Customer Reviews of Halloween 3 - Season of the Witch
The Halloween Horror Continues! "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" takes a break from the "Michael Myers" storyline and concentrates on a small California town called, "Santa Mira". There, a large mask-making company called "Silver Shamrock" has opened up, selling popular Halloween masks to the entire country's children. Their advertising covers the media with rhymes, set to the tune of "London Bridge is Falling Down," which chant "Two more days 'til Halloween, Halloween, Halloween..."
Dr. Dan Challis (Tom Atkins), a local doctor, stumbles on a plot to bring about the end of human kind. He, along with Ellie (Stacey Nelkin), a young woman who's father was recently killed, travel inside the factory, where they meet Conal Cochran (Dan O'Herlihy), an old irish goon who has stolen a rock from Stonehenge, which causes mutations in the person who wears a "Silver Shamrock" mask! So tonight, on the most deadly Halloween ever, children across the nation will be watching "Silver Shamrock" commercials, which somehow causes the mutations - their only hope is Dr. Challis and Ellie!
However, Conal Cochran captures both Ellie and Dr. Challis. The doctor is well aware of the devestation of Conal Cochran's plot... so he escapes and with the help of Ellie, he leaves the control center exploding in bursts of flames. He races to get help and to stop the commercials from airing. But unfourtunately, Conal Cochran will have the final Halloween trick of the night.
"Halloween III: Season of the Witch" although not in any way related to the storylines of the other movies in the "Halloween" series, is quite entertaining. The special effects are pretty good, the acting is great, and Jack Carpenter's score is even more eerie than the scores of the other "Halloween" movies he did the scores for. I honestly think that "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" is a modern classic
Although I must say that this movie has been criticized enough. The movie totally flopped all because "Michael Myers" wasn't in it? I think it's crazy that a movie could be criticized that much all because of that one thing. All you have to know before you watch the movie is that you won't be seeing "Laurie Strode," "Michael Myers," "Dr. Loomis," or any of the other characters from the other "Halloween" movies. This movie is a break from all that. It's a new horrific story that contains the same eerie feeling that you get by watching the other "Halloween" movies.
Please give this movie a chance. Forget about "Michael Myers" for once and enjoy this modern classic. Overall, "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" is a good movie. It deserves to be considered part of the "Halloween" series. Buy or rent it today!

It's not THAT bad.
My first exposure to the Halloween movies was when I was a pre-teen. I loved the first one and really liked the rest of the sequels, which I watched non-sequentially. Halloween 3 was the last entry on the roster (mainly because it was so hard to find back then). My cousin finally got a hold of it, we both watched it and never spoke of it again. A Halloween movie without Michael Myers? Humbug! Blasphemy! How dare they! What a garbage movie!
Well, I'm 22 now and decided to buy Universal's re-issue on DVD. Not because I had any fond memories of the film; I'm simply a completist and it drove me BONKERS whenever I saw that one inch gap between my Halloween 2 and 4 DVD's. So, I reluctantly opened up the packaging, put the disc in the DVD player and just laid back with remote in hand. When it was all over, I realized the film is still no masterpiece.
However, it's been years since I've gotten over the fact that Michael isn't in it, so at least I was (ironically) able to watch it for the second time with a fresher perspective. And I have to say, it really isn't that bad. I actually like it better than Resurrection, but I guess that's not really saying much. The story drags sometimes, but the overall concept is interesting. Cochran, the villain, makes for a cool thorn in Tom Atkins' side. I also give the filmmakers kudos for allowing that annoying kid to just shut up and die a really horrible death.
Much has been said about the theme song. You know... "X more days till Halloween, Halloween, Halloween..." And it really does kind of grate on your nerves after you hear it for what seems like fifty times in ten minutes. But, I guess horror buffs can credit Halloween 3 for contributing at least ONE classic attribute to the genre, annoying or not.
If you're not a completist like me, I'd definitely suggest renting before buying. Just watch it with an open mind.
WILDLY UNDERRATED!
This film is so underrated because there is no Michael Myers! Well, that doesn't mean this is a BAD film! It had a very good plotline! The acting wasn't to great but other than that, this is a good non-sequel! I give it a 6 out of 10!
