Product: Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
Rating: 4.0
A Pleasent Change
Halloween III is quite underrated by people who probably didn't watch it all the way through. I think this is a positive sequel.Simple-minded horror goers are disappointed that Michael Myers doesn't return.So what? If you want more of the serial killer,go back and watch the other sequels. I view it as a refreshing change. The movie takes place in Santa Mira,CA where a warlock controls everything.Bizarre events happen in this "company town",but I won't give away too much. The directing by Wallace is well done and the music score by Carpenter/Howarth is actually BETTER than in the first two movies(listen for those "stingers"),almost Gothic. Halloween III has a dark atmosphere which is captivating. Perfect October viewing. Keep in mind the late Gene Siskel gave this movie a thumbs up also.
