Episode 5: Season of the Witch: The Halloween Movie That Broke the Franchise

In this episode Dave explores Halloween III: Season of the Witch — John Carpenter and Deborah Hill’s controversial attempt to turn the franchise into an anthology and the film’s dark fusion of Celtic myth and corporate control.
He summarizes the plot (Dr. Dan Chalice and Ellie Grimbridge uncover Silver Shamrock’s plan to use Stonehenge-embedded chips in Halloween masks), explains why audiences rejected the film in 1982, and highlights its themes of commercialization, media manipulation, and nostalgia weaponized.
Finally, Dave traces the film’s cult rediscovery on VHS and DVD and argues that Halloween III’s ambition and prescience deserve a second look.
