60 of 348 · most liked firstTEACH THE CONTROVERSY: not only is Halloween III: Season of the Witch the best of the Halloween sequels, but if they had gone with plans to make a Halloween-themed anthology film series rather than a "Michael Myers kills errybody over and over" film series, we might've gotten much better stuff. 🎃 🎥

neutral · AI labelView post →The movie HALLOWEEN exists in the universe of HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH and it's a shame they didn't stick with the anthology format where the previous film is a film in the sequel's universe. We could be watching HALLOWEEN sequels that are now a dozen universes removed from the original.

neutral · AI labelView post →HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH (1982) All of the sequels/reboots are hot garbage. None of them are even about Halloween masks that kill kids--one of the greatest concepts in movie history. On top of that, none of them star my main man Tom Atkins.

Tonight's feature was, indeed, [Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085636/). I'll be honest, I went into this one with fairly low expectations. I knew exactly two things about this movie before tonight: That it was completely unrelated to the plot of the first two movies, and that this was the first one not written by John Carpenter and Debra Hill. They do both return as producers, and Carpenter once…

It's got a creepy concept, Tom Atkins is great, and I love a horror movie that plays into the themes of Halloween itself

In the closing act the villain (a 'druid') reveals his motivation for planning the murder of thousands of children by claiming that child and animal sacrifice was an integral part of the festival of Samhain.

positive · AI labelView post →”it looks like a good movie just not a good RESIDENT EVIL movie” this is a terrible point. people say the same of my darling Halloween III but it has the music, the cinematography, the ATMOSPHERE of a Halloween movie, just a different story. The games barely have the same vibe as one another.
