WEEKEND TRIPLE FEATURE: HALLOWEEN BASH (PT. 3)
TRIPLE FEATURE #3: Under-Appreciated Halloween Horrors
Halloween III: Season of the WitchUnfairly maligned over the years, I think this movie has finally started to find an audience of appreciative fans. But sometimes it's hard to judge how people feel outside my immediate circle of friends, so if you still think of this movie as "the lame one that doesn't have Michael Myers in it," get with it! This is by far the best of the series after the untouchable first. If only John Carpenter's movie had been a little less lucrative maybe they would have followed through with their plan to release a different, unrelated Halloween-themed movie every year instead of banking on the dwindling creative returns earned by trotting out poor old Michael Myers and getting him involved with such lamentable movie sink-holes as the Cult of Thorn and Busta Rhymes. This one stars Tom "Thrill Me" Atkinson as a disgruntled doctor investigating a sinister plot involving children's Halloween masks. The truth behind the mystery is so outrageously absurd that I won't spoil it for those who haven't ever watched this (or read Wiley's blogpost lower down on the page). All I've got to say is check it out. This one is unique.
