Product: Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
Rating: 4.0
A New Approach
Do not expect to see Michael Myers killing any family members in this one. John Carpenter decided to do a whole new story with Halloween 3: Season of the Witch. In this movie, we meet a new villain by the name of Connell Cochran who runs a factory which makes Halloween masks called Silver Shamrock. The movie begins with a man being stalked by two other "men" while carrying a Halloween mask. The man passes out at a nearby hospital and is eventually murdered by one of his stalkers. His daughter hears about the news and teams up with one of the doctors from the hospital who also knows that something very wrong is happening. Their search leads them to the Silver Shamrock factory which is located in the small village of Santa Mira. Along the way a few unlucky characters cross paths with Cochran and his army. One thing that I really enjoyed about this movie was the surprise ending. If you are a true Halloween fan, than you will eventually see this movie as it really is. An attempt at taking Halloween in a new direction. Twenty years later, how many of you wish that this worked?
