John Carpenter wishes Halloween 3: Season of the Witch had been more successful. 'I wish it had because we could start telling other stories. People wanted to see Michael Myers once again. So there you go.'
John Carpenter explains why he wishes Halloween III: Season of the Witch was a hit among audiences. Carpenter is the director who began the Halloween franchise, directing Halloween in 1978. After Halloween, Carpenter stepped down from directing other films in the franchise but went on to direct other classic films such as The Thing. In subsequent Halloween films, including Halloween II, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, and this year’s Halloween Ends, Carpenter acted in a producer role.
Interviewer: I don’t think Halloween III gets the love it deserves. Would you be doing something else entirely if it took off?
