As a huge fan of Halloween III: Season of the Witch, I’ve long heard the tales of the original screen writer’s contempt for the project after writing a few drafts. The film’s director Tommy Lee Wallace takes credit for the final version, but it’s long been suggested that the version we know (and love) is very similar to Nigel Kneale’s original script.
According to the article at the link below, the Kneale draft was significantly different. I sometimes (more than I’d like to admit) find myself pondering the original version, wondering if things would have been better and more mysterious. I’m now extremely grateful to discover that the Wallace version is, in my opinion, superior. Superior in a bunch of ways.
