Halloween 3 Made the Right Choice by Getting Rid of Michael Myers

In 1978, John Carpenter introduced audiences to Michael Myers in the original Halloween. Michael quickly became one of the most iconic villains in the horror genre, thanks to his horrifying mask and complete lack of conscience. Michael survived several gunshots and a stumble off a roof, returning to kill again in 1981's Halloween 2. The sequel's ending left Michael's fate much less ambiguous, as the villain seemingly died in a fiery explosion alongside doctor Samuel Loomis. With the story seemingly concluded, 1982's Halloween 3: Season of the Witch shifted focus as the only film in the franchise to leave Michael Myers behind.
