31 Horror Movies in 31 Days (2015): Halloween III: Season of the Witch
Halloween III: Season of the Witch
Every kid wants a Silver Shamrock mask for Halloween, but the toy company hides a horrifying secret behind its consumer-friendly image.
Yep, watched it again this year. Well. 'Watched' might be a strong word: the friend with the yearly rewatch had a housewarming party and I may have been distracted by booze, a drinking game, and kittens. One of them was so small he fit in my hand!
Anyway, because I watched this last year and everything from that recap still applies, I'm going to be lazy and just paste last year's text here:
It took pretty much the entire evening to get the Silver Shamrock jingle out of my head. Then I started on this and it came back. Dammit.
I'd always heard about how bad a movie this was, but I was curious because the original idea behind the Halloween series - that each film would be a unique story centered around the holiday in question - sounds interesting. A friend of mine has a yearly watch, so I went over last night because horror movies, good or bad, are more fun in a group. It wasn't nearly as awful as I expected and I think it would have gotten a better reception released on its own rather than as part of the Hallowe'en series.
