You must see this movie. Do whatever it takes: try to track down an old VHS copy at the local hole in the wall video store, set the VCR to tape it when it comes on at 3 a.m. on TBS, go back in time to 1995 and download it from Napster, whatever it takes. You owe it to yourself to see it before you die. It is tremendous on so many levels. That is all. Spoiler 8 more days 'till Halloween, Halloween, Halloween! 8 more days 'till Halloween.. Silver Shamrock!
Your post reminds me of my uncle telling me the first time his friend got a VCR. It was in the 70s and his friend paid something like $700 for one. My uncle said it was awesome, we finally had in home p*rn, I could watch Taboo from the comfort of my couch. LOL!
Oh, you can grab the DVD at Best Buy from the bargain bin. It's something else. Technically, you've got John Carpenter to blame - he wouldn't agree to letting the franchise continue unless they agreed not to focus on Mike Myers. This movie helped him see the error of his ways.
Yea, Halloween 3 is one of those movies that was so bad, that it became a cult classic in its own right sorta like "Killer Klowns From Outer Space". I actually remember seeing a little bit of this movie when it first came out (it came on TV shortly after it bombed at the box office). All I remember was the scene where the kids were watching some TV commercial and they had these pumpkin/jack 'o lantern masks on and the commercial had some song that caused bad things to happen and then snakes started coming out of the kids' masks. That was when I pretty much said okay time to go watch something else.
I wouldn't call it a cult classic. It's just a classic bad movie is all. I actually watched it not too long ago. The song isn't anywhere near as catchy as I remembered it. But man, the protaganist and the antagonist are just soooo bad. And not powerglove bad either. ehhhheheheheh phantasm for the win.
I still don't understand how we were supposed to just accept a mask with pumpkin ornament on it would trigger to some stupid song and cause the wearer to vomit bugs and snakes??? Gayest concept ever!
