Halloween III: Season of the Witch

This is the third installment to the Halloween franchise. I decided to go back and finish my Halloween Marathon, even if it isn't modern. The story for this film is as the plot implies, a sorcerer's plot to destroy the world.

Made in 1982, it premiered without much success. This went against the grain and started what I call the curse of the 3 (which appears to have no ended). As part of the Halloween franchise, it failed because it did not feature Michael Myers at all-however, it did play on the cult that follows Samhain (the god that Myers is the reincarnation of). It does feature the first Halloween film in brief segments during the course of the film. It might've had more success as a stand alone film, but probably not too much more. It featured several small time actors, Tom Atkins and Stacey Nelkin. The main character, Dr. Daniel Challis, turns into a soap opera type of character-the cheesy type who gets all the ladies. The commercial also gets annoying very quickly. Conal Cochran, Dan O'Herlilhy, was a fairly decent villain though. The plot twists were kind of predictable.

I give this film a 5 out 10 stars! It was decent for the year it was made, but as part of the Halloween franchise it fails disastrously.  The effects were kind of cheesy, but then again it was made in 1982.

Answers to last blog:
Garret Hedlund turned the role of Captain American because of his obligations to Tron.
Chris Evans also starred in the Fantastic Four as Johnny Storm.
Bonus: The first comic Marvel created was The Fantastic Four!
