MOTS-O-Ween 2017: Halloween III: Season of the Witch

October 31, 2017 Steve Ormosi MOTS-O-Ween 2017 2749

For this year’s MOTS-O-Ween finale we take a look at “Halloween III: Season of the Witch,” the left-turn sequel that inspired this year’s theme. Michael Myers sat this one out, and instead we’re given a candy bag full of robot assassins in business suits, Stonehenge core processors, masks to die for, medical mustaches, catchy jingles and a joke on the children.

Happy Halloween!
