"Halloween 3" was actually a pretty decent film. But it will probably be forever shunned by most Halloween fans because there's no Michael Meyers in it. The studio did a stupid thing by naming it "Halloween 3".

Should have been called just "Season of the Witch" or "Masks of Death" or something. The studio wanted Halloween to become an anthology of scary films, each year a different story but called Halloween 3,4,5 etc. They thought they had told the Michael Myers story.

Yup, I actually enjoyed this film. In reality though it should not have been attached to the Halloween franchise.
Michael Myers = Halloween. No Michael Myers = Unhappy Halloween fans! Sad, but true.

I was really annoyed the first time watching it because of the lack of Michael
 I didn't realise until I was watching it.

Regading the title of this film.The 3 in the title is actually reference to the 3 Silver Shamrock Masks.

Michael or no Michael, I still found it to be just another in a long line of messy, badly made, silly 80's B movies from the horror genre. The only thing it has going for it that nauseating song.
Without Halloween in the title it would have fallen into obscurity. |

I love this film!
It was also surprisingly gory and full-on for it's time. I've seen several versions of this, but when I saw it the cinema it was only a 15, but it contained an un-cut version of the sequence where the henchman (robot?) plunges his fingers straight into the old guys eye-sockets and crushes his skull! I remember my jaw dropping... It also has kid-killings (actually that's the whole concept) and an off-camera driller-killing! Wonderful cliff-hanger ending as well. If, as Miss Dexter says, there is a new Blu-Ray, I will have to invest! I really wish the franchise had continued in this way, with fresh Halloween stories every year! Mind you, at least the sequels gave us Danielle Harris, who is a bit of a genre star now ... |

It's an unfairly maligned film. It was always interesting back in the 80s that the only version you could get on video was the censored 15 version while BBC1 used to show it uncut.

UK release
Please tell me this is going to get a UK release !!!! H3 has always been one of my favourite movies .... Just something about it , don't know if it's the music score or just the way it was shot , but it scared me when I first watched it as a kid all those years ago , and I still find it wonderfully creepy even today . Has a great atmosphere to it , and makes such a change from the normal slasher movies . In fact I guess it's a bit more sci-fi than pure horror . Love it , really hope it gets a UK release in time for the big giveaway at 9 ! Watch The Magic Pumpkin............Watch .............Watch.

Great little film, and a true oddity, though I understand Nigel Kneale was rather miffed with it.
btw, as of today, it's....fifty one days till Halloween, Halloween, Halloween...

I didn't enjoy it at the time of it's release because it was so different to the previous ones, maybe a rewatch is in order.

I always liked Halloween 3. Much better than some of the Halloween films which followed, apart H20 which was decent come back, then to ruin it all over again.

There is always something about Halloween 3, its not that impressive the first few times you watch it but it seems to have because a bit of a classic over the years and it has certain amount of charm. I do think that it did need the "Halloween" title attached to it to though else it might have just slipped into obscurity.
Lets face it though nothing can be worst than number 6, 7 and 8 in the franchise haha |

I do agree with Jamie Lee Curtis though. She can never be criticised, she was always the best thing about the Halloween franchise. |
