i watched the producers cut though. it expained alot more and was just overall much better than the original release. check www.arrowinthehead.com in the review section and check the comparisons he makes.
i think that the witchcraft ones and halloween III shouldn't have been added into the series. The rest I enjoyed, although none as much as the orginal two.
Why would she go to a homicide hospitol or w/e you said? When they realized it was an accident and he was still alive, they would have set her free.
And isn't the curse thing done now? He killed his whole family.
wikipedia says this: after succeeding in crashing the van down on a steep slope off a mountainous highway. Laurie beheaded a costumed and masked man. when it was discovered she killed an innocent man, she was arrested for homicide, shortly after laurie was committed to the psychiatric core facility of Grace Anderson sanitarium. the curse isn't over until all relatives are dead including distant relatives. Sara moyer is related in some way and so the curse continues until she is dead.
tommy lee Wallace directed H3, Wallace was the art directer and production designer for john carpenter's original Halloween and previously declined to direct H2 in 1981. After H3, Wallace directed other Halloween such as fright night 2 (1988), vampires: los muertos (2002), and the miniseries IT (1990) , the television adaption of the Stephen king novel. H3 opened on October 22, 1982 and earned $6,333,289 in its opening weekend, it grossed a total of $14,400,000 in the united states. but it was the worst performing Halloween film at the time. it had to compete against ET which the domestic gross is ($435,110,554), poltergeist ($76,606,288, Friday the 13th part 3 ($34,501,514), creep show($21,022,755), and also john carpenter's the THING. the biggest reason why it didn't do so good because it had nothing to do with Micheal and the title should have been changed to fit the plot which it disappointed Halloween fans because they expected Micheal again. it had nothing to do with the original Halloween series. I don't know why Wallace wanted it to be different than the original, it was a mistake that almost cost the original Halloween series because it had brutal competition against other hit movies during that time which brought a revival in alien and horror movies. had Wallace waited longer and changed the title and waited once the ET frenzy settled down then it might be successful. good thing that it did because people came to believe that it destroyed the Halloween series and it ended for good until 1988 when part 4 came out which brought new interest in the series which was almost at the point of being forgotten.
Those are a lot of figures but don't answer klaus kinski's question at all.
Wallace wanted to take the series into new places. His intention was that "Halloween" wasn't to be exclusive to Michael Myers, but a series of unrelated horror movies (kind of like Creepshow).
This idea didn't respond well, as the third movie in the series is a terrible place to execute it. If Season of the Witch was the second movie instead, they might've had a better following. Since it wasn't, and it was the third movie, the idea was shot down.
Six years later, it was time to continue the series for the disappointed fans who paid to see Michael-less Halloween 3. Halloween 4 was the return of Michael Myers, who will never die.
they might had a better showing if it was the second movie. but still no Micheal=no money. it was desperately hard for it to compete against movies I listed above especially ET in 1982. Had Micheal been in it would have a chance to do good, but since it didn't, the movie didn't have much of a chance. the plot of the movie was kind of cheesy, the plot had potential but it needed work. the movie wasn't horrible, it just wasn't that good period, like I said it had potential. I just wished the title was changed to the season of the witch, instead of H3. this is the kind of movie that should never exist in the Halloween series.
