The Original ‘Halloween 3’ Teaser Trailer Was Pretty Great
The night NO ONE comes home.
For many years, Halloween 3: Season of the Witch was the bastard child of the Halloween franchise. The 1982 film took a huge risk by attempting to re-brand the series as an anthology of unrelated tales, but when fans just weren’t into the idea, Michael Myers was brought back into the fold. These days, however, Halloween 3 is a HUGE fan-favorite.
It may have taken a couple decades, but the oddball third installment has finally been embraced for what it is rather than disregarded for what it’s not, and many fans have come to realize that the Halloween film without Michael Myers in it is actually a whole lot better than some of the films he was in. The bold move has paid off all these years later, and it’s kind of wonderful.
Halloween 3 was released on October 22nd, 1982, and audiences got their first taste of the film earlier that year thanks to a teaser trailer that was nothing short of a total mystery. In the 40-second tease, a spider emerges from the mouth of a witch mask and then a set of eyes appear within the mask… and that’s really it. Can you imagine how confused people must have been, seeing this back in ’82? ‘Where’s Michael Myers?!’ they must’ve thought. ‘What the hell is this?!’
They just don’t make teasers like this anymore. Check it out below!
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
