#Halloween 3 season of the witch movie
Fans, however, made it clear that the franchise should center on one thing only – the main man of movie monsters, Michael. The idea is to conjure a different monster every sequel and build something of a Twilight Zone -like anthology all set in Halloween. Rather than repeat themselves, the studio opted for a different story that shares only the tone of the previous films. So why bench Michael? The original idea for the third Halloween film is to introduce a new story that’s completely removed from the first two, which delved largely into debating whether or not Michael’s evil was nature or nurtured. Strip him away from the franchise, and you get a reaction as crude as what Season of the Witch had received. The personification of evil, an entity made unambiguous and inextinguishable. What sticks among the rest, however, is Michael Myers. Of course, there’s John Carpenter’s deft direction, pulsating score, and the blunt conflict central to the film. It’s clear how people derided Season Of The Witch, but oddly, reappraisals three decades later give it a significantly greater value as a capricious entry to the franchise-albeit a squandered one.įans consider Michael Myers the lifeforce of the first film, Halloween. The film would earn an $11 million gross, making it the poorest performing Halloween film commercially. Both critics and audiences disliked the absence of Michael Myers, indeed the centerpiece of the original Halloween film and its sequel, Halloween II. When it first opened in 1982, Tommy Lee Wallace’s Halloween III: Season Of The Witch opened to an unforgiving reception.
