Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) cast
Wiki Article
The scary movie's tag line is "Witchcraft enters the computer age, and a different terror begins."
There were a lot of people who enjoyed the movies Halloween and Halloween II, but they did not go out in droves to see Halloween 3: Season of the Witch in 1982. The obvious explanation for this is because, in contrast to the other flicks, Myers did not make an appearance in this one.
Carpenter want to start an anthology series with Halloween 3: Season of the Witch. A new Halloween film might be released yearly around the holiday, portraying a fresh narrative. It was a fantastic idea, and I wish they would have had the chance to develop it further. It was not to be, though.
Dr. Daniel Challis (Tom Atkins) faces a peculiar case days before Halloween when an elderly patient killed using a Halloween mask.
When Dr. Challis and Ellie (Stacey Nelkin) find the Silver Shamrock in Santa Mira and Ellie's dead father, Dr. Challis goes to investigate. This company's marketing strategy features a catchy tune that will stick in your head. Every state in the union has bought and worn a Silver Shamrock mask in some form or another.
(A milk factory served as the location for the Silver Shamrock plant.)
Conal Cochran, the CEO of Silver Shamrock, is also planning to murder tens of thousands, if not millions, of people. Dr. Challis and Ellie dig further into the situation and learn that the CEO, Conal Cochran (Dan O'Herlihy), is urging children to tune in to a special Halloween night presentation. They should still dress up and watch it.
Despite its variations from its predecessors, Halloween 3 is still a fun, even fun flick. Halloween III has no link to the first Halloween or any of its characters, including Loomis, Laurie, or Haddonfield, save for a few short sequences.
The film isn't flawless, but it does have some memorable passages. Cochran put his ingenious scheme to the test on Buddy Kupfer's family, whom he offered a V.I.P. tour of the facility due of the number of masks he sold.
Little Buddy is confined to a small room where he wears the mask and watches the Halloween-themed television program. Is Halloween 3 John Carpenter it any surprise that things quickly devolve into an uncontrollable carnage? This Halloween, Conal Cochran takes us on a fascinating journey through the history of Halloween.
It's no secret that I'm a fan of the Halloween films, including the ones that followed Halloween III: Season of the Witch, which all featured Michael Myers again (Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and Halloween V are both excellent horror films). Having said that, I can't help but wonder what stories might have been told had Carpenter and Hill continued working on that initial plan for the series.
In my opinion, Halloween 3 didn't do enough to win over supporters. The culprit is the one who inserted the "3" (which led people to believe this was yet another sequel to the classic).
The fact that I truly loved Halloween III: Season of the Witch makes the staggering mess of Carpenter and Hill's premise all the more comprehensible.
The director is Tommy Lee Wallace.
The cast includes Dan O'Herlihy, Tom Atkins, and Stacey Nelkin.
