Halloween III: Season of the Witch - Why the Myers-less Sequel Became a Cult Classic


Listen Later

"No Michael Myers. Just masks. And mayhem."

Join host Benjamin Schneider with special guests Kathryn Horan and Rob Kyle as we dive into one of horror's most infamous cult classics: Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982).

We explore the cursed masks of Silver Shamrock, the bizarre blend of witchcraft and sci-fi, and why this controversial Myers-less sequel was reviled upon release but has since earned a devoted cult following. From its earworm jingle to its dark corporate conspiracy, we discuss what makes this misunderstood VHS-era oddity worth revisiting.
