Well, we’re in the spooky season again, and I’ve got a hankering for some Horror. This time, I thought I would continue down the franchise hole and look at the infamous third movie. Now, third movies tend to have a bad rep in franchises. You rarely see anything that is truly awesome in the third installment. Usually, they’re either disappointingly good or just all-out bad. For every Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, you’ll get an X-Men: the Last Stand, Spider-Man 3, or Beverly Hills Cop 3. Recently, we’ve seen this happen with Tron: Ares that was just released in theatres, and you see how that’s being received. I already knew that “Third Movie Problem” would show up there.
Today, I got three movies from different series. I thought I might as well watch the series I’ve looked at in previous years. First up, we swim for a bit in Jaws 3-D from 1983. Next up is Howling 3: The Marsupials from 1987 which is one I’ve never seen. Finally, we get hellish with Hellraiser 3: Hell On Earth from 1992. My last pick was going to be Blade: Trinity, but after watching it and Blade 2 recently, I think the Daywalker needs his own post. I also thought Halloween 3: Season of the Witch would make it here, but I’m just not ready for it yet.
