching and it’s eroding away or being torn down for mall’s and Starbucks. Wish we could go back just for a short time to relive GEN X glory days.

[@CuZn7030]

The reality is - a lot of these locations were around for decades without much attention. KZbin and social Media have regenerated a lot of the nostalgia for locations in general

This film is Iconic!! Tom Atkins is an absolute HORROR actor!!

[@Badgerden]

Indeed. I also remember him from Night of the Creeps.

[@Anthony_Spilotro]

Totally agree!

[@chrisalderson6335]

HALLOWEEN III WAS THE BEST HALLOWEEN MOVIE EVER! IT STANDS ON ITS OWN. WISH THEY WOULD'VE MADE MORE HALLOWEEN MOVIES LIKE THIS ONE. ONE FOR EACH YEAR IN OCTOBER WOULD'VE BEEN AWESOME.

[@rangerrecon]

I think that one of your greatest pieces of magic is what we don’t see on camera: the research, the talking to neighbors, owners, and other invested people to collect information and obtain permission for visitation, etc. for the 20 minutes we see on screen, there has to be a ridiculous amount of hours invested in research, production, post production, travel, etc. Thank you for this herculean effort and allowing us to live vicariously through your work.

[@southernbelladonna78]

Lots of folks dislike this movie, but it was always my favorite out of the lot!

[@thewanderingfool4435]

Tom Atkins is one of my all time favourite actors and it always pains me how under loved and underappreciated Halloween 3 Season of the Witch is a movie. This movie is a gem and one of the best horror movies ever made.

[@11Salda]

One of the things I love about this movie is the music

@@grimmlifecollective I never liked this movie when I was young. I was shocked to see a review on it. It’s probably worth a revisit. I recently watched Revenge of the Ninja. That movie is cheesy and badass! Good time. We grew up in the same era. I appreciate people that understand what I understand. Godspeed :)

This is my favorite Halloween movie! Many Halloween movie fans hate this one because it's a departure from the usual canon, which is probably why I like it. I never really got into the whole Michael Myers story. And you gotta love Dan O'Herlihy as the creepy and evil Cochran! Stacey Nelkin is pretty good eye candy too!

[@backwoodsbully9841]

Saw all of these in my small town movie theater as A young kid. Theater was closed down in 1998. Great memories.

[@SaintMartins]

When i watched this film back in 1982, my theory was perhaps the message being sent with Halloween 3 was that maybe Michael Myers was actually a serial killer "ROBOT" & that's why he was hard to kill in the first 2 films. This film was the explanation.

[@georgwagner5916]

Research MKultra trained kids. CIA.Serial killers .In later years: mass shooters ,triggered by signals via phone,etc. Trauma based mind control.

[@RK-rf8rc]

Obviously the music helps massively but I think this actually FEELS more like a John Carpenter film than even the first Halloween film does. Has a similar vibe to The Fog, IMO.

[@kryptism]

Don't forget Christine also!

[@demonoid7469]

A real shame that the people cried about it not having Myers in it...or Carpenter would have given us BETTER movies with different stories every Halloween as Halloween was intended by him to be originally...It was as he stated , Myers was just the FIRST story...

[@RK-rf8rc]

@@demonoid7469 It would have been interesting to have had the original Halloween as a stand-alone film, without the second one (as much as I like Halloween II). Maybe it would have been a better ending to the Michael Myers story to just have him vanish at the end and no one ever knew what happened. Though I also understand that most people like satisfying conclusions.

Good flick, i have it on dvd and once in a while I watch it again, especially for the locations where it was shot. Thank you for going to the exact locations. It's awkward how, after 40 years, I can still feel the creepiness of the places Halloween 3 was shot.

[@ericr8048]

Halloween III remains, to this day, a very underrated movie. I can understand people expecting Michael back in '82, then being disappointed or just plain confused. However, today people seem to still hold that against this movie. I first saw it decades ago, when I rented it on VHS, with very little knowledge about it other than the fact that it was unrelated to the other films. I enjoyed it a lot and wondered for years if I was the only person who liked it. I have the novelization for this one as well as an original theatrical poster for it, which I need to get framed so I can hang it up. Great movie, great music. Love the atmosphere of the film, too. There is that weird paranoia once they get to Santa Mira, where it seems somebody is always watching them. Excellent stuff and it remains extremely rewatchable. A top 5 choice of movies to watch for Halloween, in my opinion.

[@Orange6921]

I always liked this film as well

[@flacoramirez8433]

The Silver Shamrock factory & the Hotel were filmed in Loleta, Ca. It’s up near Eureka, Ca. I was there 2 days ago visiting my GF family. I was so hyped to visit these lactations when I found out just months ago that the movie was filmed in Loleta. And yes, the Silver Shamrock building is still standing. I couldn’t believe I was visiting these actual locations. I’ve been a fan of this movie since I was a kid.

That Phoenix Arizona nighttime trick or treating scene is such an iconic memorable scene and captured the essence of that October 31 eventful day in which we all have experienced in our youth. I remember they used that scene for the trailer of this movie and I think it fooled a lot of people thinking that the storyline had the infamous Michael Myers stalking about.🎃
