Halloween 3 is brilliant and I'm glad it's getting the love now.
Wasn't until several viewings that I noticed Atkins character is a functioning alcoholic who is always looking for the next drink (or has a drink in hand) in most scenes.

I stopped with Halloween after the fucking atrocious second Rob Zombie film. Is the new trilogy any use?

Def check out the first one, I'd say it's the best Halloween film aside form the original one (and possibly 3, which obvi isn't Michael Myers). It's genuinely a good film in it's own right. The second is worth a watch too, the third is a real wtf (in a bad way) film.

Yeah the other night was about the third time I've seen it and I was just beginning to pick up on that too. There's a few scenes where he just needs a drink, like right now  I was wondering if the implication was that his ex-wife had driven him to it since they make it out like she's a complete shrew.

Speaking of wives, in In Search of Darkness, Atkins mentions that in the motel scene where he's riding the younger woman, the other woman next door (in the 'face' scene) is his real life wife! He said it was awkward

I think his character in 'The Fog' is also a bit wayward. Prob not a film for 'modern audiences' as he picks up Jamie Lee Curtis in his van (truck?) , as a hitch hiker, and next thing they're in bed. Great movie though .

I think he's a bit of a 70s macho guy stereotype in general. Sure in Halloween 3 he's flirting away with every woman he meets, slapping the ass of his co-worker and stuff

I love the bit where he escapes, finds a phone and rings his ex wife to warn of the danger their kids are in.

"You gotta burn those masks...what?... No I'm not drunk!!!!"

The OG Halloween after all the talk here. Don't think I had seen it since I was a kid. Amazing. Very Jaws like in the musical tension and the ominous presence.

On Weapons there's talk of a prequel about Gladys. He had filmed a chapter on her but didnt put it in the movie due to its running time. He said during the week theyre in talks for a full film. Nice.

Good shout. Could make a cool X/Pearl/MaXXXine type trilogy.
