watch the magic pumpkin

It's still early yet, but my friend Jeff promises this will be the internet's foremost resource for Halloween III enthusiasts. The first real conversation we had (at a bar) involved him asking me what I thought of Halloween III and me replying "Oh, that's one of the most hackneyed pieces of garbage..." after which he revealed it was his favorite film of all time. And in the 7 years since, rarely a week has gone by where Halloween III, Dr. Challis or Stacey Nelkin have not come up in our conversation in some way. Jeff has travelled to Loleta, California, where Halloween III was shot, skulking around familiar setpieces and frightening the locals. He's made mortal enemies on Ebay.
Jeff used to like to brag that he could go to a bar and loudly bellow "I have more Frankensteins than anyone else here." But Halloween III is his mainline of choice, and no green-skinned, bolt-necked, stiff-as-a-board misunderstood monster stands a chance in the face of millions of children's heads exploding in a shower of bugs and snakes. How could it?
