Ep. 49 - HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH (1982)

Cinema Shock

We continue our Halloween series where we look at some of our favorite horror movie sequels this week with a look at the much-maligned third entry in the HALLOWEEN series.

SYNOPSIS: Dr. Daniel Challis and Ellie Grimbridge stumble onto a gruesome murder scheme when Ellie’s novelty-salesman father, Harry, is killed while in possession of a strange mask made by the Silver Shamrock mask company. The company’s owner, Conal Cochran, wants to return Halloween to its darker roots using his masks – and his unspeakable scheme would unleash death and destruction across the country.

This entry in the series is notorious for not including series mainstay Michael Myers, which may have lead to its reputation as a bad film. But is it misunderstood? We're not discussing this one for redemption, but going for broke and putting it up for entry into the Psychotronic Hall of Fame! let us know if you think it deserves to go in.

We’d love to hear from you! Contact us at any of the social media accounts listed below or give us a call at [phone] and leave us a voicemail of 3 minutes or less and we’ll play it on the next show!

Theme song: “Foreign Body” by the Slasher Film Festival Strategy from their album PSYCHIC SHIELD. More info: slasherfilmfestivalstrategy.bandcamp.com
