Halloween III: Season of the Witch is a 1982 Sci-Fi Horror film and the third installment in the Halloween franchise, written and directed by Tommy Lee Wallace with franchise co-creators John Carpenter and Debra Hill returning as producers. It is notable among the franchise's entries for not featuring central antagonist Michael Myers in the film, and is still the only Halloween installment to do so.This premise came about when Carpenter, director of the original 1978 film, decided to make a film in line with his original vision for the series — a yearly anthology of unrelated films centered around various aspects of Halloween. Halloween III attempted to accomplish the task, but ended up meeting with a massive backlash from both critics and a fanbase hungry for more Michael Myers following the success of Halloween II.The film starts a week before Halloween, when Dr. Dan Challis (Tom Atkins) gets called in to treat Harry Grimbridge, a horribly beaten toy salesman with a Halloween mask in a death grip who mumbles ominous warnings in Challis's presence. It gets stranger from there — one of the salesman's assailants breaks in, murders Harry, then burns himself alive. Challis teams up with the man's daughter, Ellie (Stacey Nelkin), to unravel the mystery, and the trail leads them to the town of Santa Mira, which serves as the home of the Silver Shamrock Novelty Company. Ellie's father had recently visited the company to pick up a shipment of their popular Halloween masks — masks like the one Harry had in his hands the night he died. While investigating the town, Dan and Ellie discover that Silver Shamrock's CEO, Conal Cochran (Dan O'Herlihy), has nefarious plans in the works...and that Harry's death served as a warning of things to come this Halloween season.Halloween III grossed a little over half of what Halloween II did in the U.S., making it the worst-performing installment yet (although it did make a profit). After the film's release, Carpenter walked away from the franchise, which would be given a reboot with Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers continuing the story from the original two films, essentially meaning that the idea of Halloween being a Villain-Based Franchise prevailed. However, Halloween III has become a Cult Classic in the years since its release.Not to be confused with Season of the Witch. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Halloween III: Season of the Witch / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Until the Rob Zombie reboot of Halloween, this was the darkest and edgiest film in the Halloween series, enough to involve a plot to grotesquely murder as many of the children of the United States as possible just because the stars were in alignment, being very Bloodier and Gorier (surpassing its predecessor in violence), and all the deaths fall under a cruel and unusual level of brutality. | |

Cruel and Unusual Death | |
| Halloween III: Season of the Witch / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: Several. Cochran's robots have several very nasty and creative ways of killing their targets, including power drills, crushing their nasal passages to suffocate, and simply ripping people's heads off. Plus what happens to Marge when one of Cochran's mask medallions misfires in her face. The ultimate has to be Buddy and his family, though, when a test mask executes its Magitek spell and slowly destroys his kid right before his eyes...then releases venomous snakes to do the same to him and his wife. | |

May–December Romance | |
| Halloween III: Season of the Witch / int_234fa9ba | comment |
May–December Romance: Challis is well into his forties, and Ellie is in her early twenties (although she claims to be older than she looks). To be fair, the romance really just happened spontaneously. Challis initially is reluctant to pursue her given the situation, her loss, and the fact he's still technically married (albeit separated). | |

Mythology Gag: A commercial for Halloween (1978) plays on the TV in the bar, and a portion of the film is shown during the Horror-thon (an odd choice considering Conal's target audience). It's announced dramatically in the commercial as "the immortal classic!" | |

Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping | |
| Halloween III: Season of the Witch / int_35b241c0 | comment |
Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Averted and inverted. Cochran - played by an Irish actor - doesn't have a strong Irish accent for most of the movie, but his pronunciation of Samhain in Irish Gaelic is exactly correct, and while explaining his evil plan his accent not only grows thicker but less refined to sound more like country folk would. | |

There is also Five-Second Foreshadowing in case the audience hasn't figured it out. After Dr. Challis enters the factory to find Ellie, he encounters an old woman knitting a scarf. After shaking her, he immediately discovers that she is actually an automaton. In the next sequence, Challis gets in a fight with one henchman and accidentally punches a hole through the henchman's body before realizing said henchman was a robot. | |

Ambiguous Ending: It's unknown if Dr. Challis succeeds in persuading the TV stations to cease broadcasting Cochran's mask-activating transmission although the desperation in Challis's voice suggests that things have taken a turn for the worse. On a more optimistic note, the masks may have lost all their power anyway since Cochrane is dead and his factory is destroyed. | |

Would Hurt a Child: The evil plot aims to kill millions of perfectly innocent children across the United States, in as grotesque a way imaginable, using the very masks their parents have bought for them to enjoy. Talk about a lifetime of seriously messed-up, misplaced guilt and truly horrific nightmares, assuming they even survive the torrent of venomous snakes and bugs that emerge from their children's decaying heads. | |

Unwitting Pawn | |
| Halloween III: Season of the Witch / int_733e007a | comment |
Unwitting Pawn: The people who sold the masks for Silver Shamrock like Ellie's dad and Buddy Kupfer had no way of knowing they were being used to set up a mass slaughter of children. Ellie's dad found out and it got him killed. Buddy probably figured it out when he saw what the mask did to his own son, but by then, he was good as dead, too. | |

| Halloween III: Season of the Witch / int_7570a10c | comment |
Bond Villain Stupidity: When Dan gets caught in the factory, Conal lets him live long enough to explain his evil plot and then places Dan in a Death Trap. This makes no sense since Dan is of no importance and serves no purpose to Conal. Logically, he should have been killed instantly like every other victim in the movie. | |

Magitek: Cochran puts tiny pieces of Stonehenge into corporate medallion seals on his masks. When triggered by a specific flashing picture, they execute an extremely destructive spell, messily decaying the head in the mask and releasing deadly insects and serpents to cause collateral damage. The robots are also a likely example of it. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Halloween III: Season of the Witch / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Was Ellie always a robot, or captured and replaced by one in Cochran's factory? If the latter, what happened to the real Ellie — did Cochran kill her, was she killed when the factory burned down, or did she escape? Evidence makes it seems more likely that it was the latter; the real robots weren't very talkative, but Ellie early on was quite animated and was bound to go to the factory. It's probable that Ellie was real until she saw her father's car, and was seen being forced into the factory by other robots shortly thereafter. Notice how Ellie never spoke from the moment that she was "rescued"? The ad hoc robot Ellie was Cochran's last little joke - and assurance that Challis would die no matter what happened in the factory. Ellie was most likely...disposed of. | |

Later on, Challis destroys the henchmen with their laser chips, before the piece of Stonehenge that Cochran pilfered roars to life and obliterates him. And then the factory burns down. Seems Starker got his own "good joke." | |

Time Abyss: Cochran somewhat implies his pagan religion to be this, saying that the last time a sacrifice happened due to the same planetary alignment was 3000 years ago; if that ancient event wasn't the first occurrence, that would make the rite at least 6000 years old, predating recorded history. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Halloween III: Season of the Witch / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The movie hints at the true nature of Cochran's henchmen before The Reveal. Teddy complains that the autopsy team must have mixed up the car parts with the body. When the protagonists and Buddy Kupfer's family take a tour of the Silver Shamrock factory, they enter one room full of Cochran's toys, more specifically toys built out of machinery. There is also Five-Second Foreshadowing in case the audience hasn't figured it out. After Dr. Challis enters the factory to find Ellie, he encounters an old woman knitting a scarf. After shaking her, he immediately discovers that she is actually an automaton. In the next sequence, Challis gets in a fight with one henchman and accidentally punches a hole through the henchman's body before realizing said henchman was a robot. | |

Novelization | |
| Halloween III: Season of the Witch / int_c54d550d | comment |
Novelization: The script was adapted as a paperback novelization in 1982 by horror writer Dennis Etchison writing under the pseudonym Jack Martin. The book was a best-seller and was reissued in 1984. Etchison wrote the novelization to Halloween II (1981) only a year before. Although Cochran dies in the film, the novelization implies that he may have survived, with the magic of Stonehenge transporting him to another location rather than killing him. The novel also makes it clear that Cochran's plan succeeds, while the film's ending is slightly more ambiguous, although its success is heavily implied. | |

Shout-Out: Santa Mira is the name of the town in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978). It is a fitting reference since both movies have Evil Doppelgängers and characters trying to warn everyone of the villains' evil plans. The ending theme is given the title "Chariots of Pumpkins" on the official soundtrack album, possibly as a nod to Vangelis' score to said film. | |

Oddball in the Series | |
| Halloween III: Season of the Witch / int_f068cba | comment |
Oddball in the Series: This is the only movie that isn't involved with Michael Myers, for the purpose of creating an anthology series. When that didn't work out, the series went back to Michael's story. However Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers does create a tentative link with this film. | |

Ridiculously Human Robot: Cochran's goons, apart from their emotionless attitudes, pass as normal humans relatively easily. | |

Deceptively Human Robots | |
| Halloween III: Season of the Witch / int_f865d93d | comment |
Deceptively Human Robots: Possibly even Ridiculously Human Robots, in the case of Ellie. Cochran's mooks were Magitek clockwork robots and obedient factory workers, but unlike past examples, there wasn't anything the LEAST bit funny about them - they were designed as low-tech Terminators. | |

Theme Music Abandonment | |
| Halloween III: Season of the Witch / int_f9af4912 | comment |
Theme Music Abandonment: The classic theme is not heard, because this was an attempt to take the series in a different direction. Kind of. Bits of the original score surface when Challis is tied to the chair, and the original Halloween is playing in the background, providing creepy music for the scene. | |

Titled After the Song | |

Titled After the Song: Subverted. The subtitle is also the name of a Donovan song, but it was actually titled after the George Romero film of the same name. | |
