10 Underrated Horror Film Sequels That Deserve Another Chance This Halloween
5. Halloween III: Season Of The Witch
If there's one thing horror fans don't really like, it's change. So you can imagine the uproar when it was revealed that one of the most beloved horror franchises of all time, Halloween, was ditching its main character Michael Myers for a new anthology structure that would swap in different plots and characters with each new movie. Of course, that idea didn't stick, and the iconic villain was brought back for plenty more outings once this experiment was over and done with. Fortunately though, while it might not have resonated with fans at the time, decades later audiences can look at Halloween 3 for what it is, without the baggage and stigma that sank it upon its first release. Viewed in hindsight, Season of the Witch more than stands alone as a well-executed and daring experiment, boasting a pulpy horror story that makes it a must-watch for die-hard fans of the genre every single Halloween.
