Halloween III: Season of the Witch

Halloween III Season of the Witch is a 1982 American science fiction horror film. The film is the third installment in the Halloween franchise and notable for being the only entry in the series that does not feature the fictional character Michael Myers, nor does it include story elements from either Halloween 1978 or Halloween II 1981. It is the first film to be written and directed by Tommy Lee Wallace. John Carpenter and Debra Hill, the creators of Halloween, returned as producers. The film stars Tom Atkins as Dr. Dan Challis, Stacey Nelkin as Ellie Grimbridge, and Dan OHerlihy as Conal Cochran. The story focuses on an investigation by Challis and Grimbridge into the activities of Cochran, the mysterious owner of the Silver Shamrock Novelties company, in the week approaching Halloween night.

Despite an initially negative reception for the film, largely due to fan disappointment over the absence of Michael Myers, reevaluation over the past three decades has given Halloween III new legions of fans and established its reputation as a standalone cult film.On Saturday, October 23, 1982, shop owner Harry Grimbridge Al Berry runs along a barren stretch of road in Northern California. A vehicle containing mysterious figures in business suits is chasing him. Grimbridge is attacked by one of the mysterious figures but escapes after his assailant is crushed by a rolling vehicle. Grimbridge flees, finally collapsing at a gas station clutching a Silver Shamrock jackolantern mask. He is driven to the hospital by station attendant Walter Jones Essex Smith, all the while ranting, Theyre going to kill us. Theyre going to kill us all. ........
