“A goony, gloomy, endlessly enjoyable joy-buzzer of a movie, one that merely needed a good thirty years or so for viewers to catch up with!” –Yahoo! Movies

Unfairly derided upon its release for eschewing Michael Meyers in favor of a gloriously lunatic original story, Halloween III: Season of the Witch has steadily developed a cult following over the years for its daring weirdness and deliciously Halloween-y atmosphere. When a petrified toy salesman is mysteriously attacked and brought to the hospital, babbling and clutching the year’s most popular Halloween costume, an eerie pumpkin mask, Dr. Daniel Challis is thrust into a terrifying Halloween nightmare. Working with the salesman’s daughter, Ellie, Daniel traces the mask to the Silver Shamrock Novelties company and its founder, Conal Cochran. Ellie and Daniel uncover Cochran’s shocking Halloween plan and must stop him before trick-or-treaters across the country never come home. Featuring evil capitalists, face-melting rubber masks, and one of the earwormiest ad jingles ever recorded, Halloween III may be an oddball entry in its titular franchise, but it one of the most original horror films of the ’80s.
