OK so first off, the movie was never, ever going to be a true sequel, yet the title was Halloween III from the start. Makes no sense, yet there it is, a baked-in paradox. See, H3 didn’t get made because the backers wanted something different, it got made because they wanted John and Debra, wanted them badly enough to accept the fact that our two were all done with babysitters, Michael Myers, the mask, and the knife, and if they were to be involved, it would hafta be something completely different on the subject of Halloween. That’s the whole story, and therein lies the contradiction. Looking back, it seems clear to me that had fans of Halloween I & 2 been fully aware of this simple fact, they might’ve gone along with the new direction, might’ve even enjoyed what they saw, and we might’ve made it through OK. Who knows? Without the backlash — “Where the hell’s Michael Myers?” — and given H3’s late-blooming but evergreen popularity, we might still be cranking out new movies on the “spooky season” year after year, even after all this time.
But that’s not what happened...

Forty years after it was filmed, I watched the DVD last night, and was still frightened. It's a creepy film, which if you are making a horror film is a good word to use in a review.
I jumped at the ending, that I was not expecting, both indicators that the film works well.
As a graphic artist I enjoyed the opening credits where the jack o lantern was being carved with horizontal lines of a TV monitor and how the circular configuration of the computers at the Silver Shamrock factory mirrored the circular arrangement and pattern of the stones at Stonehenge.
It is nothing more than a mild, lighter-than-air reminiscing from director Wallace.
I enjoyed reading and learning about the Wallace/Carpenter connection in their Kentucky youth followed by their USC days and early film success. All the way up until the H3: SOTW production it was good.
What I was looking/hoping for was... How were H3 scenes thought out? How were actors directed through each set piece? What were the conflicts/challenges in shooting a scene? In shooting ANY SCENE? The Kupfer family murders... on-set perspectives in filming it? Directing the child actor? The insect/reptile wranglers? Reactions to the scene from crew members? From studio execs?
The book does not include any of that. The dissolving of Kneale's participation in the production is the only aspect given any legitimate, satisfying attention.
Either more information should have been inquired about from Wallace or other cast/crew perspectives should have been sought out. A 200 plus page book that includes 100 pages of images/memes from the internet and fan made items available for purchase... that's unacceptable for a book sold at this price.
Halloween 3: Season Of The Witch is THE stand alone film in cinema's most popular horror film franchise. It has divided audiences reactions but its notoriety is unanimous. The movie's production deserves a more proper attention than given here.
Sadly, this tome is Conal Cochran's revenge from beyond the grave.
