THIS IS THE MOST UNDERRATED OPENING CREDIT SEQUENCE IN THE HISTORY OF FILM!!!!
-
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
-
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 always tell when it's a John Carpenter music score. Love this!
-
This may be the most ominous opening credits for any film. Masterpiece music and minimalist visual.
-
It took 40 years boys but I think this film is finally getting the love it deserved.
-
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.
-
I love the opening being a electronic version of the standard pumpkin from the first two, it’s very clever
-
You can say what you want about this horror but one thing is assured, if you like it you have good taste!
-
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.
-
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.
-
And 40 years later, the opening credits to Halloween Ends would use the same font and color of the opening credits from this film.
-
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.
-
Creepy synth theme is awesome. I like this movie a lot more than the other Halloween sequels. I dig the tone, atmosphere of it.
-
Happy 40th anniversary to this movie!
-
Of all things, I never expected Halloween Ends to actually use the same font style as Season of the Witch. It looks great tbh.
-
I come here after watch Halloween Ends. When I saw the blue titles I knew immediately that they were a reference to Halloween 3, it was a amazing reference! 🎃💜

I still don’t understand how the music go so perfect with the opening making the Halloween face
