Halloween III - Season Of The Witch description
The one Halloween sequel in which He doesn't come home, Halloween III: Season of the Witch was producer John Carpenter's attempt to get the series away from the original's psycho-on-the-loose story line and turn it into a vehicle for more far-fetched Halloween-themed horror tales. Incredibly, the fans voted for more of the same and Carpenter walked away for others to rehash the Michael Myers plot line in a succession of look-alike movies that are still turning up every few years. After the mysterious death of a toyshop owner, a doctor (Tom Atkins) and the man's daughter (Stacy Nelkin) investigate the Irish-dominated Northern California community of Santa Mira, a company town owned by the Silver Shamrock Novelty corporation. Atkins and Nelkin are typical low-rent horror movie protagonists, dim bulbs who discover an Invasion of the Body Snatchers-style conspiracy involving sharp-suited corporate robots. But guest star Dan O'Herlihy steals the film as a Celtic joke tycoon who hates the way American kids are despoiling the religious spirit of Samhain and decides to teach them a nasty lesson. His scheme, which involves a stolen Stonehenge megalith and a techno-magic spell that turns the heads of TV watchers into writhing masses of snakes and insects, is value for money, and O'Herlihy mixes enough serious malice into the charm to come across as a great screen bad guy. --Kim Newman |

♥♥♥♥♥ |
MOST BORING HORROR MOVIE
|
For trilogies, the third part is usually the worst. Halloween III proved this, along with a few other "Part III's" that arrived around the same time - giving the early 1980's the worst segments of sequels ever. Think about it. Halloween III, Amityville III, Jaws III, Friday the 13th Part III, and the worst of them all, Smokey and the Bandit III. They were all released within the same year. At least Return of the Jedi was good.
In any case, this is, by far the worst of the Halloween series, barely beating out Part VI, the Curse of Michael Myers.
I will give John Carpenter a little credit for trying something new. Instead, it marks a skid in his career from which he did not recover from until the clever, They Live of 1988.
The Silver Shamrock Halloween Masks are about to go out to millions of children. Tom Atkins discovers a nefarious plot. Apparently, the masks have a computer chip that reacts to a Halloween telecast brought by all three major networks. The masks will then burn alive the children.
Aside from this idiotic plot trap, the script gives no tension nor scare.
One might get scared watching the original Halloween that Tom Atkins is forced to watch while waiting his demise.
Aside from the poor script, the acting was worse. By the middle of the movie, the audience will not care about his character, or anyone else for that matter.
The only muder in this movie is that the audience was bored to death. |
