I looked on wikipedia about Halloween 3 and that it was produced on a budget of 2.5 million, Halloween 3 grossed 14.4 million at the box office in the united states. it made the poorest film in the Halloween series at the time. I didn't like it and I slept through most of it and I never could get the plot of the movie. john carpenter didn't direct this film, it was tommy lee Wallace and he also directed Stephen king's it, carpenter did the music.
actually he didn't look like Jason but Micheal myers. except he was younger and Micheal was 21 at the time. they didn't kill him he was walking across the street and the police car was driving too fast in the neighborhood and the car hit him into a truck and the cop fell out before the care blew up. they didn't walk away and just ignore it, Micheal was much bigger problem than a car exploding. it was dealt with but in a desperate way while trying to capture Micheal at the same time.
the movie was never part of the storyline and it should be renamed to something else because it had nothing to do with Micheal myers. it wasn't even directed by john carpenter but by tommy lee Wallace. I don't understand why it is even named Halloween if Micheal is not in it. I think it would have alot more money and less criticized if the movie was named something that would fit the movie. it did cause a gap between part 2 and 4.the second one was in the early eighties and the 4 one was in the late eighties which gave it enough time not to rush into making other sequels as soon as the second one ended and gave fans a fresh new series.

Whoops 😮
I meant micheal, not jason 😛
However, by the way I precived it thats how it happened 😬
They didn't plan on Halloween to be associated with Michael Myers. If H3 was successful, H4 would've been another completely different story, as would H5 and onward. People didn't respond to it (with all good reason, the third movie is a terrible place to try something different) and they brought back Michael for the rest of the sequels.
Halloween H20 was much better than Halloween 3. Halloween 3 would have more success if the title was changed. Halloween fans back in the day expected this to be another Halloween with Micheal as usual. I think that the previews back then took the Micheal fans off guard because it didn't have Micheal in it and it pretty much confused them to the point that they would simply not see it because halloween wouldn't be halloween if Micheal is not in it. When I saw the cover of Halloween 3 I thought it was just another movie with Micheal in it but I turned to see the credits on the other side of the case and Micheal was not on the back of it like he usually is on the front cover of all his sequels. So I was thinking well maybe Micheal is in it even through he wasn't in the previews. So I watched it and I was disappointed and just plain bored to the fact Micheal was not in it. I was thinking who ever directed this movie what is he thinking to name a movie Halloween without Micheal in it?
I can't see how an advertisement would be misleading, making the audience think a character is in it without actually telling you "He's back" or showing at least one scene with him. Any movie that features Michael Myers would surely show him in the trailer.
The back cover of the VHS tape clearly says that it's a completely new story and has nothing to do with the previous Halloween movies.
And Halloween H20 was dull.
