Halloween III (1982) Rob Zombie

Wiki Article

Halloween 3 says the slogan for "Witchcraft enters the computer age, and a different terror begins."

fans of Halloween and Halloween 2 did not like the 1982 picture Halloween III. Of course, unlike their predecessors, there was no brutal villain Myers to be seen.

With Halloween 3, Carpenter and Hill hoped to establish a trilogy with a new Halloween film every year. It was a brilliant concept, and I wish they had expanded on it. It didn't work.

Tom Atkins plays the role of Dr. Daniel Challis, a well-respected surgeon who stumbles into a gruesome murder at the hospital only a few days before Halloween. The elderly patient who was taken into the hospital holding a Halloween mask is slain while he is still providing treatment for them.

With his daughter, Ellie, Challis heads to the town of Santa Mira to meet the CEO of the Silver Shamrock Company, producers of the hot Halloween mask in the world. Thanks to their intensive marketing campaign, which includes a catchy jingle, Silver Shamrock has sold millions of Halloween masks across the U.S.A..

(It's a well-known fact that the Silver Shamrock plant was located in an old milk factory.)

They're also urging kids to see a special Halloween night program that, if successful, would kill thousands, if not millions, of people. When Dr. Challis and Ellie investigate more, they learn that the CEO of Silver Shamrock, Conal Cochran (Dan O'Herlihy), is planning something.

Although Halloween III: Season of the Witch has no connection to Michael, Loomis, Laurie, or Haddonfield, it is still an enjoyable film in its own right. Aside from a few scenes in which the original Halloween plays on television, Halloween III: Season of the Witch also has no connection to the first Halloween films.

Yes, it's not without flaw, but one of the funniest sequences is when Cochran, with a diabolical scheme in mind, tries it on Buddy Kupfer's (Ralph Strait), a salesperson whose mask sales earned him a premium tour of the facility.

Little Buddy is put in a tiny room with the mask to watch a show that is scheduled to run that night. Needless to say, things quickly spiral out of hand, and you'll never forget the carnage that link to info ensues. Conal Cochran's history lecture, in which he describes the actual origins of Halloween, is very remarkable.

My favorite Halloween franchise are the ones that follow Halloween 3. In Halloween 4 and Halloween V, the movies once again featured Michael Myers. However, one wonders what stories would have been told had Carpenter had the opportunity to continue their original plan for the series.

It should be the responsibility of whomever opted to add the "3" in the film title of the movie rather than film moviegoers who refuse to accept it.

Now that it's finished, I still like Halloween III, which makes Carpenter's entire backfire much more tough to swallow.

Director: Tommy Lee Wallace.

Atkins, Stacey Nelkin and Dan O'Herlihy.
