[edit] A plot ideal that might have worked

It could have been suggested that Silver Shamrock is responsible for "the evil" (as Loomis repeatedly puts it) that is Michael Myers. They might have produced the mask he wore in the other movies in the franchise.

[edit] Update

I have rewritten/updated this article in a similar fashion as I did Halloween (film) and Halloween II (film). Added sections on production, reception, criticism, etc. Added pictures. Please copyedit and critique. Dmoon1 06:06, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] timeout review

from The Time Out Film Guide (collected reviews from time out magazine) edited by tom milne second edition 1991, p277 reprinting original magazine review by Tom Milne:

"98 minutes"

The title is a bit of a cheat, since the indestructible psycho of the first two films plays no part here. With the possibilities of the characters well and truly exhausted, Season of the Witch turns more profitably to a marvellously ingenious Nigel Kneale tale of a toymaker and his fiendish plan to restore Halloween to its witch cult origins (involving a TV commercaal for toy masks that are in fact diabolical engines). Kneale had his name removed from the credits after tampering with his script had reduced O'Herlihy's toymaker - originally bathed in Celtic mists of myth and magic - to the conventional mad doctor. The end result s a bit of a mess but hugely enjoyable, and often (thanks to Dean Cundey's camerawork and John Carpenter's close supervision as producer) as striking visually as its predecessors.

[edit] Novelization

What is there to substantiate that the novel was a best seller? Does the reprint state that? Шизомби 21:54, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Congratulations on getting the FA

It's not an easy thing to do. Good stuff! --P-Chan 03:43, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Generic doctor?

I'm not sure I can conceive of what such an article would entail...? Шизомби 22:58, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Was Ellie an android throughout the film?

I had always thought that she had been an android the entire film and didn't know it herself, created by Cochran to locate her "father" Harry Grimbridge and kill him or to lure anyone he might have told about Cochran's plan to the factory for Cochran to kill himself. Did anyone else think the same thing? GLENN_THE_TOOL 09:21, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
