One hour later, during a fierce thunderstorm, the scene shifted to a gas station, where the attendant Walter Jones was watching TV. Grimbridge released a parked car that rolled toward them, crushing the man between two cars (# 1 death, android). At nighttime, a novelty shop owner, later identified as middle-aged toy salesman Harry Grimbridge, ran on foot from a pursuing car's headlights into a deserted car parts and wrecking lot, where he was pinned on the ground by a mysterious man wearing a gray business suit and shiny black shoes (later identified as a Silver Shamrock android henchman). On Saturday, October the 23rd, about one week before Halloween. One critic twenty years later suggests that if Halloween III was not part of the Halloween series, then it would simply be "a fairly nondescript eighties horror flick, no worse and no better than many others." Where Halloween had broken new ground and was imitated by many genre films following in its wake, this third installment seemed hackneyed to many. In addition to relatively weak box office returns, most critics gave the film negative reviews. Produced on a budget of $2.5 million, Halloween III grossed $14.4 million at the box office in the United States. The focus on a psychopathic killer is replaced by a "mad scientist and witchcraft" theme. Besides wholly abandoning the Michael Myers plotline, Halloween III departs from the slasher film genre which the original Halloween spawned. The only connection this movie has with the others in the series is a scene where a trailer for John Carpenter's original 1978 Halloween is seen on a TV. It was originally intended to turn Halloween into an anthology series, offering a different Halloween storyline every year.
Season of the Witch does not feature Michael Myers, and is unrelated to the other films in the franchise. Directed by Tommy Lee Wallace and starring Tom Atkins, Stacey Nelkin, and Dan O'Herlihy, the film is based on an original screenplay by Nigel Kneale and focuses on an evil scheme by the owner of a mask company to kill the children of America on Halloween night through a series of popular Halloween masks: a witch, a jack-o'-lantern, and a skull. Halloween III: Season of the Witch is a 1982 American horror film and the third installment in the Halloween series. You thought no further than the strange custom of having your children wear masks and go out begging for candy." ― Conal Cochran
