Tommy Lee Wallace's Halloween III: Season of the Witch
One year after Halloween II, Director/Producer/Composer John Carpenter and Producer Debra Hill came up with some new ideas for the Halloween series. After this movie failed at the box office, Moustapha Akkad decieded to bring back Michael Myers in a good way, and he did.The story takes place in a California town named Santa Mira instead of Haddonfield. It has a man named Grimbridge who is wounded by an assasin. Grimbridge is taken to a nearby hospital and is treated by Dr. Daniel Challis(Tom Atkins). Later, an assasin kills Grimbridge and later lights himself on fire. Challis teams up with Grimbridge's daughter Ellie(Stacy Nelkin) about finding information for her father's death. They go into Santa Mira and are captured by the new villian Conal Cochran(Dan O'Herihly), the president of the Silver Shamrock, a mask industry. Challis manages to escape and save the day.There were many problems with this movie. The commercial that kept playing got on my nerves so much. Without Michael Myers, Laurie Strode, or Dr. Sam Loomis the movie didn't stand much of a chance. The ending is even weirder than Halloween 4. Many people hated this film, but I thought that it was okay. Not the worst of the series, but near the bottom of the list. The ending is weirder than Halloween 4. It shows Challis watching the TV and on the phone in a gas station with the television networks saying,"Turn it off! Turn it off! Turn it off!"....
