Great movie, awesome DVD package
First off, I'm sick and tired of all of the bad reviews of "Halloween III: Season of the Witch". Clearly, it was a bad idea to name the film "Halloween" and I'm sure that in hindsight it would have been just named "Season of the Witch". That being said, the venom that most people spew at this film is based totally n the fact that it is a Halloween film that does not include Michael Myers (although this is kind of a lie since he does appear briefly in an advertisment for Halloween playing during the film). The film itself stands up quite well, and is as creepy and terrifying a film as you will ever see. The acting is expertly done and the story is effective. It was meant to be an ongoing series (according to director Tommy Lee Wallace) whereas a new Halloween film (holiday based, not Michael Myers based) would be released each year with the holiday being the common theme. I dearly wish they would have been able to keep it going.The DVD package is awesome and includes many extras that I never imagined would be available for this film. The picture doesn't look any better, but the DVD is worth its weight in gold thanks to the extras. Top notch job by Shout! Factory!!!
