Come with We Got This Covered as we provide critical, need-to-know information in this defense of the first sequel to 1990's Tremors, 1996's Tremors 2: Aftershocks.

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.

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.
