    Well Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys sold millions of records. Doesn't make them any good. I think 'Halloween' and similar franchises are testament to the fact that horror fans and general movie goers by and large are more than content with recycled, mediocre garbage.

    I don't think enough people know about the reasoning behind Halloween 3, so it just gets panned as a bad movie in the franchise due to not following plotlines of the first two movies.

    John Carpentar wanted to experiment with the series, and each film after the first two were to be different stories about something horrible occurring on Halloween night.. but no one cared for the third one and now, it's just got a bad rap all around.

    As far as bad series go, I think Candyman should have stopped at Candyman.

    The way I understand it is the first one was a hit so the movies studios pushed for the 2nd film.After that Carpenter said he was going back to his original idea of having a differnent movie every Halloween.
    It's a shame it never happened this way.



    Nice user name by the way.
    I'm sure others will think so too.

    I think Friday the 13th and Halloween both had chances to go in completely different directions with their series.

    Part 3 with Halloween and Part 5 with Friday. Instead they brought back Myers in what I feel is a weak Halloween 4 however I thought Friday 6 was a breath of fresh air albeit a different Friday the 13th in many ways from the previous 5.

    That's what brought on Halloween 4. Studio says, what the hell were you thinking? And they try to painfully get it back on track. Resurrection has to be the worst, though.. when you bring in random rappers into horror - it's over. Might as well head to outerspace. Looking at it that way.. it's kind of nice that Rob Zombie tried to restart the thing. I don't care for either, though. I just refuse to be harsh on Halloween 3 - cause the ending is sweet.


    I picked this user name so long ago.. I joined in March... I don't know what happened.

    The Halloween franchise is a flop IMO because they abused the fuck out of the original idea. Only so far you can take a masked man with a knife.

    Agreed.

    III was great without MM.

    I think with Halloween, if Carpenter wanted his original idea, he shouldn't have left the ending open with Michael disappearing.

    However, I really can't see a series of completely unrelated films doing well in the long run. The series COULD have been brought back with the H20 line because I REALLY liked H20, but I think after the first 15 minutes of Resurrection they killed it again. After the first 15 minutes of Resurrection, Michael should have found John and went after his ass. That would've been a movie I would have enjoyed.

    Only one problem.

    Josh Hartnett was a nobody in 1998.

    5-6 years later, no way barring overpaying for him would he come back to the series.
