Our take on the Halloween III: Season of the Witch (Steelbook)

Halloween III: Season of the Witch is the 1982 anthology entry in the Halloween series, directed by Tommy Lee Jones and written by Nigel Kneale and John Carpenter. It has no Michael Myers: instead, a mask maker named Conal Cochran plots to kill children on Halloween night using lethal masks powered by a Stonehenge-linked signal. Tom Atkins, Stacy Nelkin and Dan O'Herlihy star. Fans of the series often rank it as the boldest and strangest entry, while newcomers expecting a slasher are frequently thrown by the shift.
