Review – Halloween 3: Season of the Witch

De da de da de da de da it’s four days to Halloween Halloween Halloween it’s four days to Halloween Silver Shamrock. After you see this entry in the Halloween series, that’ll be stuck in your head for about a week. And if you’ve already seen the movie, just reading the lyrics here probably has it stuck in your head again. Well, for that I apologize. This is a true oddity in the realm of the sequel: a movie with absolutely no apparent connection to either of its predecessors. In fact, it doesn’t even seem to have a real firm connection to its own title (aside from the plot revolving around potentially lethal Halloween masks, one of which looks like a witch). Even though Tommy Lee Wallace wrote and directed, this still has John Carpenter stamped all over it. In other words, the basic premise is interesting, we get a few bloody murders and suspenseful moments along the way, but in the end the picture just doesn’t live up to the promise. Mildly amusing
