Why Halloween III Isn’t Part of the Michael Myers Saga
Although it carry “ Halloween ” on its deed of conveyance , Halloween III : Season of the Witchisn’t part of the Michael Myers sagabecause it follows Carpenter ’s original plan for theHalloweenfranchise . When Carpenter and writer Debra Hill were approached about making a thirdHalloweenmovie , they only agreed on the consideration that it was n’t a continuation toHalloween II , meaning no Michael Myers . In addition to that , Carpenter and Hill ’s original plan forHalloweenwas for it to be an anthology series of horror movies taking place around the night of Halloween , and for them , Michael Myers ’ write up came to an end withHalloween II , so there was no need to retain on that line . Instead , Michael Myers and the firstHalloweenmovie were treat as part of a movie withinHalloween III , which is why Silver Shamrock ’s mien in the reboot timeline produce so many questions .
