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.
