What Halloween 3 Was Actually About

[@I.____.....__...__]

Carpenter never wanted sequels, he always wanted to do an anthology from the start. They forced him to make the second one as a sequel because the first did well, but when he was finally able to move on with the third, it "bombed" because everybody expected more Michael Meyers. That's exactly what he was worried about and why he didn't want the second to be about Michael Meyers. The corporation's drive for profit destroyed his drive for art. 🤦

[@pimscrypt]

At the very least he keeps receiving checks.

[@Shjejkf278]

Nobody cares lol. Everybody wants Michael

[@Mike55690]

Genuinely love the OG's by John and i never really considered this really part of the series since of course it didn't have Michael, etc etc however over the years giving this movie another go it's genuinely great and much of what you said resonates with my sentiments alike, as always, stellar job Pim!

[@pimscrypt]

Thank you! I agree, it's definitely one of those films that grows on you.

[@Pentarax]

The thing a lot of people seem to miss nowadays when discussing scariest/deadliest horror movie killers; Cochran has quite possibly the highest body count of any horror movie villain ever.

[@pimscrypt]

He'd at the very least be on the top ten list, for sure!

[@Pentarax]

@@pimscrypt Ironically a UK group did a "study" on top 10 horror movie killers, with "body count per film" being a qualifier. Michael was #1. Cochran wasn't even on the list.

[@pimscrypt]

@@Pentarax That's some MAJOR Halloween 3 erasure!

[@miraprime474]

Thank you so much for the shout out Pim! You're so sweet! 💜😭 Gotta say Halloween '78 and Halloween III are my favorites in the series.

[@pimscrypt]

You deserve it!

[@I.____.....__...__]

That you have to specify "78" because a quarter of the movies in the franchise have the exact same title is another example of how Hollywood's avarice overrides creativity in order to try to "cash in" on name. 😒

[@QuestingRefuge]

Okay gonna have to watch Halloween 3 now. I really wish the series had become an anthology. Wish we had more anthologies in general. Love the video! 💜

[@pimscrypt]

Thank you! I really hope you'll like it!

[@gorgin1017]

This one is my favorite out of the whole series (other than the original). So glad to see it's got some more recognition these last few years. Enjoyed your videos as always. Love from Iran.

[@pimscrypt]

Same. Thank you so much, I'm very glad you're enjoying them!

[@bvaugh11]

Thank you so much for not playing the Silver Shamrock jingle. That thing has been burned into my brain since I was a kid. Once again, great video Pim. Love being shown new ways of looking at classic horror films.

[@pimscrypt]

The urge to play it was definitely there. This comment made me very glad I didn't include it haha!

[@finesse5119]

Hell yeah! Didn't expect a Turbonegro cover at the end. You rock! "I always knew that they would end up like today, they bought the candy and they paid with tooth decay!" I don't know, maybe you find a better rhyme when you record the full song :D

[@pimscrypt]

I thought about rewriting more of the lyrics. Shame I can't go back and use those lines haha!

[@eveningdreamermusic]

I love this weird movie. it's one of my favorites of the era and it's one I'd suggest to almost anyone who asks me for a movie to watch for halloween

[@pimscrypt]

I feel like Halloween 3 and Trick r Treat are the perfect Halloween night movie experiences!

[@DavetheTurnip]

Great video. To this day, Halloween III is the only film in the series I've seen. That jingle will haunt me until I die. Also, I somehow missed that your Saw video came out. I'll have to go and watch that. 😀

[@searchingfororion]

Now that it's been a month, I'm curious what your thoughts were on it. The Saw video was the one that introduced me to their content (I then proceeded binge the rest over a 2-3 day time span).

[@DavetheTurnip]

@@searchingfororion I liked it :)

[@iamerror]

I love it! Thanks for this great video Pim!

[@pimscrypt]

Thank you, I'm very glad you liked it!

Halloween, as someone who comes from a place where we celebrate carnival (from November to February) where people get dressed as they like Halloween is soo strange to me.

[@searchingfororion]

From your description alone, Carnival seems like "adult" Halloween combined with Mardi gras - only *four months* long? That sounds AMAZING! Where are you from? The closest I can think of is "Carnaval" in South America (forgive me for not remembering the country/countries I'm a product of the US education system therefore any knowledge of what's outside our borders has to be obtained via independent research.)

[@michimatsch5862]

@@searchingfororion Germany. Southern Germany specifically. Of course people are not permanently partying but the different groups (people can form any kinda of group and have them registered) become active at the 11th of November and will keep showing up or organise events with other groups. My brother-in-law is in one and he is often away twice a week, haha. The main month for "Karneval" is however February where you get marches, places turning into carnival towns (like on a fair, I expect), and the like. I'd only ever take part in marching bands, joining some marches or just randomly marching through the city playing tunes while we go from location to location.

[@searchingfororion]

@@michimatsch5862 Ich bin dumm. If I'd actually *looked* at your username I would have recognized the Deutsch flavors to it. I'm genuinely embarrassed. On the *upside* I learned more about German culture than I did before, I appreciate the insight. (Thanks for not *obviously* laughing at me, though if I were in your shoes I'm sure a chuckle would have happened.)

[@michimatsch5862]

@@searchingfororion you'd be amazed at how many people don't notice. I am happy you got something out of it!

[@searchingfororion]

@@michimatsch5862 Well yes but in my case there's not much of an excuse, I used to be fluent enough to have conversational German (and I'm still the person who laughs tremendously at unsubtitled dialogue in a mainstream film, but then subsequently has to explain to everyone else in the room why I'm laughing and why there weren't subtitles.)

[@crazyleg2006]

I really enjoyed this video. You gave me some cool things to think about regarding h3.

[@EggheadsGuide]

Congrats on meeting the patreon goal enjoy some Scary Movies 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, epic movie, and whatever else it was.

[@pimscrypt]

Oh no there's NO way I'm going beyond Scary Movie 1-5! I don't hate myself enough to do something like that!

[@Shoobadawoop]

I love your cover of All My Friends Are Dead!! Hell yeahh!! 🖤 Also gotta say I love Scary Movie so much, the sequels are alright, but the first one I love lol

[@TenTinyKittens]

fantastic video as always pim 💜

[@pimscrypt]

Thank you so much!

[@michimatsch5862]

Aww, super-sweet ending.

[@MrRaivokasMagma]

Interesting idea if the series would've continued as an anthology, but oh well....

[@pimscrypt]

Yeah I would personally have prefered that over what we got.

[@MrBjort]

Lovely ending

[@THATGuy5654]

The next film in the franchise is going to be called *HALLOWEEN: F××k You, We'll Do What We Want* and it's going to be a direct sequel to 3.

[@pimscrypt]

The dream.

[@searchingfororion]

I know this is an 'older' video but I hope you'll read this because it's a "glitch" you may want to be aware of. I swear (rather, I know) I was subscribed, but recently realized you weren't in my feed. I had to search you so I can do so again. This isn't an isolated incident. *Many* "small" creators have been mentioning that followers discovered that YT had unsubscribed them. In one case, someone suggested that those whom had subscribed in the past double check that were still, and if not - please do so. When their metrics came in the subscription count had nearly tripled. (Because the "glitch" had been doing this at such a subtle amount over time they simply thought the channel had stagnated.) I know that was a bit lengthy, but since I can't *financially* contribute toward your success, I thought the *least* I could do was tell you that the infamous "glitch" had made it to your channel which is why I'm so late to the party.

[@pimscrypt]

I truly appreciate the concern. I'm not sure if the problem is that people have been unsubscribed without knowing in this case, since I've steadily gotten more subscribers since the video came out. However, I one hundred percent agree that KZbin hasn't been notifying people about this one, for whatever reason. It sucks, because I have next to no power to fight this. It also frightens me that this might happen again as soon as I release my next video. I obviously could try and notify people in the next one, but if KZbin isn't pushing the video the majority of those who actively follow me won't know about it anyway.

[@searchingfororion]

@@pimscrypt Firstly, it's kind of you to read my lengthy comment and reply. I appreciate it. I say "glitch" in quotation marks because it only seems to happen to a very specific (🏳️‍🌈) cluster of channel creators. The reason that the individual I mentioned was able to bring it up and have the results that they did was because they do have a rather rigorous upload schedule and therefore vids were showing up on the homepage for those that had been bumped unknowingly. I know that you aren't in a in situation to do anything like that at this point, but perhaps you could make a short? Some of the most commonly suggested ones to me are just segments of other videos that I've already seen and then maybe a caption/title or something to make it relevant on it's own. But maybe that would be a way for you to do a "Do you know where *your* subscription is?" moment between now and the massive undertaking you have set ahead of you. As I mentioned, I don't have any coin (I literally started last month in the negative by triple figures) but I'm always happy to "pay it forward" any way that I can. Even if it's just brainstorming.
