The cult of Halloween III: Season of the Witch is largely the cult of Silver Shamrock.
#Halloween jibber jab movie
Halloween III is filled with sticky elements, above and beyond the conceptual perversity of making a Halloween movie with no Michael Myers and witch in the title but no actual witches. There will be plenty of mask-related horror, but absolutely NO Michael Myers. A LOT of crazy shit, but here’s the important part: absolutely none of that crazy slasher in the mask that everybody loved from the first first movie. Instead it’ll be some crazy shit about evil Halloween masks, robots, Stonehenge and orchestrating mass child death through television commercials so popular kids are literally dying to watch them. This is going to be a Halloween movie all right, but Michael Myers won’t be in it all, beyond an archival-footage background cameo. So you mean he won’t be the only killer, there will be another mad slasher as well? Maybe a red herring or a rival kind of situation?”Ĭarpenter and Hall chuckled and responded, “Nope. That inspired lunacy begins with Halloween maestro John Carpenter and Debra Hill basically telling a horror audience enraptured of Michael Myers, “Hey, you know how you LOVE Michael Myers, how he instantly became a huge cult icon and pop culture dynamo? Well how would you feel if we were to give you a NEW Michael Myers movie and-here’s the fun twist, Michael Myers isn’t in it?”Ī confused horror audience answered, “Well, we LOVE the part about the new Michael Myers movie but we’re not crazy about the whole no Michael Myers thing.

With Halloween killing it at the box-office, we figured we’d nominate a pair of off-kilter Halloween sequels in the form of “Not the Tommy Lee with the Enormous Penis and Sex Tape” Wallace’s trippy cult 1982 mindfuck Halloween III: Season of the Witch, a movie that features no witches and has no thematic connection to the action of the first two films beyond John Carpenter’s classic fright flick appearing on television sets in the background and Rob Zombie’s Halloween II as well as Rusty Cundieff’s recent surprise direct-to-video sequel to Tales From the Hood. With Halloween in the air and the screams of werewolf victims lingering everywhere, we decided it would make sense to pair Mandy, our Scalding Hot Take, with an ooky, spooky horror sequel.
