Summary: Time to make corrections
Review: Ok, lets get this right out in the open for some of the other reviewers that do not know what they are talking about. John Carpenter, had NOTHING to do with this movie. The only one he ever had anything to do with was the orginal. Which by the way is by far the best of the bunch. I don't really even count the others at all. Well, maybe the second one, it wasn't too bad. As for this movie, I'll be honest I've never even watched it. I guess I'll rent it someday and see what it's all about. At least it doesn't have Michael Myers in it, which is good, cause in my opinion he died after the second movie. I do think they should of changed the name of this though. I mean, every Halloween movie has had a different director, naming this one part III doesn't even make any sense at all.

Summary: most underrated horror movie EVER
Review: i think alot of people tend to dismiss this film cuz it doesnt involve michael myers AT ALL. infact it isnt even in haddonfield. it involves a little isolated town called "santi mura" and involves witchcraft. it was a great film. probably wouldnt have gotten such a bad rep if it wasnt a HalloweeN movie but it was a bone tingling tale of an evil warlock who wants to kill millions of children on halloween night. im glad to see that some of the other reviewers on this site said GOOD things about this film cuz ya know what , it wasnt as bad as every1 says it is. i own the movie and enjoyed it very much. i actually thought halloween 3 season of the witch was better than halloween 2 and 4. think it sounds crazy just cuz they were mike myers movies and this was not.lol. well it isnt crazy at all in fact i truelly DO believe it was better than parts 2 and 4. dont just ridicual this movie just it didnt have michael myers or dr loomis or any of them. try to have an open mind and apretiate this movie for what it is instead of bad mouthing it just becuz it didnt meet your premature standards you have placed upon it. give it an open minded shot and watch this movie, and i guarante you will like it. if it makes you feel better , dont refer to it as HALLOWEEN 3 , just call it SEASON OF THE WITCH if it makes ya feel better but give it a chance it was funfilled horror and halloween like it should be....TRUE EVIL

Summary: The Halloween Horror Continues!
Review: "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" takes a break from the "Michael Myers" storyline and concentrates on a small California town called, "Santa Mira". There, a large mask-making company called "Silver Shamrock" has opened up, selling popular Halloween masks to the entire country's children. Their advertising covers the media with rhymes, set to the tune of "London Bridge is Falling Down," which chant "Two more days 'til Halloween, Halloween, Halloween..." Dr. Dan Challis (Tom Atkins), a local doctor, stumbles on a plot to bring about the end of human kind. He, along with Ellie (Stacey Nelkin), a young woman who's father was recently killed, travel inside the factory, where they meet Conal Cochran (Dan O'Herlihy), an old irish goon who has stolen a rock from Stonehenge, which causes mutations in the person who wears a "Silver Shamrock" mask! So tonight, on the most deadly Halloween ever, children across the nation will be watching "Silver Shamrock" commercials, which somehow causes the mutations - their only hope is Dr. Challis and Ellie! However, Conal Cochran captures both Ellie and Dr. Challis. The doctor is well aware of the devestation of Conal Cochran's plot... so he escapes and with the help of Ellie, he leaves the control center exploding in bursts of flames. He races to get help and to stop the commercials from airing. But unfourtunately, Conal Cochran will have the final Halloween trick of the night. "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" although not in any way related to the storylines of the other movies in the "Halloween" series, is quite entertaining. The special effects are pretty good, the acting is great, and Jack Carpenter's score is even more eerie than the scores of the other "Halloween" movies he did the scores for. I honestly think that "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" is a modern classic Although I must say that this movie has been criticized enough. The movie totally flopped all because "Michael Myers" wasn't in it? I think it's crazy that a movie could be criticized that much all because of that one thing. All you have to know before you watch the movie is that you won't be seeing "Laurie Strode," "Michael Myers," "Dr. Loomis," or any of the other characters from the other "Halloween" movies. This movie is a break from all that. It's a new horrific story that contains the same eerie feeling that you get by watching the other "Halloween" movies. Please give this movie a chance. Forget about "Michael Myers" for once and enjoy this modern classic. Overall, "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" is a good movie. It deserves to be considered part of the "Halloween" series. Buy or rent it today! ALSO RECCOMENDED: "Halloween III: Season of the Witch - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack."

Summary: SO-SO HORROR FLICK, NICE DEPARTURE FROM OTHERS IN SERIES
Review: BIG DISCLAIMER: HALLOWEEN III HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MICHAEL MYERS!!!! Okay, now with that out of the way, you may be able to enjoy this film for what it is without trying to compare it to other Halloween movies. It has a good storyline and is well-acted. While making "Halloween III", the filmmakers had the idea of releasing a new Halloween film each year with a different storyline, and "H3" was the first, and sadly last film under that concept. It bombed at the box office and was widely trashed by fans, mainly because it veered off the Michael Myers path. The backlash forced producers to go back to the tired slasher motif for future "Halloween" films, none of which were worth the film they were printed on. "Halloween III" would've fared better if they simply titled it "Season of the Witch". And for those who wonder where the witch was in the film, chief antagonist Conal Cochran is a Warlock (i.e. male witch). The film is very Cthulhu-esque in its mood. The plot is very creepy. Conal Cochran (portrayed nicely by Dan O'Herlihy) is a mask & novelty magnate, who more or less controls a small town in California. He's also a Warlock, part of a long line of Irish Druids, and is not happy with the commercialization of Hallow's Eve. So what better way to keep his tradition alive than sacrificing millions of kids on Halloween night? He devises a master plan which includes to use of his masks, computer chips laced with stonehenge dust, a catchy TV commercial, and android goons who do the necessary dirty work, killing those who know too much. Dan Challis (Tom Atkins) & Ellie (Stacy Nelkin) become caught up in the scheme and are determined to find out what is behind the murder of Ellie's father, who owned a novelty store and bought masks from Cochran. The story unfolds as they do their detective work, climaxes at the Silver Shamrock factory, and ends all too ironically. It's not a gore-fest, but more of a thinking-man horror film. The plot slowly dawns on our heroes & viewers as we go. I have two complaints. The storyline moves very slowly. It's a good plot, but could have been better if the plot unfolded quicker. My second complaint is the inclusion of the androids. The story would've been much creepier if they were simply human cronies or zombies. Overall, it's a decent horror film and a nice break from the slasher genre. Give it a shot if you need a break from the gore-in-your-face horror film.

Summary: A Pleasent Change
Review: Halloween III is quite underrated by people who probably didn't watch it all the way through. I think this is a positive sequel.Simple-minded horror goers are disappointed that Michael Myers doesn't return.So what? If you want more of the serial killer,go back and watch the other sequels. I view it as a refreshing change. The movie takes place in Santa Mira,CA where a warlock controls everything.Bizarre events happen in this "company town",but I won't give away too much. The directing by Wallace is well done and the music score by Carpenter/Howarth is actually BETTER than in the first two movies(listen for those "stingers"),almost Gothic. Halloween III has a dark atmosphere which is captivating. Perfect October viewing. Keep in mind the late Gene Siskel gave this movie a thumbs up also.

Summary: BAD MOVIE...
Review: BAD MOVIE.. TAKE THE STORY AWAY FROM HALLOWEEN 1 AND 2. THERE IS NO MICHAEL MYERS IN THIS ONE, HE ISN'T EVEN MENTIONED. THEY SHOULD HAVE NAMED IT THE SEASON OF THE WITCH. THIS SHOULDN'T BE A PART OF THE HALLOWEEN SERIES. THAT SAID, THE MOVIE STINKS. IT IS DRAWN OUT AND BY THE FIRST DEATH, YOU DON'T EVEN CARE WHO DID IT. BY THE MIDDLE YOU HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT AND STILL DON'T CARE. THE ACTORS TRY TO BE BELIEVABLE IN THIS ONE, BUT IT SHOWS THAT THEY CAN'T WAIT UNTIL IT IS OVER TOO. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. THE TRUE CONTINUATION OF THIS SERIES IS HALLOWEEN H2O.

Summary: Halloween season in concept yes, but Halloween movie no...
Review: I've had the pleasure or the displeasure, considering your persuasion in regard to shocking horror movies, to view the third installment of Halloween, Season of the Witch. Who's idea was it to attach the Halloween moniker to this movie was clearly looking to capitalize on the popularity of the previous two movies featuring Laura Strode, Dr. Loomis and Michael Myers. This second sequel to Halloween has almost no connection with its predecessors, primarily because it doesn't feature any of the said characters. What Season does feature is an interesting plot involving a Druid plan to execute the ultimate prank: To avenge the besmirching of their holiday Halloween. Halloween was a day of celebration of the dead, the day in which the decease and the demons and the witches could freely walk amongst the living. Then, you have this pagan holiday bastardized and commercialized for the amusement of children parading around in masks or caricatures of the dead and of demons scaring people to give them food. Conal Cochran is the Druid engineer of this plot which involves fragments from Stonehenge to rig masks that will bring forth a deadly plague to the masks's wearers and anyone within directly proximity. This by itself is a unique and intriguing notion for a horror movie, a twist on the original interpretation of Halloween; however, it has no bearing to the other movies in the Halloween series. This is the reason why, I award this movie 1 star. If the movie had been released as Season of the Witch or some other name relevant to the origins of the "scary" holiday, I would have given the flick at least 3 pentagrams.

Summary: Halloween 3: Season of the Witch
Review: Halloween 3 is one of the suckest Halloween films of all. No Michael Myers, not even the Witch itself. So why Season of the Witch? I don't know. Halloween and the others kick ass. Halloween H20 is one of Michael Myers latest and I'm hoping he returns toward to the 8th chapter in the Halloween series.

Summary: BEWARE DO NOT WATCH
Review: Ok I liked all Halloween movies aside from this one. Why did I give it 1 star...well "0" is not an option. This movie has everything! Bad acting, No plot, and most importantly and very stupid ending. I'll never forget the ending of this movie... Simply because I've never been so glad to see a movie come to an end. Please do not see this movie, you've been warned.

Summary: What was John Carpenter thinking?
Review: This movie is the worst movie I've ever seen. It gets one star because of the footage from the first "Halloween". The acting sucked. The plot sucked. The whole movie was a waist of time and money. Avoid this movie at all costs!
