Wes Craven is considered one of the "Masters of ", and his pedigree certainly lives up to that title.  With films like Last House on the Left, and the A Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream (he didn't write Scream, only directed) series under his belt, you can almost expect any film bearing his name will surely be good, and at the very least entertaining.  With all that in mind, let's take a look at his 1989 film Shocker

Halloween III: Season of the Witch

Halloween 3 1 Halloween III: Season of the Witch III is one of the strangest movies in any movie franchise.  As I've mentioned before in a previous post, it's a sequel to film that it has absolutely no relationship to.  While it  can be said that they tried to incorporate the Silver Shamrock company into the later films of the franchise, it's pretty clear that beforehand they really didn't have any intentions of keeping this film in the continuum of the world that gave birth to Michael Myers.  In fact, the only appearance of Michael Myers in this film is a brief clip from the Halloween of Mr. Myers walking down the stairs as a promo for a broadcast of the Halloween movie.  So while the intent of this movie was supposed to be a telling of a "halloween story" after Myers death in Halloween II, this movie is really about Dr. Dan Challis (Tom Atkins) and the Silver Shamrock company.
