Product Description
When a terrified toy salesman is mysteriously attacked and brought to hospital babbling nonsense and clutching the year s most popular Halloween costume, an eerie pumpkin mask, Doctor Daniel Challis is thrust into a horrifying nightmare. Working with the salesman s daughter Ellie, he traces the mask back to the Silver Shamrock Novelties company and its sinister founder Conal Cohran whose deadly intent is to revive the ancient Celtic rites of All Hallows Eve and unleash a night of mass sacrifice across the land using his evil Halloween masks. Horror master John Carpenter presents the third chilling instalment in the terrifying HALLOWEEN series.

Format:DVD
if you dont class this as part of the halloween films and just see this film as a one, then its actually not bad!.. micheal myers is nothing to do with this film at all! i wonder why they went off the plot from myers... probaly because myers had his eyes shot out, then burned to death in halloween 2! ... anyway... its about some halloween masks and when you watch the halloween advert for the masks whilst wearing them, snakes and whatever comes out of your skull.. your dead basically!... good film tho, know it dont sound much but its still a good watch!... the music does give the fear factor too! very simular to that music played in halloween!.
Format:DVD
Once you know your history then you will understand why Halloween 3 was made and why the plot is what it is.
Go to wikipedia or official Halloween sites for info.
This is a very good horror movie, so good in fact that if it were just called Season of the Witch perhaps it
would be better fondly remembered.
Tom Atkins is just amazing in this movie and there are plenty of twists and turns right to the end. Movie even includes a child death.
Oh and for all the Michael fanatics out there that hate this movie because he is not in it.
Then look again, Michael appears TWICE in this film.

This is the last part of the real Halloween franchise. After this the the Myers saga was resurrected Frankenstein style.
Like Halloween II, though this was not directed by Carpenter, Halloween III has his signature stamped all over it. Along with a story co-written with Nigel Neale (he disowned it) and having a hand in the production, Carpenter also contributed the music. One of the, rarely commented on things about, Carpenters early films is that the soundtracks stamp an authorship on them just as strongly as the directing style, writing and editing. Though there were lots of similar electonic scores in that era, Carpenters's are still instantly identifiable because they have a propulsive insistant rock drive that gives the films movement even when nothing at all his happening. Somone walks across a street and ting, ting,ting, ting, ting....there's a sense of speed. A shot of an empty corridor and its ding, did-ding,did-ding ... filled with menace. The music alters what you see in the same way Enio Morocone's music dominates Sergio Leone's films or Mark Mothersbaugh's (Devo) gives Wes Anderson films an identity.
The other thing that ties Season of the Witch to Halloween (I and II) is Dean Cundy's camera work, which was always stunning. These are the elements that, to me, make Season of the Witch the last real entry in the series and the other films simply ok to poor studio cash ins. The story is good too and Tom Atkins, looking pemanently hungover, is always great value.
