Automatically generated comment thread for Halloween III: Season of the Witch! Halloween 3.

Those of you who viewed my coverage of the 2009 Halloween Horror Nights saw that the "Life and Crimes of Michael Myers" maze had a special room dedicated to Halloween III: Season of the Witch. In celebration of this, I went ahead and updated my old article about the movie and put it into the new site template so you guys can finally talk about it on here! Happy, Happy Halloween! Silver Shamrock!

Please do this for Dock Mock

i watched this movie yesterday is really good i also noticed the doctor is a character from prince of darkness

Ex Leper: I would love to show it on Doc Mock (along with many other favorite films o' mine), but we'd need to get the rights to do so from whoever currently owns the film, and they'd probably charge a small fortune.

Darkvare: You're confusing Tom Atkins (Halloween 3) with Jameson Parker (Prince of Darkness). It's probably because of the mustache.

you are right moustaches do tend to blind me with their awesomeness

Saw this back when it first came out, and boy was I disturbed. That whole snakes in the head thing made me nauseous as a kid. It wasn't Michael Myers, but it was somehow worse.

Oh my god, there's a mask for Micheal on the Side, DEAR GOD IT LOOKS AWFUL! XD Here it is.

I always enjoyed this movie. Kinda gotta turn your brain off for a bit, though.

didn't you already cover this movie before??? *could've sworn you had* Unless you just felt like sharing it again with us, which is totally cool.

Primortal: Read the first comment in this Halloween III discussion thread :picklehat

The Irish theming of the town reminds me of a town I drove through when on a road trip once. It is in the Texas panhandle and it is called Shamrock, and the town has an irish theming to it, though I do not know if there is a toy factory there. That would be awesome though.

You know what I always enjoyed about the complaints about this movie? It's always the fact that this film is "shapeless" it never has anything to do with the robots. I mean seriously if Myers was in it nobody would have a problem with life-like frikkin androids in the film!!!

Like yourself though, EXCEPT for the robots I found the film to be very enjoyable. It's a very scary concept if you think of it (a carrier wave like tv killing you). Also very timely at the time of release for such a concept as the "evil" that is cable television is finally hitting the high levels of saturation it is today. The more frightning thing is there is technology to do this sort of thing RIGHT now! Now making your head melt and turn into bugs an snakes no, but a specilized tv signal that'll cause nausia on the low end and seizures or even death on the high end, hell yes it could happen! Just keep that in mind the next time you watch a republican town hall meeting on the tv.... they might try to just get rid of us. ;)

Any chance of updating more of the old stuff in the future? Commenting is awesome.

I wish this movie would have been successful so there would have been more Halloween movies with completely random plots. Really, are any of the Halloween movies with Michael Myers worth seeing after the first two?

I absolutely loved this movie, I always looked at as what happened on that Halloween that Michael was resting up after being burned in part 2.

Always loved this piece RoG, especially for that Cochran clapping animated-gif which is just pure win. (Bet you had a TIME making it).

Dan O'Herlihy is my favorite thing about this flick. He's one of the best horror baddies ever, and he doesn't need to chop up a single amorous babysitter. That's why I kind of prefer him as a villain rather than young Michael Myers.

Plus there's the Santa Mira in-joke, which is a little piece of gold.

I love this movie, no matter how flawed. I remember my local channels running the trick or treating scene as part of their Halloween programming bumpers.

I dont think this movie ever gets old to me.

Dammit... after 10 years, I'd finally got that fracking song out of my head, and you go and ram it right back in there. Silver Shamrock!

Even though it never gets old to me, I still question like half the stuff that happens in this movie. I mean, some of the deaths make no sense to what is going on with the movie, for example Robo Ellie. She's killed, then made into a robot, then killed again by a mighty pimp slap. I think the only reason I end up watching this movie in the series is for the Silver Shamrock song, and the ladys face getting melted by the laser.

i saw this for the first time at your apartment in va. at the part when evol robots are running amok and busting down doors you mentioned offhandedly that robots hate doors. that just stuck with me for some reason :o

I wish snakes would crawl out of MY melting, collapsing skull :(

Oh... thanks for replying. ^^ now I know... and knowing is half the battle.

i wonder how long it took the guy to throw that mask up on the camera.....one of those 1 in 1000 shot

I like all the fake heads they used in this movie it's sort of hilarious

good movie ,watched it last night
great special effects/and soundtrack from john carpenter
not connected to the original halloween,which makes it an enjoyable film,more in
the sci-fi/horror mode!!!!

Got some typos in there, RoG. Don't worry, I've got it covered...

"Challis, being part doctor and part AWESOME..."

"He's going to FONDLE a ton of his across the nation this Halloween with his Silver Shamrock masks by melting their faces and turning them into a pile of insects 'n snakes."

"This guy IS a fucking STAR! TOM ATKINS IS THE STUFF DREAMS ARE MADE OF. THRILL ME."

I hope that helps. Maybe you should proofread your articles a little more closely.

Heheh, nice "corrections" there, Wyckid. Believe me, I'm well aware of the genius that is Tom Atkins including his classic role in Night of the Creeps. I just wish he really was a huge star... then again, it's probably best we get to enjoy him in the realm of b-movies. I think that's where the guy was always meant to truly shine.

:halloween2:halloween:halloweengood one,great scene that,id say tom atkins was practising that a good few times:halloween2

There's a new "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" collector's edition DVD & Blu-ray coming out this month and I think the new artwork looks awesome. Take a look!

Thought you guys would enjoy seeing this. It's an awesome Halloween III: Season of the Witch tourist print I picked up last month:
