It's Halloween which means it's time for my annual reminder to give 1982's Halloween III: Season of the Witch another shot if you haven't lately. Best remembered as the only Halloween movie that doesn't feature Michael Myers, writer/director Tommy Lee Wallace's film is often overlooked or simply written off for this reason. This is a wrong that I'm trying to right because Season of the Witch is a well-made horror/sci-fi film that I believe enjoys an entirely different fate if it's released under any other name than the popular Halloween franchise.

Starring Tom Atkins as a medical doctor who uncovers a plot to mass murder children on Halloween night as part of the Gaelic festival Samhain, Wallace's movie is creepy, weird, gory, fun, slightly ridiculous, and extremely watchable all at once. It even has a touch of social critique embedded by positioning the powerful company Silver Shamrock Novelties as the ultimate evil and society at large as witless consumers who blissfully march to their deaths in exchange for Silver Shamrock's coveted Halloween masks. I'm not saying it's the best horror film ever made, or even the best film in the franchise (John Carpenter's original is untouchable in that respect). Just that it's much better than most give it credit for. Give it a watch/rewatch and let me know if you agree.

Before you run off to your Halloween plans, stick with me a few more minutes for this week's Top 5:

Covering All Hallows' Eve

Let's face the facts: Halloween is the best holiday of the year. It features all the festive vibes of the others minus the awkward family time. When's the last time you were cornered into discussing politics with your Confederate flag-waiving third cousin during Halloween? I rest my case.

To help celebrate the greatness that is All Hallows' Eve, this past week we rolled out four different features relevant to the holiday. Watch our video for the "weirdest horror movie kills" above, check out Adam's ranking of each Halloween film, peruse what we think are the 20 best horror soundtracks, and consult our list of the best movies to watch on Halloween not named "Halloween".

New 'Suicide Squad' Images

With the movie just over nine months away from release, Warner Bros. hit the promo trail hard for David Ayer's Suicide Squad this week. Click here to browse all of our recent coverage or check out some of my personal favorites such as Jared Leto discussing his approach to playing The Joker, Will Smith on Deadshot's love triangle with Harley and Joker, and this batch of new high quality images from the film.

'Our Brand Is Crisis' Coverage

Can we all just agree that politics are the worst? All right, really Katherine Heigl movies are the worst. But politics are a close second. I hate being cynical, but the constant self-promotion, posturing, and truth-bending inherent in the political process is a huge turn-off for me. These loathsome things can, however, make for good comedic drama.

Enter David Gordon Green's Our Brand Is Crisis. Featuring a stellar cast and apparently a keen eye on the salesmanship of politics, this is one that I need to check out soon. For more on the film, check out Matt's review, Steve's video interview with Anthony Mackie, watch the cast play "Save or Kill", and watch the cast talk about memorable moments from shooting the film.

'Supergirl' Takes Flight

CBS' Supergirl series premiered this past Monday night to a huge audience (beating out both NBC's The Voice and ABC's Dancing with the Stars) and rave reviews. You can click here to browse all of our Supergirl coverage of late or save yourself a bit of time and check out these highlights: Dave's review of the pilot from Comic-Con, our video recap show, and Christina's conference call interview with star Melissa Benoist and executive producer Andrew Kreisberg.

Hollywood's Diversity Problem Confirmed

Speaking of female representation and empowerment, we shouldn't be shocked to learn that, on the whole, Hollywood does a poor job of supporting either of those things. Surprised or not, it's unsettling when the actual numbers are put in front of you. Check out this study from the Center for the Study of Women in Television & Film and ask yourself whether or not it's simply a lack of interest in the profession that leads to 85% of the top 700 films released in 2014 being directed by males.
