One of the most underrated horror films of all time! Setting, atmosphere, scenery, and score. It's all so dark, and mysterious, and eerie. LOVE this damn movie
-
THIS IS THE MOST UNDERRATED OPENING CREDIT SEQUENCE IN THE HISTORY OF FILM!!!!
-
You can always tell when it's a John Carpenter music score. Love this!
-
One of the most creative and ingenius movie openings ever :)

The first time I heard of H3 was in study hall my HS freshmen year. It was October 1982. Some kid was telling me about Halloween 3 Season of the Witch and that he wanted to see it. I was pumped because I liked H1 and H2! Finding out from him a week later that Michael Myers wasn't in it I was pissed and didn't bother going to see it. I rented it on VHS a year later and enjoyed it. H3 turned out to be one of my favorite horror movies!

You can say what you want about this horror but one thing is assured, if you like it you have good taste!
-
I love the opening being a electronic version of the standard pumpkin from the first two, it’s very clever
-
I'll admit I was confused too. As a 15 year old renting the VHS of this I was expecting a Michael Myers slasher flick. Now as as 40 year old this is one of my favorite films of all time. I think a lot of that has to do with the synth music as heard here. I keep coming back.
-
This may be the most ominous opening credits for any film. Masterpiece music and minimalist visual.
-
I wish the series had stuck to the direction of telling a different story every movie, sticking to Michael Myers all the time really sunk the series.
-
It took 40 years boys but I think this film is finally getting the love it deserved.
-
This opening is excellent, and probably my favorite part of the movie. Not to say I didn't enjoy the rest, but this sequence is so good that it just stands out that much.
-
When I saw Halloween Ends, I expected the usual orange letter intro like the first two, but this one was blue. It took me a minute but I realized this is the reason why. That’s great artistic choice!
-
This opening is incredible.
-
It's even better when you've seen the movie once already and know the context of this electronic, flashing pumpkin image.
-
Creepy synth theme is awesome. I like this movie a lot more than the other Halloween sequels. I dig the tone, atmosphere of it.
-
It has one of my favorite John Carpenter synth scores, some of Dean Cundey's best cinematography and some really amazing scenes. The framing of a lot of the shots is amazingly well done. I love the far off shots of Santa Mira with the sun rising on the horizon, the misty hills, the Silver Shamrock factory in the distance. The music is eerie and elegantly subtle. The movie is very simple and the pacing is well done--something most horror films today cannot come close to pulling off.

I get you. There was somethin about the 80's era in horror films that's just amazing. I remember visiting my local movie store just to look at the VHS covers.
-
I love this movie. It doesn't deserve the hate that it gets.
-
Grossly underrated film. Highly original, very sinister and better than the crude slasher Myers films. My favourite opening credits music here.
