Our take on the Halloween II / Halloween III: Season of the Witch (DVD)

A two-film DVD pairing the 1981 hospital-set sequel Halloween II with 1982's Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Halloween II picks up the same night as the original, with Michael Myers stalking Laurie Strode through a hospital while Dr. Loomis uncovers the reason behind the killings. Halloween III drops Michael Myers entirely for a standalone story about a doctor tracing a deadly mask maker, Silver Shamrock Novelties. The set suits franchise completists and slasher fans who want the Carpenter-and-Hill-written sequel and the odd, divisive third film together.
