I think the reason Cochran let Challis escape is because he knew he'd won anyways. The chips were out in the public, the commercial was already set to run, Stonehenge had already been activated. Even though they did destroy the factory, Cochran won hours ago, evidenced by the smile he has upon being turned into pure energy. Leaving Challis with robo-Ellie was just a spiteful parting gift for the loser.
And this make him one magnificient bastard of a villain. The small clap he did was awesome
@@stefanoagrimi8074 The first time we get a glimpse of Cochran is in the hospital: he's standing behind Ellie, out in the corridor.
@@conalcochranh3274 you don't think they would have made him *slightly* more visible then (if he really was the guy w/the pipe), even if it was supposed to be super-subtle foreshadowing?
@@stefanoagrimi8074 nancy pelosi clap at Trump state of the union speeches she copied cochran clap have you noticed?
excellent points you make but i think cochran had it all planned down to a tee from start to finish he leaked plans to ellie dad accidently on purpose etc he wanted a hero to oppose him and got challis was the man he made it all happen & bonus cochran gets killed=what he wanted no police coming to arrest him after death etc cochran clapping challis was like saying you unwittingly did all that was predicted and what i wanted you to do so clap clap he welcomed his death or seeming defeat he lost battle but cochran won the war he wanted death and he got it as next astrological alignment another 3000 years into the future? maybe cochran ancestors were witches & warlocks his mother a witch etc
Fun fact: Stacey Nelkin was supposed to play a replicant in Blade Runner, and in this film, she gets turned to an android. Both were released in 1982 as well
Season Of The Witch is brilliant. It’s clever and creepy and it has a really dark ending. And it has Tom Atkins. I love it.
Facts!
Not being ba fan of Michael this is my favorite Halloween movie,as a kid wanted one of the movie mask so bad. This movie was good
Amen. 🎃
If it was released under a different name, I don't think it would have gotten so much criticism. We watch it every October. 🎃
@@sinical1031 People expected Michael Myers....because lack of imagination I guess. I love the first two Halloween movies but all the other Michael movies are terrible.
People said this movie was the worst Halloween movie,
....and yet Halloween Resurrection is a thing.....
you should check out the cinema snob review of that movie. People bitch rob zombies halloween ruined the halloween movies yet....resurrection exists.
Resurrection is still better than what Rob Zombie unleashed upon an unsuspecting world.
Goddamned white horse...
Resurrection isn't the worst.. Rob Zombies Halloween II is the worst.
So true.
themadrapper101 The same director was involved with both films. I’d much rather watch the former than the latter. At least Halloween Resurrection was more entertaining to watch and Busta Rhymes was a lot of fun (whether ironically or not).
Edit: Sorry, he was actually involved with the original Halloween 2. My memories mixed up.
His screaming at the end always gives me chills. Its up there with the 70's Body Snatchers for me

@@themollymachine Planet of the Apes 1968, Taylor sobbing and the waves hitting the beach.
I made these exact connections! Harrowing screams of strong heroes rendered totally defeated. I would add the cop from the OG Wicker Man as well. "Oh God! Oh Jesus CHRIIIST!"
I kinda wish the Halloween series was a horror anthology that made a different movie every year.
A Netflix series taking that approach could work.
I'm kinda glad not. Halloween 3 should of been called Season of the Witch, that's it.
themadrapper101 Why? Halloween in general doesn't really have anything to with Michael. It makes sense. Plus, you can't set a status quo with two films.
If it turned into an anthology series, maybe one or two films would be considered good before they start sucking and everybody wants Michael back..
As Always same
“So after Dan defeats the robot”.... couldn’t stop laughing at this...
Fan theory suggests that the Silver Shamrock company created Michael’s mask.
BLVCK Atlantian
😲
BLVCK Atlantian
That would be a great link between the movies.
That doesn't work. In Halloween III, Michael Myers is a fictional character. So Silver Shamrock can't affect him because he isn't real.
KeepingAngelaBaker So you are saying that actors in a film can't wear props from the real world?
Pretty sure that's more than possible...
Not only that in the trailer for this years Halloween reboot (all aboard the hype train)we seen 3 kids with each silver shamrock mask
I saw this movie once . Ten years ago. That song has never left my head .
This movie is an underrated gem ! Great review.
They could've tied up Halloween 3 with the first Halloween movie by making it all happen the same night. For instance, we see the clown mask was made by Silver Shamrock and Michael as a kid takes one of them. Then, it shows how each mask effects the kids differently ranging from committing murder to just straight up killed. Anyways, the third movie is probably the best one out of the whole series.
That is a really cool idea. The one issue is Michael Murdered Judith in 67, and H3 is early 80s. I’m not sure that matters though as the clown mask could be connected to young Cochran with about 3 minutes at the end hinting at it. I don’t know, but it is a really cool idea.
That could've worked, making a young Mike's mask be the prototype.
Halloween 1 is better but 3 is way more creative than any of the sequels
"Night of the Living Insurance Salesmen"! Now that would be a really scary concept!
Someone hire this man pls
Halloween fandom 1982: WHAT IS THIS?! THERE'S NO MICHEAL MYERS??!! WHAT'S THIS SILVER SHAMROCK COMPANY??!! WE WANT MICHEAL MYERS!!!!
Halloween fandom today: WHY DIDN'T THEY STICK WITH THE ANTHOLOGY IDEA
It’s Michael not Micheal
Hey! Maybe this guy is Russian. Leave him alone you angry trolls!
@@ianrotten4453
Those are the same guys that whine about Myers not being in 'H3', so don't hold it against those sissies.
@@ianrotten4453 Or Irish. Or just spells the name "michael" however it is most commonly spelled around them because it's entirely possible to never notice there are two different spellings, given the way normal people (looking right at the first two commenters here) tend to skim over familiar names? Or, even, that someone maybe made a typo and didn't feel like going back to correct an ultimately meaningless mistake just because annoying internet people are demanding it be corrected, none-too-politely.
@I Am The One Who Knocks Halloween 3 is the best Halloween movie besides Trick R Treat.
I always liked this movie as a kid. Super creepy imagery that is still unsettling. I also liked the ending.
Fun fact: Santa Mira was ground zero of the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Tommy lee Wallace’s own little nods to the film are scattered throughout. Especially the ending was 100% an homage to it.
What? They’re real, well damn here I thought it was only the lizard people around.
/s
This is not only the best Halloween movie, this is one of the best ever made for Horror.
Hurry up it's Halloween!
Halloween, Halloween!
Hurry up, it's Halloween!
Silver Shamrock!
Hello Hewy! From a big fan of yours.
Hewy Toonmore I love your work man.
17:41-17:48
Happy happy Halliween actually
More like 3 more days to Halloween halloween halloween Makes me wanna fucking scream silver shamrock.
When i was a kid this was my favorite Halloween movie out of the series. Conspiracies are far more scary than some guy with a Shatner mask with family issues.
I get chills at that ending, even to this day. When I first saw this as a kid, I loved it because it was different, and for context, the 2nd movie is my favorite of the original ones. I really wish we got an anthology series, seriously.
There’s a fan theory that the Michael Myers from the later movies is actually a cyborg made by Silver shamrock.
Still would've been better than the Cult of Thorn.
I love that idea!
@@jsb6975.ah.crapbasketsFunny connection between 3 and 6, Mitchell Ryan as Dr. Wynn was in Lethal Weapon, which Tom Atkins was also in. There's also some Halloween 3 references in 6, the babysitter, Mrs. Blanketship had the same last name as "Minnie Blanketship", an unseen character from H3.
That's really dumb and don't make any sense lol
Imagine Cochran asking the boy "Have you ever seen a grown man naked?"
I think they could have made the anthology idea work... if they had not already made Halloween II as another Michael Myers story. If Season of the Witch had been the second film rather than the third one, I believe it would have worked.
Isaac Baranoff
How unfortunate.
A Netflix series taking that approach could work.
Carandini While I see your point and I agree that things would’ve been better if they did that (along with the filmmakers actually telling people what they’re doing), but the reason why they did that at all is because Michael Myers died at the end of 2 and this was before the idea of slasher villains constantly coming back from the dead really took off. It’s especially annoying when the sequels try to pretend that Michael never burnt to a crisp in an attempt to avoid ripping off Friday the 13th.
Carandini
I’m honestly happy that II was made, it was a good conclusion to the characters, but even so I could of gone both ways with only 1 being made and jumping into the anthology way. As much as I love II, it did kill the idea of an anthology right from the get-go.
I always thought they could've folded this back into the series by using that cult angle from one of the later ones and saying that Cochran was their pawn; the many children he killed aided them in resurrecting Michael and making him truly immortal.
Did he even try and save his own kids? Presumably, those were the masks their Mom bought them.
well, there's a sort of connection in Halloween 6.
I never understood the hate myself, it isn't a particularly great movie, but it still manages to be fucking creepy and the story was rather original especially when compared to how repetitive the series became. There was even the whole crazy thorn cult thing in the later sequels that didn't make any sense and can't forget the continuity being completely fucked due to all the soft reboots, yet Season of the Witch is considered by many to be the worst movie in the franchise.
People have their preferences, so they like some genres over others. Especially changing genres partway through a series
I always liked this installment of the series the best. The creepy music and atmosphere and the brutal kill scenes just made it a bit more scarier than the original for some reason.
Underrated movie definitely better most of the later sequels in my opinion
The people that rated it poorly back then and ruined the anthology idea back then can go fuck themselves.
Your opinion is more of a fact.
The best thing about the sequel- Donald Pleasance as Dr Loomis. Seriously, I watched the sequels because of him
Dick Warlock was Michael in Halloween 2 as well.
The whole “it’s bad since Michael Meyers isn’t in it” would work a lot less if he wasn’t in the second one
kamenriderreaper the story of 1 and 2 should have been put together into 1 movie for it to work
@@athomicritics that would be too long or it will be like Rob Zombie remake where First half is the first one and second half is the second one
It's like saying Shock Treatment is bad because it has nothing to do with Rocky Horror.
@@athomicriticsnaw the first film is fine on it’s own
Woah I never knew that Nancy Loomis was in Halloween 3
I’ve seen Halloween 3, Robocop 1 and Robocop 2. I still watch the Simpsons. The physical similarity between C. Montgomery Burns and the Late Dan O’Herlihy is uncanny. Also, doesn’t the plot for Halloween 3 sound like something Mr. Burns would attempt in a Treehouse of Terror episode?
I always thought Dan O'Herlihy was doing his damnedest Angus Scrimm in this movie.
KeepingAngelaBaker
I’d have thought so too. Then I saw the Simpson two-parter where Mr. Burns built a large satellite to block out the sun in Springfield. I just happened to catch that repeat right after seeing Robocop 2.
DetroitAlan01 wow I've never put those two together.
The Masks In Halloween III Is Made By Don Post Who Also Made Masks For The Disney Theme Parks
I remember Gene Siskel being one of the few film reviewers of the time actually liking this film. The man was ahead of his time.
Ahead of his time? The guy trashed Predator when it came out. Fuck that guy.
@@RhapsodyAntics Listen I'm a big horror fan and I have respect for Jason but those Friday the 13th movies are some real shit
@@sparkfilms558the thing with Friday the 13th is that they vary wildly in quality.
Collin Cochran was more sinister than Michael Myers.
But, I guess antology would be nice... maybe people should give this idea a chance.
Nickolay Semenov We could try to convince Hollywood to go on board with it, but if there’s anything I’ve learned about this series and Hollywood in general, it’s that studios are too stubborn and scarred of box office bombs to _actually_ listen and use their brains and feedback rather than money.
A Netflix series taking that approach could work.
No.. Halloween the movie is about Michael Myers. You wanna watch a different story every episode or sequel then watch Goosebumps.
themadrapper101 Shut up, Meg.
Technically, Trick r’ Treat is what the Halloween anthology could’ve been.
I agree with the anthology thing. That would be great.
They took the ideas for all of the anthology movies they WERE going to make and turned them into one movie, Trick or Treat.
Ditto, as much as I enjoy the struggles between Michael Myers & Dr. Lumis, I have to confess that the Halloween series would have been MUCH better off if they had just allowed Michael to rest in peace after part 2 and embrace the horror anthology series format instead. I can only imagine how many amazing Halloween related horror stories we could have gotten if people had been willing to give part 3 a chance. Every Halloween we could have gotten a completely new story, never knowing what creepy new tale to expect, instead of watching Myer's story get driven into the ground as time passed by. I will admit part 4 is a guilty pleasure of mine though, but I still think the anthology format would have been better in the long run.
A Netflix series taking that approach could work.
No .. That's what Goosebumps is for.
WRATH2501 There’s a Trick r’ Treat sequel in the works. At least I get a glimpse at what the Halloween anthology _could’ve_ been. I _love_ Trick r’ Treat!
So You're telling me that OCP was behind these Android's and killer masks? Everything makes so much sense now!
Well one of them kills himself, like in Robocop 2
"Trick or Treat" from 2007 is probably what Halloween series would have been like if they kept it an anthology thing. Shame we instead had to have shitty sequels with Michael becoming Jason 2.0
I actually prefer this one over the others cuz its unique and anthology would have been better i mean they probably could have brought Michael back after a while with maybe a cross between their other stories but making them all about Michael kinda got boring, i mean look at street fighter alpha anthology that game is awesome lol
William Shatner needs to be in the next Halloween movie.
I was one of the few people who actually saw this at the cinema when it came out.
"very small cinema in Manchester"
I at first was confused as we all thought it would directly follow the other 2 movie's.
And on leaving the cinema did feel both confused and disappointed.
I did however notice in tiny writing "All New" on the poster as I left.
I soon came to love this film and it now stands as one of my very favourite Carpenter connected movies.
What's great about this film is the fantastic sense of atmosphere and I for one love it.
even though it doesnt have the halloween theme music, its soundtrack is glorious, the best after the 1st movie, its a like a horror version of the terminator
Underrated film, I kind of wished the Halloween series went the anthology route.
A lot of people do, especially since the Myer's story went to shit after Halloween II IMO.
@@DLRX another possible cause is they didn’t want to scare people too hard with getting into the specifics of what Halloween truly stands for. 🤷♂️
Michael definitely should've died in 1978 (1981). I have never really cared to watch any of his movies after that. I found out about H3 on accident.
The best damn 'Halloween' movie out of all of them. It even features Michael, albeit only on TV. Biggest kill count as well. That's the way to celebrate Halloween - with a sacrifice.
I like those pumpkin mask from the movie they are so cute. I mean I wouldn't wear it out fear of dying but I would keep it on a mannequin head on my shelf.
Imagine an alternate universe where the Halloween franchise stayed an anthology series. How different things would be if it wasn't strictly another cookie-cutter slasher horror franchise like Freddy and Jason are.
If you don't like those type of movies don't watch them.
@themadrapper101 Well I don't, because all "slasher" horror movies are the same to me, especially beyond their first installment.
Masterge77 Friday the 13th tired so many times to be different after IV.
HEY! Freddy is different. Except for Nightmare on Elm Street 2. We don't talk about that one. Freddy's Dead is my favorite.
Masterge77 Well it is a genre of horror. It’s like saying all Zombie and possession movies are the same.
Saw this when it first came out in 82' and loved it. The first Halloween was a classic, the second one was, IMO, pretty stupid and all other Halloween movies after III really stunk. The MM character worked for a single movie, but the fact is, an unstoppable killing machine with really no motive is just dumb. In fact, if you want the scariest movie villains in history, just turn on C-Span. They do more damage, and kill more people than all movie villains combined.
I make it a tradition to watch this alongside Halloween ‘78, Sleepy Hollow, and Treak ‘r Treat every year. There’s a lot of films that take place on Halloween, or invoke certain elements of it, but those four in particular are the only films I consider truly synonymous with the season.... Happy Halloween >:} 😈🎃👻☠️
Scotttjt solid list....Trick r treat doesn't get the recognition it deserves imo. Such a great, atmospheric movie that really puts you in the Halloween spirit
What no Halloween 2 after the first? :O
Also The THING and THEY LIVE are great creepy movies to watch on HALLOWEEN.
You should try "All Hallows' Eve".
@@MrJohnlennon007nah, the ending of the original is perfect
I actually think this movie is connected to the rest of the series
Silver shamrock is in league with the thorn cult and they made the classic Myers mask
Its pretty simple to pull a connection that makes sense out of my ass
"Tom Atkins proves that any man is leading man material." -Saturday Night Sleepover podcast
Halloween 3 is a pretty good movie. It's got a freaky vibe to it that you just can't beat.
Here's an idea.
Start marathoning the Halloween franchise beginning at the original. After you finish Season of the Witch, follow that up with Night of the Demons (1988) and conclude it with Trick r' Treat (2007).
You could call it the "Alternate Universe Halloween Series Marathon!"
There was another Trick r Treat movie from the 80’s. Watch that one instead.
Three years for this reply, but I LOVE Night of the Demons!
my favorite Halloween, watching it on VHS now!
VHS?!
You are a loyal one.
Did you drive to Blockbuster Video to rent it in your modified '81 De Lorean, Mr. Mcfly?
@@iamnostalgic9567 VHS never goes out of style, and neither do DVDs.
@@sebastianemond5313 No insult from me dude. I actually think its awesome. I only own a few movies on VHS.
@@iamnostalgic9567 I didn't take it as an insult. I was agreeing. I still love the classics, and love it when I find old horror movies on VHS. Heck, people are getting into transfering current movies on DVD to VHS to make it retro, and I like it. I have Elijah Wood's Maniac and Ryan Reynolds's The Voices on VHS now.
Great review I'd add that the thing missed here is how the film played on the satanic panic/religious right reactionary sentiments of the reagan eighties.
The idea that the television and demonic toys were being used by evil pagan/satanist businessmen to brainwash the children was pretty much the heart of the less remembered 80s.
This was such a wide spread notion that people who thought it was ridiculous still seemed to think they should be vigilant and proceed with caution.
Taking that to a hyperbolic logical conclusion where the t.v. and halloween masks from a toy company are *literally killing* children *directly* was something that everyone involved could appreciate for different reasons.
It shows the ridiculousness of these ideas to one audience member while actually playing them up for honest horror effect for another.
Also, you really have to watch this, particularly on vhs especially, to pick up on the overall atmosphere and tone; which is creepy and dream like, and blandly sterile at the same time in a way I can't say I've seen much.
The excitement of sunset on Halloween, the safety and potential danger inherent to that eras suburban environments...I'm not sure you can pick up the whole thing unless you really experienced what that felt like, the freedom and threat of the wild savage world before they started tightening the screws on society.
Honestly while I was watching this (when it was released) I felt both cheated and confused *and* intrigued and deeply satisfied for the whole run time.
I left with a lot to think about and discuss.
This is one of the few films, all of which were in the 80s, that produced this type of experience in me.
It still puts a strange tension in my chest that feels like a kind of akward regret mixed with anticipation and excitement.
I can't think of many things that have made me feel that specific way.
It's like an odd odor that is neither pleasing or repulsive but is for some reason life affirming like the metallic fragrance of a nose bleed.
I like the fact that this channel explores movies like this.
I feel like this guy shares a lot of my same sensibilities.
By far the most unique story of this tired, overplayed franchise.
It stands alone.
Regarding the Ellie android, I always thought that the real Ellie was switched out and probably still somewhere in the factory when it blew, while Challis was unknowingly rescued the android.
Some people think Ellie was a droid to begin with, which is pretty creepy.
Night of the living insurance salesmen 😂
I loved this movie. I can still sing the song by heart. I loved the roach infested pumpkin mask.
Happy 40th anniversary to John Carpenter's Halloween!
Glad you got into Cochran’s speech there. He just seeks it so well, just a bad guy who’s a gentleman as well. I wish O’herlihey was still around as he could sell sarcastic evil really well.
This is one of my favorite movies to watch on Halloween. Thank you Brandon, you have pleased us.
Yes, this is an underrated film. Glad that it's being appreciated now.
I actaully saw this movie before i saw any other Halloween movies and i really liked it
Goddamn it, Brandon; I'm supposed to be studying for my Spanish Quiz.
How did you do?
I love this movie. I thought it was creep AF when I was a kid, and when I saw it about 10 years ago I realised how underrated it was.
In 1982 I was working at the little movie theater in town running the projector. I was 15. We showed this when it came out and I've loved it ever since. A great gothic apocalyptic tale. Oh and best job I ever had.
Jamie's character is gonna be back in the next movie because, just like H20, it will ignore all previous films.
that sucks
Yeah that little kid melting in front of his parents is still haunting.
“Night of the Living Insurance Salesmen”
14:44 I fuckin DIED when you took interest in Cochran's plan. :D
This movie is so underrated. A little ahead of its time, however not the worst movie by a long shot!! I absolutely love this movie!!
I’ve always loved this film.
Any movie that has Tom Atkins is automatically 100 times more awesome.
Y'know Brandon,I actually enjoyed your review on this movie...although this may be the only time I had to put it on mute. (Thank God for closed captions!)
I was 14 when it came out in theaters and I loved it from the start - mainly because it wasn't just another masked-slasher flick. Great stuff.
The music was cool, it had that Halloween 2 type synthesizer music. It puts you in the mood for Halloween and fall. That’s all I expect from a movie like this.
Tom Adkins makes any movie good. Even the My Bloody Valentine remake.
You so got it right about the Halloween monologue. It totally sold me on this movie when I saw it at the theater. Great piece of acting.
I had that stupid silver shamrock song stuck in my head for a very long time
I finally found out what horror movie this is I watched it with my dad when I was 6
we want halloween 3 part 2! lol.
BMS Tyty just because you don’t doesn’t mean no one wants it
Nigel Kneale may have been unhappy with it, but his influence is what makes this film so great.
I always loved this movie. I'm glad people like it more. Now, if we could get a decent DVD release.
wstine79
ScreamFactory put out a decent DVD/Blu-ray SE not too long ago, it has a so-so transfer but likely better than the DVD from Universal 14 years ago.
www.blu-ray.com/movies/Halloween-III-Season-of-the-Witch-Blu-ray/24433/
It’s likely the best this film’s ever going to get so...
EDIT: I haven’t seen it but apparently Universal put out their own bare bones Blu-ray in 2015 that has a much better transfer than the 2012 special edition from Scream factory, that’s what people are saying but I can’t verify this because I haven’t seen it yet.
They have a great Blu Ray release.
There's amazing Blu-ray and steelbook editions already. Why would they release a DVD version now?
That song and commercial really scarried me when I was a kid...
I always wanted to know of what the sequel was going to be about.
i always liked H3... especially for that jingles...
that Happy Halloween Silver Shamrock song will soon get stuck in my head every october!
Halloween 3 season of the witch in year 1982 could not be appreciated but many years later eg 2018 people see it in a different light
Its a depressing thought of what could have been, and it shows how repetitive and inside the box most people are, anyways on a more positive note great review.
King Kull It also shows how stubborn Hollywood is and how they’re mostly stuck in the past, using it as an excuse to not take chances.
OCP really was evil the whole time! AAAHH!!BTW, I think Ellie was killed and replaced by a robot.
This was the first Halloween film i've watched. So i didn't know that Michael Myers was ,,suppose,, to be in it. I liked it a lot. Than i watched Halloween 2, and the original Halloween. Complete reversal.
What's really weird is Roger Elbert's review for this. Read it. He says the film opens after Michael Myer's death from the last movie, and keeps cutting back to someone rummaging through his ashes. I've never seen a version like this. Anyone know what he's talking about? Here's a link to the review www.google.com/amp/www.rogerebert.com/reviews/amp/halloween-iii-season-of-the-witch-1982
I don't know why Roger wrote that it begins at the end of Halloween II, because Season of the Witch has no connection whatsoever to the previous two movies. And he's not referring to Michael Myers as 'the monster' who got burned up but rather the android assassin who killed Ellie's father at the hospital and then blew itself up in a car at the hospital parking lot. All that was left was burned ashes and robotic parts which were later examined by a female lab technician who was later murdered by another android after it forced a power drill through her skull.
@@sjdrifter72 he was a hack who didn't watch half of the movies he wrote reviews for. Media has always been fake bro.
I’ve often questioned his attention span
"...a joke on the children." Love that line.
Great, now I have that damned commercial stuck in my head... again...
16:25 Cochran didn't die. He got transported to Detroit where he'd become the head of OCP, the company that would later create RoboCop.
Probably the second best in the series.
At the time and to this day, this was the only one I liked of the Halloween films. I never cared for the slasher flicks. I especially loved that this one had a sci-fi overtone to it. It makes me quite happy to see that it's been re-evaluated since. I like how it stood out from the rest but was always disappointed as to how it has always been overlooked.
Halloween III has been my favorite Halloween film for 30+ years. The music, mood, and concept are terrific. This isn't a slasher flick. It's about an evil man who wants to kill as many children as possible with witchcraft on Halloween. Everyone who has said this film is dumb, just doesn't get it. This is pure evil and the horror of this seems to get lost on casual viewers. I should explain I don't love the movie because it's evil. I love the presentation.
I love this film. First Halloween movie I saw. Best sequel of all the Halloween films
Brandon Tenold, have you ever heard of a movie called Jack the Giant Killer from 1962? If so, you should do a review for it.
Yes!
No idea if you already knew this or not, but the scene where our hero chucks the mask to cover the camera was done for REAL and took over eighty attempts before he got the damn thing to land over the lens right...
Nothing's beats practical effects...oh, and this movie is fuckin' AWESOME.
16:18
Plot twist cocrin is a time lord
Damn, Cochran was trolling people before the Internet. Lol!
