"No Michael Myers. Just masks. And mayhem."

Join host Benjamin Schneider with special guests Kathryn Horan and Rob Kyle as we dive into one of horror's most infamous cult classics: Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982).

We explore the cursed masks of Silver Shamrock, the bizarre blend of witchcraft and sci-fi, and why this controversial Myers-less sequel was reviled upon release but has since earned a devoted cult following. From its earworm jingle to its dark corporate conspiracy, we discuss what makes this misunderstood VHS-era oddity worth revisiting.
