How bout Halloween 3....

[filmmaker2]

Yeah, well, I sure don't mean to appear as though I think it's a great film either--it's cheesy if it's anything. Cheap and tawdry, even somewhat sleazy at moments (yeah!). But there is an imaginative quality, and yes, it's better in terms of being linear/competent than most of the trash that's made nowadays.

It gets bashed a lot, and, just like a mutant cat with eight toes, it needs someone to love it. It's true, guys!

So I agree that there are worse ways of spending one's time. And better ways too. This movie is the patron saint of mediocrity!

Original Idea yes, but it should not be a part of the Halloween series. They should have just used it's secondary title "Season of the Witch" and left it at that. To mee Michael Myers is the Hallween series and he's not in this one so the movie shouldn't be considered the 3rd one of the series.

I hated this movie. Even when removing Michael Myers from the equasion. That fucking musical jingle stuck in my head for years and it was teeth grinding when I seen it the first time..."three more days till Holloween..." Arrrrgggggg!

Disappointed was my reaction upon first seeing Season of the Witch. Just as everyone says: no Michael Myers.

As part of the Halloween series, it certainly sticks out like a sore thumb. I could agree that it doesn't really belong there. Michael Myers is what the series has established after the first Halloween. And this is what the audience expects...no, demands.

As a stand-alone with a title completely far away from Halloween, it could have stood a better chance. From what I can remember, it wasn't that bad. People were just too busy bickering about where Michael Myers is to give the film a chance.

John Carpenter once said in an interview that he'd never consumed that many beers when he had to write Halloween 2. He didn't think there was anything else to add to it. On that note, I don't know what all the commotion is about Michael Myers this or that. As far as "Halloween" goes, there is nothing left.

There is only the first. Halloween.

supposedly the franchise had intended to release a new "halloween" film every year at halloween. the idea was that each film would be an original idea, having nothing to do with the prequels. however, fan reaction to the lack of myers in III was so overwhelmingly negative that the studio ditched the idea and went back to MM. or so i've heard.

I actually heard that Carpenter didn't want Michael Myers to have too many sequels cuz it would ruin the series (which most of the sequels did.) So, he thought up of this idea hoping that they wouldn't make anymore Halloween flicks. Didn't seem to work out though, now did it? But this is just what I heard. Could be false.

Now, I thought it sucked. Yes, one reason was because there was no Micheal *sob* But my main problem (besides that damn Shamrock song) was the whole mask bit. Don't get me wrong, I love cheesy stuff like this. But, the whole idea sucked in my opinion. Hufe flaw for the Halloween series.

I thought it was a good movie...

As far as Myers not being in it I was a bit bothered by it at first because I hadn't seen or heard anything about it and naturally thought Myers was in it but after I got about 15 minutes or so into it and realized he wasn't involved I forgot about it and enjoyed the movie.

If it were just called Season of the Witch then people might not have a problem with it because that's the only complaint I've really ever heard is that it's a Halloween film without Michael Myers.
