I play one of my old favourites: Kid Chameleon .

Not exactly the most popular Halloween sequel upon its release, Halloween III: Season Of The Witch pissed people off for several reasons: 1/ No Michael Myers, 2/ It was the start of an anthology series of films not involving anything from the first two Halloween movies, and 3/ No witch. In retrospect, this whole anthology idea was really not a bad one. Also, as a Twilight Zone -esque piece of random horror weirdness, Season Of The Witch worked very well and managed to not only be effective with its overall slow-building mystery but with its gory/creepy moments. Plus it was completely out of its mind, which is always good with that kind of movie. It's a shame the film didn't steer the series towards that direction seeing as all the other Halloween sequels were either underwhelming or just plain dire but it's easy to see why, at the time, it didn't take off. For one thing, we go from a relatively straight-forward slasher story to something pretty surreal and out-the
