Halloween 3: Was It Actually Misunderstood?

Halloween III: Season of the Witch spent years being dismissed as the Halloween movie without Michael Myers. But did it really deserve all the hate? In this video, I look at why audiences rejected it, the failed plan to turn Halloween into an anthology series, and why the movie becomes so dark once Silver Shamrock’s real target is revealed. Judged as a direct sequel, the disappointment makes sense. Judged as a standalone horror movie, Halloween III has far more going for it than its reputation suggests. Do you think Halloween III deserved the backlash? This video contains spoilers.
