KyleQ (267 KP) rated Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) in Movies
Jul 18, 2020
I'm sure this was a strange movie to watch when it came out what with it being titled Halloween III, yet it had no connection to the first two. But nowadays, this should be considered a fun Halloween-time classic.
Director Tommy Lee Wallace learned from watching John Carpenter. In turn Halloween III benefits from a good score, if the main song isn't stuck in your head by the end, it'll be a miracle.
The tone is overall good, it is a bit cheesy but it maintains it, it comes across more as a fun B-movie.
Visually the film packs lots of Halloween-time images. It might not fit the franchise, but it nails the setting.
You definitely can't take it very seriously.
Halloween III: Season of the Witch is like going through a haunted funhouse. Expect genuine scares and you'll be sorely disappointed. Expect to just have fun, and you'll get plenty of it. I recommend it.

The plot: When the only daughter of a Boston homicide detective, Thomas Craven (Mel Gibson), is shot on his doorstep, everyone assumes that he was the intended target. Then evidence suggests otherwise, and Craven sets out to find her killer and, in the process, uncovers her secret life, corporate coverups, government collusion, and murder.
It was based on the 1985 BBC television series of the same name, which was likewise directed by Campbell.
Additionally, Gibson and his crew set up shop for filming in western Massachusetts, with 180 staff staying in Northampton hotels. They shot in various locations in the Pioneer Valley, including Tully O'Reilly's Pub, the Northampton Athletic Club, and an older part of the Hampshire County Courthouse, all in Northampton. Also, Sugarloaf Mountain was shut down for a few days while they rented it out. They also filmed at the Notch Visitor Center, Rt. 116, Amherst.
Like I said before a decent action film.
