Which is a load of BS
In the world of horror sequels it stands tall above the majority of the Halloween,Friday 13th and Elm St efforts.
It pisses all over Friday 13th part 5,The curse of Michael Myers,The Dream Child etc etc etc.
What do you want?
Maybe Carpenter should have followed part 2 as he did part 1 and made the same film 3 times!
Even he had the wisdom to bow out after number 3(he had to be dragged kicking and screaming to do 2)
SEASON OF THE WITCH is eerie and some of the deaths are creepy as hell,the synth soundtrack is AMAZING and its some of J Carpenters best work.
Plus it made a change to have an 80s horror flick which didnt involve a screaming chick being chased round by an inbred/psycho with a meat cleaver(insert instrument of death of your choice).
You say its crap because its basically about an evil corporation that sells masks that kills kiddies who wear Halloween masks ,sure its a daft concept but this is HORROR where you can be killed whilst dreaming,be chased round a warehouse by a foul mouthed possesed doll and be given the finger by your own severed hand...maybe it aint that daft after all then.
This movie when it was released was different....and thats what this is all about because its different and it doesnt have Michael Myers killing people in it AGAIN.
and that is why it gets ripped.
Yeah I agree.I mean as far as sequals go at least it was much better than those crappy Halloween sequals-The curse of Michael Myers and that last god awful Halloween Resurrection movie.I'll take this movie anyday of the year over those two crappy halloween sequals.Like you said,just forget its called Halloween 3 and called SEASON OF THE WITCH instead and its actually a pretty good movie.
