Leave your thoughts about Halloween III: Season of the Witch.
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenThat plot gives you an idea of how casually insane this movie is, but if you’re able to radically suspend your disbelief (the story is an illogical shambles), the film offers a number of modest pleasures. |
| VoxAja RomanoThis movie is a dirty trick on all Halloween fans. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanIt is high time for viewers with a hang-up to reevaluate the pleasures that Halloween III: Season of the Witch has to offer. |
| IGN DVDR. L. ShafferHalloween III: Season of the Witch might have been hated back in the day, but it simply doesn't deserve the anger and animosity nowadays. |
| MTVCharles WebbIt's a movie about the widespread death and destruction via techno-magic and it's just a huge disappointment that it took years after its initial release for Halloween III to find an audience. |
| IGNR.L. ShafferThe film is creepy, violent and sometimes very clever. |
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasOnce the action shifts to the dead-eyed denizens of Santa Mira, the remote town that Silver Shamrock calls home, the film becomes a sly and creepy indictment of corporate engineering. It’s not what Halloween fans wanted—and Wallace rubs it in by showing a couple of clips from the original film on TV—but take the Halloween part away and Season Of The Witch is a standalone oddity worth considering on its own terms. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyMr. Wallace clearly has a fondness for the cliches he is parodying and he does it with style. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderWere it not for the middle 30 minutes, which take approximately 73,000 hours to watch, forgetting it would be easy. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.It's no wonder they gave up after this, and brought back Michael Myers. |
