Halloween 3, hated by many loved by, erm… one or two, and that one or two just so happens to be me, well when I say love, I don’t "love" it, I think of it more like a pet. Anyway, the reason this movie is disliked by Halloween fans is that it has absolutely nothing to do with Michael Myers, totally ignoring the previous films, although Michael does feature briefly on a TV commercial.

A patient has his head popped by an unidentified man in a hospital. The man then retreats to his car and explodes. The only witness to this is Dr Dan Challis who investigates and comes face to face with the sinister figure of Conal Cochran, who makes Halloween masks. Not content with making Halloween masks alone, Cochran is also intent on reviving the rites of All Hallows Eve, a night of ancient sacrifice when, long ago the hills ran red with the blood of animals and children. Put these two things together and what do you get? Halloween masks which melt your face, and cause snakes to pour out of your skull! Woohoo!

For Halloween 3, John Carpenter handed the job of directing over to Tommy Lee Wallace and instead produced the movie. It is thought that Carpenter wanted to move away from the Michael Myers theme, to stop the series from becoming a Friday the 13th clone. Carpenter also wrote the music which although not as great as his score for Halloween, is pretty damn good. Halloween 3 also has an incredibly annoying "Silver Shamrock" song which is played almost continuously throughout the movie.

Despite the absence of Michael there is definitely the feel of the first movie, with the dark lighting, and harrowing score. A ridiculous cliché filled story-line Halloween 3 is probably not recommended for Halloween fans but should provide a treat for the horror fan who has seen everything.
