Product: Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
Rating: 4.0
different and scary...
I loved that they did a totally different (and really cool) story for the halloween series, but at the same time, kept a link to the other films through the soundtrack (also performed by Carpenter). The other music theme is the shamrock song, which is just london bridge is falling down with different words. The horror in this film actually got to me bad. The whole town where the factory is located has a martial law curfew which disallows citizens to go out after dark, rubber mask that have chips in them that causes childrens faces to melt/break open and spiders, snakes, roaches, and crickets come come pouring out of every orific after a TV commercial is played. they actually showed this happening to a child while his parents watch in horror. To me, thats scarier than a psycho-killer in a bill shatner mask going after fornicating teenagers. my complaints, however, are with tom adtkins as a really unpleasant "heroe", and, this will sound weird, the fact that adtkins gets to the bottom of all whats happening. I didn't like the cult/stonehenge thing at all. I think that this movie would be way scarier if you never got to know why any of this was happening, that their was some evil toy company annihilating children on halloween for no discernible reason. the ending is of the everybody dies variety. recommended.
