Halloween III: Season of the Witch, soo misunderstood!

Sure some of you are saying "There is no Michael Myers in this one, what did this have to do with the first two? or the series?" well i believe this highly malgined and unloved Sci-fi horror thriller is very good.

You see folks, you have to realize that Michael Myers died at the end of "Halloween II", John Carpenter with Dino De Laurentiis studios and Debra Hill with Moustapha Akkad had an idea to make the series into a big-screen horror anthology series much like "Creepshow" or "Tales from The Crypt" centering around the halloween holiday which would have been better if the Halloween sequels continued this route to do something different instead of the same old Michael. Unfortunately it bombed at the box-office and was panned by both critics (Even though a few of them liked the movie) and horror fans alike thus the anthology idea was scrapped and Michael returned in "Halloween 4".

I thought this was an interesting movie that combines occult horror with technological sci-fi much like "Event Horizon" or "Evilspeak", it's got a great Carpenter score and a good storyline with a fine performance by tom Atkins who's good as always in his movies with good splatter.

Just suspend your disbelief over the title and enjoy the movie for what it is.
