There were a lot of people who enjoyed the entries Halloween and the second Halloween movie, but they did not rush out to see the sequel, Halloween 3: Season of the Witch, which was released in 1982. The point for this is because Michael Myers did not make an appearance in this picture, in contrast to the other Halloween movies.
John Carpenter hoped that Halloween III: Season of the Witch would be the beginning of an anthology series. yearly around the holiday, a new Halloween film with a unique plot might be released. It was a fantastic concept, and I wish they had had the opportunity to develop it further. Unfortunately, things did not work out.
Dr. Daniel Challis (Tom Atkins) is confronted with a peculiar case only days before Halloween: the murder of an elderly patient who had been brought to the hospital holding a Halloween mask.
With the aid of the murdered guy's daughter, Ellie (Stacey Nelkin), Challis flies to Santa Mira where the Silver Shamrock is based. Silver Shamrock Company's marketing effort has sold millions of masks in the U.S.
(In a milk plant, Silver Shamrock was constructed.)
They're also encouraging youngsters to watch a special Halloween night program while still in costume. When Dr. Challis and Ellie dig further, they discover that Conal Cochran (Dan O'Herlihy), the CEO of Silver Shamrock, is scheming something that would result in thousands, if not millions, of innocent deaths.
Halloween 3 has no link to Myers, Dr. Loomis, Strode, or Haddonfield, save from a few situations in which the first Halloween was playing on TV. Despite its variations from the previous two films, the film is entertaining.
It's not flawless, but there are a few remarkable moments throughout the movie. Despite this, it's still a worthwhile watch. So, Cochran goes to Buddy Kupfer's (Ralph Strait) family, a mask-selling salesperson, and tries out his strategy on them.
Little Buddy wears his Silver Shamrock mask when confined. He watches a Halloween movie, and the carnage is unforgetable. Conal Cochran explains Halloween's origins.
Admittedly, I’m a fan of the Halloween films, including the movies that followed Halloween III, all of which once again featured Michael Myers. That said, I can’t help but wonder what stories might have been told had Carpenter and Hill had a chance to continue their initial plan for the series.
I do not mean to blame film moviegoers for not embracing Halloween 3. For me, the fault lies with the movie's producers for adding the number "3" to cause people to think it was yet another sequel (just updated) to the classic film.
The fact that the film is now gone, yet that I truly loved Halloween III: Season of the Witch, makes the terrible concept of Carpenter's vision that much harder to stomach.
Tommy Lee Wallace was the one in charge of directing this movie.
Atkins, Nelkin, and O'Herlihy.
