Halloween III: Season of the Witch

Horror Mystery Science Fiction

Dr. Daniel Challis and Ellie Grimbridge stumble onto a gruesome murder scheme when Ellie's novelty-salesman father, Harry, is killed while in possession of a strange mask made by the Silver Shamrock mask company. The company's owner, Conal Cochran, wants to return Halloween to its darker roots using his masks -- and his unspeakable scheme would unleash death and destruction across the country.

Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982), directed by Tommy Lee Wallace, Shout! Factory 4k remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including 7.1 remaster, original theatrical dual mono, two commentary tracks, and subtitles in six languages.

IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085636/

Video encoded in two-pass 12.0 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available.

English SDH subtitles OCRed, proofed and corrected, all other subtitles converted to SRT/VobSub and repositioned.

Note : This film was a very early encode of mine, and I'd like to think I've learned a few things, plus this is a better remaster, so here it is again, with higher bitrates, better quality, and more subtitle tracks.

This was of course the time they wanted to make Halloween into an anthology series, which didn't really work out at the box office, but this is not a bad movie by any means (and, the Chad Conal Cochran vs. the Virgin Michael Myers and all that). Tom Atkins chews the scenery, Stacey Nelkin is spunky and occasionally naked, and Dan O'Herlihy is delightfully evil. It's a weird mix of genres worthy of legendary British screenwriter Nigel Kneale, who had his name taken off the film in the end, mixing ancient Druidic magic and sacrifice with computer chips and CRT televisions, and strangely it all kind of works. Well, except for the attempt at making Tom Atkins into some sort of irresistible stud younger women would just fall into bed with (see also The Fog), which requires a lot more suspension of disbelief than murderous Halloween masks.

A few days before Halloween, Dr. Dan Challis receives Harry Grimbridge, a patient clutching a Halloween mask, who was being chased by men in suits, and who later is murdered in his hospital bed by another man in a suit who immediately after immolates himself in his car. Grimbridge's daughter Ellie seeks out Challis, and together they travel to the small town that's home to the factory making the Halloween masks, where the locals are strangely suspicious, and it turns out Grimbridge had stayed at the local motel. They devise a cover story and get a tour of the factory, owned by Conal Cochran, who might have bigger plans than just making rubber masks.

This 4k remaster is quite good, nicely managed grain, good contrast, perhaps a little dark at times, and with a bit too much saturation in the shadows, but all over a good upgrade. 7.1 remaster also sounds good, the original dual mono is there if you want it, and the commentary tracks are worth listening to, although Tom Atkins sounds like a lecherous old drunk.

Hot tip

Quote:

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “hevk sci-fi horror” for more technology meets thaumaturgy, “hevk holiday horror” for more horror related to or set on festive dates, or “hevk 80s” for more from the decade when Tom Atkins was apparently some sort of sex symbol.
