Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) Filming Locations Then and Now - Horror's Hallowed Grounds

[@rustygazes256]

It's great to see others actually love this movie. It's nostalgic.

[@Roadkill30]

Love the creepy atmosphere of Halloween 3. Oh and of course Tom Atkins is the man.

[@brunetteavenger6441]

Halloween 3 is so underrated...and Tom Atkins is most definitely the man!

[@markdunn2795]

Is Tom Atkins a man

[@Zaclatemap]

I think its funny how tom adkins was in a "Halloween" movie and also slept with jamie lee curtis in another role in another movie 😂

[@JasonLidkea]

I knew this film was genius in 1982. Atmosphere, suspense, and Tommy Wallace at the helm. Thanks.

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

Such a classic. The vibes from this film just hit differently. Must have been amazing seeing these places.

[@Njbear7453]

The music is great in H3.

[@cassielangham3730]

This was my first Halloween movie I ever owned. My parents bought it for me for my 14th birthday ❤️

[@CoscarelliFan]

This was pure gold. As always, HHG is what all us horror fans always needed....

[@russrtspooling7702]

This is becoming my favorite horror movie period. I have seen them all being an 80's baby and for me this movie does it on all cylinders.

[@alexandermatthews145]

I'm not much of a Michael Meyer's guy but Halloween 3 I absolutely love this Film it's in my all time Top 10 Horror movie it's probably around 7th for me 👍 👍

[@hallowpunky]

I’m down to see the deleted scenes where Sean fights against some meth-heads, Tommy Lee as the referee, etc

[@nickadams2451]

Sean: “Hey I got these really cool Halloween masks you should try on.” Tommy turns on television in one of the nearby hotel rooms. The next thing we see is a couple of meth heads with bugs and snakes all around them lying in the ground. Sean: “You know Tommy if we could figure out a way to hand these out to every meth head we’d be modern day hero’s.” Tommy: “I don’t think I have enough latex and molds for all of them though.”

[@nickadams2451]

Thanks Sean for highlighting my comment. Have a safe trip back from your shoot for Shaun Of The Dead. Happy Halloween bro! 🎃

I met Sean and Tommy in New Jersey in March 2011. Awesome guys. -I love how Sean goes to the source already armed with intelligent questions that come from the heart. Keep doing what you are doing sir. Matt Grant

[@ericcarvelli9773]

I actually really like this movie, it just should have been called Season of the Witch... Calling it Halloween without Michael Myers was a mistake..

[@olenlotharjoo]

Agree! It would be much better regarded these days if it would have been a stand alone movie and not a sequel.

[@eseetv9341]

In some ways, yes but the movie does feature the holiday season extensively even discussing samhain and showing masks being made

[@ernestbuckley8671]

Agree. Its a great movie.

[@ryohn5468]

The 80s sure had its interesting horror films. Many were weird and many were good and bad.

[@canedewey756]

Quit crying, Michael Myers is lame

[@davidk8721]

@9:31 how dare they talk to my Bro Sean Clark!! Don't they realize the famous director standing by you? Those meth heads must be the extras in the movie that got left behind all these years

This movie has aged very very well.

[@justafanofnerdculture7602]

You're the man, Sean! I actually saw you a few years back at a Walker Stalker con in Atlanta just walking amongst the crowd. I love Halloween 3, one of my favorite horror movies! So glad to see that within the last few years, it's gotten the respect that it deserves. This was cool to watch and the bonus, of course, was the cameo appearance of Tommy Lee Wallace!! Take care and be safe during these crazy times, man! ✌️

[@user-yk8vv5dr9x]

The season of the witch is a favorite one for me and i love the theme sound it gives me a scary creepy vibe ♡♡ This is what i miss from movies from the 80's and 90's they had a very different vibe!

[@MusicStudent1]

Hey Sean! It was a pleasure meeting you at the Houston Horror Film Fest last week! Thanks for doing these videos and be careful!

[@cortmajor]

I had hoped from the moment I found this channel that I’d find Halloween 3 and here it is!! Great channel, fantastic job Sean! A lot of us really appreciate your passion, please keep it going!

[@03cobra4]

This is an unbelievable video. Don't know how you don't have tons of subs and views. Amazing that you have TLW in it. One of my favorite movies of all time. Now getting the love that it deserved all along. One of best movie scores (along with H2018 and Prince of Darkness).

[@jgionti3]

I never understood why so many people don’t like this movie. I watched this as a kid and have loved it ever since. I watch it a couple times a year. I was lucky enough to visit the town in Loleta where it was filmed. It’s exactly like the movie. Very isolated and everyone knows you’re there. It’s almost creepy but a great visit.

[@stevens4316]

Love it too. Many expected the extension of the Myers story so it upset them. But if you look at it as a standalone movie it is amazing.

[@bobmathews9072]

You know what would be awesome , if you visited Loleta and just as the sun started going down , the p.a system came on going “Curfew , curfew” 😳

[@RobBosch-m9k]

OK this is my new favorite KZbin channel. Can't believe I am just discovering it. Terrific stuff guys!

[@stampamphora]

Very interesting to see the filming locations, I think this is the second best Halloween, after the original. It has great atmosphere and music.

[@HorrorReject]

I'm so happy that you make these videos free

[@timheye7863]

Thank you for showing me this. As a teen, I loved Halloween III so much, I needed to see it every week with a little jack'o'lantern on the tv. This movie deserves the title Halloween because of the great atmosphere and the roots it has with the holiday. Thank you from a Belgian fan. And thank you Tommy for making this movie.

[@donpace6405]

Tommy Lee Wallace is just Awesome He has made some of the Best films ever Halloween III: Season of the Witch has got to be my favorite film in the series Thank you for this video and Mr Wallace for your tour.

[@randall2034]

Thanks for this Sean! And bringing Tommy Lee Wallace along! H3 is a awesome dope ass movie! It doesn’t get a lot of credit it deserves and it’s one of my favorite Halloween films! I wish they would bring Atkins back for another sequel! Sean you rock! I’m a big horror fan geek and hopefully you do Scream!

[@alucard624]

Loved seeing Atkins in the My Bloody Valentine remake from a few years back. Hands down one of the coolest people I've ever met at a horror con to this day.

[@TheWallygatorca]

The Buccaneer moved to it’s present location in 1984. H3 was filmed at what is now a wine shop/liquor store a couple doors down in 1982. Here’s how I found out… Saw the Halloween pinball machine on your channel here and wanted to see where I can play one as you know they’re all sold out. A Korean barbecue joint in Van Nuys has one of two Halloween public pinball machines in So Cal. So weekend party trip planned. Head up from Diego with the wife, and we’ll pick up our daughter along the way. Daughter says she wants to see the Myers’ house and other locales, as she’s recently back into the franchise after seeing Halloween Kills. Hell yeah I’m in, so I dig up info I had from visiting the Halloween movie locations from 2004 and we cruise up just this past weekend. Have a blast seeing a bunch of locations from Halloween, two, and three and the Fog church. Was cool to go back through the alley of part 2, where I had stumbled upon that X on the telephone pole in 2004, knowing I had found the right spot like a treasure map where X marks the spot. The cemetery down the road from the Buccaneer looked same as always of course, with the Sinclair headstone prominent as ever. We moseyed on into The Buccaneer for a round and I found myself not convinced the place was the same as in the movie. Yeah, the paintings match up, but looking closer at the huge one behind the bar, I realized it was hung up and not painted on the wall. Anyway, I was able to talk with the owner who was selling merch out front, and she told me all about it. The history, filming, the artwork, etc. The business has been in her family forever. Drinks are still cheap and strong with good vibes. Highly recommend!

[@faustproductionstm7930]

When are you going to make Nightmare 2 Sean? 😂 :P

I hope it doesn't happen for a long time. I would hate to see the running gag with Robert Rusler end. What's he gonna bug Sean about after that? Weird Science? ;)

The factory in Lolita is probably going to be torn down soon, I am posting this about 3 years after this video came out. We had 2 large earthquakes the last two years that has caused the roof to collapse, and some of the exterior walls. you can't get too close to the building anymore as its been cordoned off, with one of the streets completely closed.

[@relicman]

This Movie makes me think of Richard Christy. Howard Stern gives him Hell about his love for the Halloween season but I can relate.

[@ChrisRoth1972]

I noticed with Bar that with the pictures reversed,there was that tacky 70’s & 80’s wooden paneling! The dude who was in Weird Science looks nothing like he did in Nightmare on Elm Street 2,he must be in his 60’s.I enjoyed like sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many with the tour of locations with the director of Halloween 3! It was pretty exciting.Thanks!

Great channel very nostalgic 👍🏼

[@Mallaien]

Lolita, CA is known for Halloween by the locals, Its is also next to Ferndale CA that was in movies like Salem's Lot, and Outbreak. If you drive a few miles into the hills from Ferndale you can reach a redwood Grove where Return of the Jedi Speeder bike chase, was filmed. If you are ever up here, check in with the Humboldt Film Commission, and they will give you a list of all the movies filmed out here.

So great you found the mask shop on the spot as you were filming. Those posts definitely seem to be definitive proof.

[@SynthAddict]

great production, fun and very informative 🙂 one correction is the Buccaneer Bar actually moved a few doors down to where you visited from the old shooting location, and they moved the paintings there too - grimmlifecollective covers the details and it's backed up by the locals at the old location - cool how they mostly preserved the look inside, even though 2 paintings behind Challis are switched from the movie orientation

[@cfhcowboy9292]

[@jonesy2111]

Halloween 3 is my favorite of the Halloween series… while I might be in the minority in this I always found it to be much more interesting and it has to be one of the most underrated horror films of all time. Tom Atkins in one of his best roles as the henpecked beer drinking doctor and Dan O'Herlihy as Conal Cochran was a great performance and such memorable dialogue-“You don't really know much about Halloween. You thought no further than the strange custom of having your children wear masks and go out begging for candy. Conal Cochran: It was the start of the year in our old Celtic lands, and we'd be waiting in our houses of wattles and clay…” -🎃 10:28

[@intertubicular]

Halloween Season Of The Witch is in my top 20 Favorite movies list. Cool video Kiddo. Nice seeing the "MAN" Tommy Lee Wallace got involved in your production. How does a freak like you get to hook up with the coolest of the cool? HOW?

[@doctorsocrates4413]

Very under rated halloween film and the criticism was unjustified...This was a brilliant halloween film in it's own right and the atmospheric quality of the film was top notch...good job by tommy lee wallace.

[@marioulmer4397]

That's cool that even Tommy Lee realized some new things

[@bigmikeallbright]

I always liked how they went in a different direction on Halloween III. Interesting if Friday the 13th had done the same thing with their second installment.

[@alucard624]

@LiveOkie Not really. Halloween 3 has a pretty good fanbase now who gave the movie a chance since its original release. It's classic John Carpenter all the way. I'm seriously hoping that once Halloween Ends finishes off the Myers story the whole anthology angle can be explored again for future films.

[@BigtimeJuicer]

Robert Rustler is F'ING hysterical!! Dude shows up in every episode trying to peddle Nightmare 2. Haha JUST DO IT, Sean!!! Granted....If you did the first one, it's the same house.

[@Buck3366]

Sean if you ever get the chance to see Tommy again can you ask a question please? Who came up with the name Silver Shamrock Novelties? As we know it’s featured in the movie but one tag on one mask has the name Silver Shamrock Enterprises.It’s on the pumpkin mask Challis picks up off the desk in the hospital just after he calls Linda his ex wife. I’m thinking maybe Enterprises was too long a word or maybe not fitting with a mask/toy company theme so they swapped it but it’s cool a tag made it into the movie with the original name. Love the work you do and greetings from a fellow H3 fan in the UK.

I wish they would do a remake of this movie. The idea of making a Halloween anthology series was a great idea and somebody should pick the ball up again and run with it. I just watched Halloween three season of the witch for the first time in 2016 and I love it. I’m not sure exactly how old Tom Adkins is now in 2021, but I’m sure these great writers and filmmakers could figure something out that all of us horror fans would enjoy.
