10 Things You Learn Rewatching Halloween III: Season Of The Witch (1982)

10. The Opening Credits Are A Great Intro

The opening credits of Halloween III serve as a pretty perfect opening salvo, preparing audiences for what is to come.

Once again we're looking at a jack-o-lantern, but this time the opening shots are of flickering bits of static as Carpenter and Howarth's all-new Main Title theme cues up, and orange lines begin to fill up the frame. After several shots of this, the camera pulls back to reveal that the entire time, viewers were witnessing a jack-o-lantern being digitally constructed on a computer.

Not only does this specific digital jack-o-lantern wind up being of great importance later in the film, it offers a meta-riff on the original while doing something distinctly new and different, much like the film itself.

We're definitely not in Haddonfield anymore...
