Regardless what you think of the film, I think everyone can agree that the one-sheet for HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH slaps. Slaps hard. Slaps your mother, slaps your father, and especially slaps your annoying bitch of a little sister. This is an iconic image, folks.
However, have you ever seen this?…
This is the original Universal Pictures trade ad artwork for the film created in the first half of 1982. It’s a truly stripped-down concept to say the least, and was obviously crafted before the script had totally coalesced. Having said that, this ad is distinguished by acknowledging the ‘tech’ angle that featured prominently in the film. Seemingly none of the artwork that followed closer to the movie’s release in October 1982 ever again addressed that.
