"The kid who played "Little Buddy" was also interviewed (wearing his yarmulka, mind you) and made a comment about how demented the premise of the film was. He said something to the effect of "Who came up with this? They should be in therapy." Kinda funny coming from a washed-up former child actor nobody."
Exactly. And did you hear what Joseph Wolf said about Halloween III in Halloween's 25th Anniversary DVD special? -

So, Moustapha had some respect for the film, but Joseph Wolf completely depreciated it.
I agree that it had potential on its own and when I view the movie now, I really like some aspects of it, especially the soundtrack."
I agree. The soundtrack made the movie! -

"Maybe the guy who played Harry Grimbridge actually wore his mask. Also his lines were more memorable than anything Marge Guttman said: "They're coming to KILL US!" ALL OF US!"
Oh yes. Al Berry, or Albert T. Berry. Have you visited his message boards? One poster in 2003 was looking for him. Another one was looking for him a year later. Some people were looking for him for some kind of convention or something. I found an article in Fangoria that talks about all the gory make-up and masks. Have you read it? -

Which lead to his demise. But it seems to me that Starker has been a thorn in Cochran's side for a long time. Every night he probably shouts obscinities or moons the cameras, but I think when Starker told an outsider about what may be going on inside the factory, plus the sassing of Cochran right in front of him, as well as his plans to burn the factory downCochran just felt it was time to put him out of the way.

"Interesting storyone of the posters on the Halloween III board actually visited Santa Mira (i.e. Loleta, CA) and took a number of pictures of "the factory" and the "Rose of Shannon Motel" (now apartments). He said that there was a real-life Starker in that town going through trash, or something like that. Cool, huh?"
Cool. You suppose that factory kept any of the Silver Shamrock memoribilia? Like the sign, some boxes, maybe masks with tags. A poster may hang in the office. Now, at what used to be the motel, does it look pretty much the same or were those buildings torn down and an apartment complex built up? You suppose there's a Halloween III poster in the office there too? -

"By the way, did you know that the secretary in the office who talks to Tom and Stacey also was the voice of Gozer in Ghostbusters?"
Paddi Edwards, that's right.
I wonder if many of the extras in the movie were people around Loleta. Interesting that the extras all got tailor-made gray suits. It would've been nice if some of them were credited, as some of them16d0, like the one who killed Harry Grimbridge, created important plot points.
Would you happen to know the location of the movie's establishing shot? The overpass where Harry is running from the gray-suited men. Somebody said it was in southern California. -

I wished that she hadn't dropped the coin so soon. If that ray had shot up in her face a little longer, maybe she could've gotten some snakes to come outta there. Who knows, maybe even a beaver and a few frogs too.

Yeah, Happy Halloween. Poor Santa Mira. It was probably a huge damper on morale having your kid and all his/her friends turned into piles of bugs and snakes. No one could bolster the strength to make new babies. Too bad, because little ones make the world fun.
