Halloween 3 Season of the Witch Filming Locations Then & Now 4K

[@GluteusMaximus21]

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

[@hallking7441]

Awesome flick that gets way too much hate. Tom Atkins is the BOSS.

[@zamiadams4343]

Well said, TOP film.

[@joen8529]

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.

[@joen8529]

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

[@portiasmith9404]

Love Tom Atkins, he's great in the Fog also.

[@drn13355]

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.

[@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.

[@leedonovan8567]

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

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

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.

@@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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
