Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)

Check out the all new HALLOWEEN III page at SET-JETTER.COM





With 2013 being the 35th anniversary of my all time favorite, Halloween, I wanted to update my filming locations for the series, which have been scattered throughout my blog.  I will update these pages as I add new locations and cast or crew.

For other locations from the Halloween series, click on the link below:

Shot mostly up in Loleta, the film did have a few locations around the Los Angeles area.   The opening of the film is up in Sylmar, California....

  5. Million dollar question - where is the hospital from H3? I've never been able to find info on this location. The scene when Shamrock robot kills the girl's father and then blows himself up in parking lot while Dr. Chalis looks on, etc. Let me know if you are aware of this location. Thanks!

    2. I found the hospital a few months ago. It was the Pacoima Lutheran Medical Center in Sylmar. See http://www.ohmb.net/showthread.php?17635-Halloween-filming-locations-master-list&p=1329793&viewfull=1#post1329793

  8. THANKS! Great work- Love It! I remember the premier 33 years ago- Tonight!

    I was young enough to be VERY nervous about seeing this in the theater- So when I saw "Northern California" (which is where I was), "October.. Saturday the 23rd"... (which was TOMORROW)... well, it was at that moment that this flick became one of my ALL-TIME favorites...

  9. I went to see this at the theater and it scared me something terrible. I was only 11 at the time but it was terrorizing 4 me in 82. It is now one of my favorite Halloween films. I watch it every year around Halloween; and the soundtrack is amazing. I believe the music adds more of a fear factor to the movie. I see some of the movie locations on the internet, and it's great. THX for the additional movie locations.
