Halloween 3 sucks.

I have always avoided this movie because people said it was terrible. In the last few years, many reviewers like Redlettermedia actually claim it's a great movie only bugged down by the franchise name.

I gave it a shot yesterday and well, it does sucks. The main character is gross. The plot involving an Irish -American town, druids, a magical stone, sacrifices and robots(!) is fucking stupid.

The idea of halloween masks fusing to kids' faces was great to begin with, but they did nothing with it. The boy turning into bugs and snakes after being killed by the mask seems like something a 9 years old would think of. If the main character is a doctor, why not have a kid brought to the hospital with a mask fused to his face as the inciting incident? That would have been a much better start than silly men in suits killing people.

I disagree. Other than the 2 Rob Zombie movies, this is the best Halloween movie

I'd watch this before the OG any day. I'd also watch Black Christmas before this or the OG.

I really liked it. It was better than most of the others.

THE ORIGINAL AND THIS ONE ARE THE ONLY "GOOD" MOVIES IN THE SERIES.

You are fucking dumb. I wish I could be more polite, but your comments don't allow it.

it's not that bad, people hate it because of the "Halloween" in the title
if it was called anything else.. it would be a camp classic

I agree, this movie is just plain stupid, I don't get the love for it. I disagree with you on the other Halloween movies, though. The first one is great and genuinely creepy.

I always hated this as a kid because Michael isn't in it but as an adult I have grown to love it. If it was named anything other than Halloween 3, it would have been a hit. How about The Mask Factory as a title? With the tagline: What are they really making?
Or.. Countdown to Death Day? Or Silver Shamrock ☘️ : A company known for making quality Death!
