Product: Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
Rating: 4.0
Scream Factory is phenomenal!!
This film is not perfect. It's a little bit laughable at points. But it has always been one of my favorites, particularly to watch around Halloween time. The new Scream Factory edition is so great. For me, trading in my bargain basement Video Treasures edition for this one was beyond an upgrade; it was a revelation. It was almost like seeing the film for the first time. The special features got me wondering what might have been. Can you imagine if there had been a string of anthology-like unrelated sequels all set at Halloween instead of the pile of crappy Michael Myers sequels and remakes that followed? It was a grand idea, but the marketing alone seems to have sunk this film. Billing it as Halloween III set up improper expectations.
