i.e. in the series.

I fucking love it, but wonder if it would still have achieved cult status.

It's got a contrarian following that likes to claim that the only reason it's maligned is because it was in the Halloween franchise.

I like it well enough, but that's mostly Steve Atkins.

it 100% is. most of the "THIS SUCKS CAUSE MICHAEL MEYERS ISNT IN IT" died out a long time ago and it's been looked on mainly for how fucking weird and incredibly gory it is for a long time

halloween becoming atrociously bad over the years after reinserting michael probably helped too

This, i don't think it's a cult classic. Carpenter is to blame for attaching the name to it, had the name not been attached then i don't think it would have been shit on. People were pissed because Michael wasn't in it. Can't blame them either because everyone assumed he was in it because he was in the previous movies.

That's kind of one of the inherent aspects of a cult classic. Otherwise it would just be a good movie.

Exactly. Kind of how I view 2001 Maniacs. Jesus what a weird, awful movie, but damn it's still fun.

You'd be hard pressed to find a movie that doesn't have some cult following but Halloween 3 is not a cult classic. The yea-sayers only seem to have popped up recently and the only discussion anyone has about it is "What if it wasn't Halloween?" People can barely justify it beyond faint praise. Evil Dead it is not.

I've only seen it once which I believe was a year ago. I might rewatch it this year, since I already watched Halloween 1 and part of Halloween 2.

The song is catchy

I remember watching it when I was.. 9/10? The scene with the mask on the kid (leading to his death) creeped me out a lot more than actual slasher moments with Michael

I didn't like 3 when I first watched it but that was in my early teens. I think I need to give it another shot.

Carpenter's original plan to have the Halloween series be more of an anthology would've worked if Season of the Witch was the second installment rather than the third. Having the first two films centered around Michael Myers gave the impression that Halloween as a movie title = Michael Myers. That gave people the wrong impression when SotW came out. A two-parter may have worked later on in the anthology, but to start off with a two-parter just damned the idea from the start.
