I am either watching or re-watching the 1978 Halloween. I feel like I MUST have seen this but it stopped being familiar almost immediately. First surprise: how much the little boy who is bullied into destroying his own pumpkin looks like Amanda Plummer.
I was gonna say the first surprise was Michael Myers being able to drive despite being institutionalized since childhood, but that seems to have been explained by the Donald Pleasence accusation “Someone around here must have given him lessons”
Yes. @janiehaddad just now: “Who are these parents that make plans to go out on Halloween night?”
I hate when you spill something on yourself while cooking and have to get 99% nude immediately THERE MUST BE A BETTER WAY
A teen in this movie just said “Hey now, that’s wonderful!”
This teen was also wearing Swifty Lazar glasses
Halloween is still pretty good! By today’s standards I think it could have been scarier if there weren’t wall-to-wall keyboards, but still, it was fun to watch. Kudes, John Carpenter and company!
Now we are watching Halloween II, which I have for sure never seen, and I admire the balls of a sequel made three years later to pick up the moment the first movie left off. How many times has this been done? I would wager very few, but my church frowns on gambling!
I am already delighted to have seen the landlady from “Bosom Buddies” #HalloweenII
Young people wouldn’t know this, but VW vans were the most flammable vehicles legally permitted on the streets #HalloweenII
These paramedics are maybe the biggest creeps in cinema history? #HalloweenII 
This was VERY good #HalloweenII
LEN HENDRICKS (AMITY ISLAND PD) IS IN THIS MOVIE #HalloweenII
Michael Myers doing warmup kills in the hospital until he gets to Laurie. Hardly any of the people committed the sin of sex! I can’t remember why he wants to kill Laurie? She touched his house in the first movie? WHAT A BABY
Genuinely unsure what the hoped-for audience reaction would be here
Dr Loomis is arguably the most mentally unstable character in this movie #HalloweenII
Profound lol #HalloweenII
How hard could it be to elude a killer who is covering his own eyes? You did not need to blow up half a hospital #HalloweenII
It’s off to a different empty hospital for you
So that was Halloween II. On the one hand it wasn’t actually a good movie but on the other hand it’s over.
Can’t wait to check this one out since the main characters appear to be people #HalloweenIII
Oh, and I never caught Dana Carvey in Halloween II but I’m willing to bet I won’t think about that missed chance on my deathbed
Oh.
Okay. This is, I think, the ONLY Halloween movie that I have actually seen start to finish. I watched it when it was released on video in the previous century & I remember nothing but the lethal mask scheme & the Silver Shamrock song. #HalloweenIIII
Why are we in a hospital again. Tom Atkins is maybe the least doctor-y looking person they could have cast
“After I blew out my knee I left the Colts and thought ‘Fuck it, let’s try med school.’”
I wouldn’t hate it if these people got killed
So far the murder investigation consists of making out in a hotel and happening upon chatty drunks #HalloweenIII
Dennis Christopher?!?!
I very much do not want to be watching a romantic scene between these two people #HalloweenIII
I did not know this movie had potato bugs in it and honestly, you can spoil that for me every time and please provide a time stamp #HalloweenIII
The guy playing Cochran has been on screen for 7 seconds and is clearly having the time of his life. I like him.
He reminds of of guys that started out on a soap opera as the leading man and then stayed on it long enough to become the elderly patriarch
I would LOVE that gig for my dotage but the problem is I would have had to have been on a soap for like 20 years by now
“To sex it up, let’s have the leads be, like, a 55 year-old construction foreman and a Disney princess’s friend” #HalloweenIII
Yes I am in a PACKED theatre showing Halloween III: Season Of The Witch. People are FURIOUS with me.
I was just wondering how many people were this far into the movie and wondering why no one has even mentioned Michael Myers
Well all right
I thought this gravy-filled guy was Dennis Christopher & I’m kinda disappointed he’s not in this movie
Dan O’Herlihy is great. I forgot he was in Twin Peaks and Robocop and those two episodes of Schlitz Playhouse
“Yeah, okay so, the way the masks work is, it’s a microchip, see, and when the commercial plays, it kills the kids with, um, spontaneous generation. Like, a bunch of bugs get born because of the microchip. And also a rattlesnake might... happen.” #HalloweenIII
I was so delighted by O’Herlihy’s delight at having swiped Stonehenge that I actually let this go. That is CHARM.
It’s all film baby, I’m using a vintage Nikon and have my coat over my head in the theatre as a sort of makeshift darkroom.
I think when people say this movie is good, whether they know or or not, they are resting that opinion entirely on Dan O’Herlihy selling the shit out of his character’s story #HalloweenIII
FOH #HalloweenIII
I know it’s a movie and all but they needed to establish early in that he had incredible forearm aim way earlier in this movie, like hit it hard to the point where you were like “Why did thwy show us that weird scene?” so when this happened you could go, “Oh. Fine.”
Every time I see the two leads together I have a moment where I remember that they are not father and daughter but two people who have had sex together #HalloweenIII
Why would the Stonehenge Magic affect the robots? That seems like a major glitch. But whatever I have never built a robot nor have I stolen any Stonehenges
The villain’s comeuppance is a horror classic: his head turns into a Victor Garber cake and then he disappears #HalloweenIII
I have truly never seen an actor be able to pull off such an underwritten monologue but god damn he actually did it
Actually lol at the lady robot trying to kill the Tom Atkins with three different robot sections
Also, why was she a robot? How did that figure into the master plan?
And it just... ends. Okay! Well, that was Halloween III: Season of The Witch. I just want to say if you are a person who has long been carrying the burden of remembering this as an actual good movie, come follow me, and I will give you rest
