I've never been much of a fan of the Halloween series (compared to Friday 13th series and the Nightmare on Elm Streets). I do like this no.3 a lot though. It is truly off the wall, 80s in a big way and Tom Atkins is a really underrated actor (much like Gary Busey! check out King's Silver Bullet). This feels more like a Carpenter film than the rest of the series, because of its wierdness and uneasy atmosphere! I can't really say a bad word about this film. OK that bloody Shamrock TV commercial song is inanely repetitive!  |

 You can't go wrong with Halloween III.Some great gore effects in the uncut version,a really good score,a fantastically downbeat ending (I want to find out one day what happened!) and Tom Atkins is the king of cool. |

I'd like to know how a substantially large portion of Stonehenge was smuggled from fair Wiltshire to the USA without anyone noticing. Did Jordan hide it down her front?  Great fun film. A shame the UK home releases have been so messy. |

The Universal R1 release is still the way to go if you want a decent uncut version of Halloween III.It still remains my favourite out of ALL the Halloween sequels, even though it's got nothing to do with Michael Myers.

I have always loved this film ever since I first saw it on a Thorn-EMI pre-cert back when I was 14. My friends were distressed by the lack of Michael Myers, but I loved the new story. I also loved the novelisation by Dennis Etchison, which retained more of Nigel Kneale's original script from what I remember. Kneale himself may have been livid at the adaptation, but the premise is unmistakeably his work! And it's a brilliant "mad toymaker" story even stripped of Kneale's pagan cult elements. I can't help but think that the film has suffered unfairly at the hands of critics who simply didn't get it. You rarely see a good or even friendly review of it. It's clearly a better film than Halloween II and wonderfully dark with a superb Tom Atkins performance. I like it! |

It would have been Interesting to see Carpenter's plans for a completely unconnected series of Halloween movies.At the very least we would never had to suffer Halloween:Resurrection |
