The only remote relevance they have, is that Halloween was playing on one of he tv's in the bar in the movie. If named something completely different, it could have been one of those cheesy, but kickass movies.

It was NEVER suppose to be a saga about Michael Myers - NEVER, PERIOD!!! According to John Carpenter it was going to be a series about various spooky tales not related to Myers, but the studios wanted money and since Micheal was a money maker it became about him. Which also explains his departure from the Halloween series after Season of the Witch, which is HIGHLY overlooked and also why the rest of the films SUCK.....BAD!!!! Also part III had the best music done by the man himself.

It was never meant to be a saga at all. Then they tried something different with H3 and people were pissed so they went back to their roots

Also part III had the best music done by the man himself. pretty well said. they were going to relate every movie to halloween, sort of like a tales from the crpyt or twighlight zone thing. i think that idea would of been better than take the first halloween and adding more stories on it. john carpenter and debra hill didn't even intend for there to be a sequel...but sequels happen when money is thrown around. i thought the second pretty much set the series up for terrible films for many years to come, but idk...thats just me. i think if they wouldn't of sequeled halloween and did the whole concept they intended to, i think john carpenter would still be doing it today. halloween 3 is an awesome movie...and i agree on the music. the tv commercial tune was a spooky one.

To tie Halloween III in with the first 6 movies it's pretty simple. All you have to do is pretend like the dude who makes the masks that screw with the kid, is part of the "Thorn Cult". lol

The original is the best.
And to whoever was saying that RZ's Halloween is NOT a gore-fest needs to re-watch the film.

The original is the best. And to whoever was saying that RZ's Halloween is NOT a gore-fest needs to re-watch the film. Even the unrated uncut directors DVD does NOT have that much gore. Pretty much ALL of the killings are done out of camera view and the only "gore" is when the camera pans back and you see the victim dead in a pool of blood. It is not at all like most gorey movies where you see the stabbings and the killings. - The bully gets killed while the camera is spinning around looking at the trees. - Ronnie gets his throat cut which isn't that bad. The only thing even CLOSE to gore in the movie. - The boyfriend gets his head hit with a baseball bad while on the floor and out of view, we only see a bloody head when the camera pans back AFTER the death. - The sister gets stabbed while the camera is on Michaels mask and then walks down a hallway getting stabbed from BEHIND so we don't see anything. - The nurse gets killed with a fork and we see it over a blurry black and white TV monitor. - Debra Myers commits suicide off camera, you just hear the gun shot. - The one janitor gets his head hit on a wall (lame). - The other janitor gets a TV dropped on his head and we see if from his POV and we don't see it happen. - The secretary gets killed off camera, we just see her sitting there. - All the guards are killed off camera, we just see them laying in the hallways. - The Truck driver gets stabbed in the gut and we don't see it. - The dads death happens in like 1 second and you see nothing. - The mom gets her neck broke and he basically just turns her head slightly and you just hear it break. - Lynda gets strangled naked, not even any blood. - Steve gets stabbed to the wall from a camera angle thats dark and like 10 miles away. - Paul gets killed and hug off camera, we just see the aftermath with him hanging with a pumpkin on his head. - Annie doesn't die - Loomis doesn't die. - Laurie doesn't die. - Michael gets shot out of the cameras view, you just see blood splash Laurie's face. So really, you don't ever see Michael Myers "kill" that many people. 90% of the deaths occur off camera and we just see the aftermath of the dead body. So unless you consider un-realistic puddles of clearly fake blood to be "gore"...thats all there really is. To me "gore" is when they actually SHOW stabbings, killings, try and make it look realistic where the knive actually goes in and they use fake body parts to tear apart. Puddles of fake blood doesn't mean "gore" to me. For a Rob Zombie film I was actually disappointed at the LACK of gore.

- We clearly see the knife enter Judith's stomach when she is stabbed.
- If you don't consider the bully's death as gory, I really don't have a reason to keep arguing.
- There is blood all over the Strode residence, and Mason's head is slashed open. Gore is visibly plastered across his face.
- The only reason the TV death is tamed is because Mane dropped the actual television during filming. It was supposed to be an on-screen death, with the television crushing Ismael.
- The throat slitting was gore. Don't argue that.
- We see a knife enter Joe, and the aftermath IS gore. No way around it.
This film might be tame compared to some other films, but to say it wasn't gory in the least is ridiculous.

I think you are just sensitive to horror violence, yeah I came up with that because I just can't call it gore. Gore will make me cringe, SAW is gore. Somebody getting stabbed in the stomach is not gore, it's violent but not gore. I will need to watch it again and look for this so called gore and if I see it I will change my mind about all of this but I can't remember there being gore, and that was the one thing I was worried the movie would stoop to and was glad when it didn't.

The violence wasn't realistic. Maybe that's all I'm saying. It was over-the-top. Of course it wasn't anything like a SAW film, but the two films are polar opposites. Well, at least you had the maturity to excuse my opinion politely while still defending yours. Most would just flame me, explaining how wrong I am. And no, I'm not sensitive to horror violence. Really, the only thing to ever make me cringe or think about is the pit of syringes in, yes, a SAW movie.
