Now screening: Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
Tom Atkins plays good-time guy Dr. Daniel Challis on a deadbeat dad roadtrip to drink beer, get laid, and unmask a Celtic conspiracy to infest children’s faces with bugs via TV broadcast. Stop! yells Challis, but no. The Silver Shamrock Novelty jingle has already been unleashed & all we can do is decide which of three masks to put on before the evil program starts and gross bugs and snakes pour out of our face holes. It’s either that or we join the Cult of Thorn. People who say Michael Myers is not in this film are dead wrong. He’s just been syndicated: see him right there in the same TVs that drive the main action of the film. 5 out of 5 sacs of blood.
