Is the general derision of Halloween 3: Season of the Witch down to it being a bad horror movie, or because it does not feature the unstoppable killer Michael Myers, I wonder?
The Invasion of the Body Snatchers-style conspiracy theme, the sharp-suited corporate robots, "8 more days 'till Halloween!" and the diabolical engines at work in those masks that turn kids' heads into masses of ghastly writhing insects all work well and make this a memorable horror film indeed.
Cannot help thinking it would be better appreciated under an entirely different title, but you can't blame producer John Carpenter for attempting to divert the Halloween series away from endless resurrections of his once scary bogey man.
