HIT US UP:

[CharlesXavier]

Cochran didn’t die. He got transported to Detroit and became the head of Omni Consumer Products (OCP) that would later go on to create RoboCop.

[MrHDE-exxl]

I like how Cochran was all cool when he simply smiled and clapped his hands...as if he was saying "You've won the battle, but you lost the war."

[Bayan]

An interesting concept, John Carpenter never wanted the Halloween movies to be all about Michael Myers, he wanted a different story with each film, then the film company overrode him and dumped a bunch of horrible sequels on us. Would have loved to have seen the ideas he could have come up with every year or so.

[DarkWolf-]

Having Loomis as a recurring character throughout the anthology would have been cool.

[gagecrawley]

Cochran is like "Congratulations. You didn't stop shit."

[MystikWizard]

Such an innovative way for a villain to die ... disintegrated by the power of Stonehenge, with his own magic and technology backfiring on him. I loved the long shot as he prepared for his death, as well.

[dillonkinder]

that smile and when he claps gets me everytime

[capeck]

That's a smile that says.."You may have won this time, but I'll be back..."

[happy_stickman]

The 34 dislikes are people who missed the giveaway at 9

[EddieFelson]

One of the most underrated villains in motion pictures

[gameroftheyear]

That smug smile he makes when he "dies" 2:23

[rocksoliddude]

Darn he was the good guy in Robocop but a bastard in this

[cartoonperson]

Curiously, Cochran is played by Daniel O'Herlihy, a very good character actor - he was also the alien, Grig, in The Last Starfighter

[PhilAndersonOutside]

Cochran was a great bad guy. Right out of a James Bond movie.

[RealTreyOlds]

It’s ironic really even though Cochran is defeated in the end his plan works he wins

[matthewJ]

Still having Atkins is what makes this movie great

[BrettMannion]

The franchise is not called Michael Myers, its called Halloween, so there is no logical reason for people to insist Michael Myers be in it.
As for those wishing it was called Season of the Witch rather than Halloween III: Season of the Witch, remember that there is already a movie called Season of the Witch, so in addition to it being an alternative concept to the previous two Halloween movies, there would be the issue of copyright infringement.
This was a great installment in the Halloween franchise. End of discussion.

[mrhorrorjunkie]

I don't think that killed Cochran. I think it teleported him somewhere else. I have a feeling it did.

[KnottsBear-yTalesPreserved]

He's Mr. White Christmas, he's Mr. Snow!

[Zero]

I kinda feel like Stranger Things got a lot of it's "vibe" from this movie.
