Halloween III: Season of the Witch

On a crisp autumn evening in Northern California, Harry Grimbridge clutches a jack-o-lantern Halloween mask while being chased by ominous figures in black suits. As he reaches Walter Jones's establishment, he collapses, prompting Walter to call for urgent help.

Harry is rushed to the hospital, where he comes under the care of Dr. Daniel Challis. This accomplished yet troubled physician grapples with personal issues, including a rift from his ex-wife and his children, while encountering Harry's tragic situation.

In a shocking turn of events, Harry meets a cruel end at the hands of another suited assailant who ignites himself on fire. This incident leaves a haunting presence, emphasizing the growing danger surrounding Harry's story.

Following her father's tragic death, Harry's daughter, Ellie, reaches out to Dr. Challis. Together, they embark on an investigation to unravel the mystery behind Harry's unexpected demise, determined to uncover the truth.

Dr. Challis and Ellie travel to the eerie town of Santa Mira, California, home to the sinister Silver Shamrock Novelties factory. They sense the growing danger as they explore the secrets hidden within the town.

Dr. Challis learns that Harry had stayed at a local motel, where memories of him linger among the guests. Their investigation intensifies as they piece together Harry's last movements in Santa Mira.

During their investigation, a traveler named Marge Guttman finds a microchip hidden in a medallion. This seemingly mundane action unleashes a deadly energy beam, leading to a gruesome transformation and death.

After Marge's horrific encounter, her lifeless body is whisked away in a Silver Shamrock van. Men in lab coats are overheard discussing a 'misfire' in the presence of Conal Cochran, raising suspicions about the factory's experiments.

As Dr. Challis and Ellie push further into the mystery, they arrive at the foreboding gates of the Silver Shamrock Novelties factory. Ellie discovers her father's vehicle, guarded by men in suits, deepening the sense of danger.

Dr. Challis and Ellie are captured by Cochran's minions, revealing the dark secrets behind the factory. In a chilling twist, the couple learns that Ellie is a synthetic duplicate designed by Cochran himself.

In the control room, Cochran unveils his nefarious plan to sacrifice children during the pagan festival of Samhain using masks embedded with fragments of Stonehenge. The fate of many innocent children hangs in the balance.

With time running short, Dr. Challis breaks free from his bonds in a desperate attempt to thwart Cochran's plan. He disrupts the factory's monitor system to distract the guards, making a last-ditch effort to save the children.

As chaos erupts within the factory, Dr. Challis unleashes a torrent of medallions. The remnants of Stonehenge come alive, leading to a fiery reckoning for Cochran and the destruction of the facility.

As Dr. Challis escapes, he is confronted with the horrifying truth about Ellie’s true identity. In a fierce confrontation, he decides her fate, leading to a violent end for the android who masqueraded as Ellie.

Desperately, Dr. Challis rushes to Walter's shop to warn television stations about Cochran's commercial. While he manages to alert a couple of stations, his final cries for help go unanswered, amplifying the looming threat.
