    TEACH 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. 🎃 🎥

    What if Wicked was released in 1900? Here is my take on the book cover / movie poster using the designs W. W. Denslow and John R. Neill did for L. Frank Baum's original books. (I made the Witch green more for colour scheme but also it's fairly significant to Maguire's book)

    I recall some folks complaining that Eggars made a movie where New England witches were real, but that's what makes The Witch interesting: it's an exercise in taking the worldviews of the Puritan settlers seriously, in all of their repression, hysteria and terror.

    Went to see Nosferatu and enjoyed it! My favourite Eggers movie is still The Witch but it was still a visual treat. I got a little restless in places where my brain wandered off but that might be a more of a me problem.

    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.
