October Countdown: Season of the Witch (1972)
When I look over my shoulder (what happens then?)
What do you think I see?—Donovan
That’s the more recent Lana Del Rey version embedded above. In fact, when I look over my shoulder, I see FOUR films entitled Season of the Witch, and we’re reviewing all of them this bountiful weekend as a part of our Halloween Countdown.
The first and best of the lot was filmed by George A. Romero in 1971 and… more about its tortured release history appears below, along with a review.
October Countdown: Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
The Halloween franchise set aside Mike Myers for its third film, a bizarre supernatural/SF mystery thriller that underwent numerous rewrites. I find it not as bad as its initial mainstream critical reception—but nowhere near as good as its eventual cult following claims.
It’s Halloween in the 1980s and it’s most definitely the Season of the Witch.
October Countdown: Season of the Witch (2009)
Our next Season of the Witch was made earlier in this century, but it appears to take place in the 1970s.
If you decided to sell, say, all of your clothing, you would probably have the budget to finance a film of similar quality.
October Countdown: Season of the Witch (2011)
Our final Season of the Witch is the most recent (though I believe a documentary by this title also exists). Its budget dwarfs that of all previous Seasons combined.
Alas, money alone does not a good film make.
