Halloween III: Season of the Witch

In Defense Of: “Halloween III: Season Of The Witch” (1982)

It's no secret that the death of Michael Myers at the end of 1981's Halloween II was meant to be permanent, allowing the Halloween franchise to spread its wings, leaving behind its iconic masked killer to head out into new territory and become an anthology series that could tell all sorts of new tales wrapped up in the spirit of the season. For John Carpenter and Debra Hill, the Myers story was done, and thus Halloween III: Season of the Witch was born, hitting theaters just a year after Halloween II with the two series creators stepping back purely into producer roles so that Tommy Lee Wallace – a frequent Carpenter collaborator at the time – could take on writing and directing duties.

Child's Play 2

In Defense Of: “Child’s Play 2” (1990)

Nearly thirty years have gone by since everyone's favorite killer doll, Chucky, was introduced to the world in November of 1988 through Child's Play, and it didn't take long for the character to ascend into pop culture, standing shoulder to shoulder with slasher icons of the era including Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees. To say that he arrived at just the right time to be relevant would be an understatement, as the franchises of many of his famous contemporaries had either begun to dwindle in popularity or were on the verge of their downturn as widespread interest in the subgenre was waning.
