An Evil Version of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory
HAPPY THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY, MICHAEL MYERS!!!Laurie Strode and Michael Myers were both in the psychiatric hospital when "Halloween III - Season of the Witch" was filmed. They needed a rest. This shouldn't keep you from watching this underrated gem that serves up more gore and tension than its predecessors. Millions of innocent lives are threatened throughout the country in this conspiracy horror film.Instead of Michael Myers, we have another madman who is a Druid, Conal Cochran, who owns a toy factory, Silver Shamrock Novelties. This factory is an evil version of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. It is producing novelties of horror intent on killing children. Cochran owns the town of Santa Mira where the factory is located. It has a six o'clock curfew and cameras monitor everyone's movement and, instead of oomph oopas, an army of killer androids operate the machinery."Halloween III" has quite a bit of suspense and tension. As the hours and seconds tick by, the viewer is drawn closer to an impending disaster. A doctor and his young girlfriend struggle to stop the impending calamity. Will they be too late?This high tech, conspiratorial horror film is highly recommended for those who love small towns with big, deadly secrets. Other films in this genre include "The Secret of Harvest Home" and "The Stepford Wives." "Halloween III" will make you think twice about visiting a small, secluded town on Halloween.
