Halloween III: Season of the Witch is a 1982 American science fiction horror film and the third installment in the Halloween film series. It is the first film to be written and directed by Tommy Lee Wallace. John Carpenter and Debra Hill, the creators of Halloween and Halloween II, return as producers. Halloween III is the only entry in the series that does not feature the series antagonist, Michael Myers.
Hospital emergency room Dr. Daniel "Dan" Challis (Tom Atkins) and Ellie Grimbridge (Stacey Nelkin), the daughter of a murder victim, uncover a terrible plot by small-town mask maker Conal Cochran (Dan O'Herlihy), a madman who's planning a Halloween mass murder utilizing an ancient Celtic ritual. The ritual involves a boulder stolen from Stonehenge, the use of Silver Shamrock masks and a triggering device contained in a television commercial -- all designed to kill millions of children.

Note[]
- At the end of the film, Dan Challis manages to get two of the three channels airing the Silver Shamrock commercial taken off the air. Considering the film takes place in California which is in the Pacific time zone, the two closest time zones (Mountain and Central) are the most likely candidates to also air the commercial. However, it is unknown which remaining time zone aired the commercial and how many children in 1982 could've possibly seen it while wearing the Silver Shamrock masks, so they won't be counted.
