Halloween III: Season of the Witch Page #4

---

unlike most human beings.

Those who went before me, you know they...

they never dreamed of anything like this.

What is this place?

- Oh, can't you tell?

Advanced and...

ancient technology.

A good magician never explains.

Come on, then.

You've still got time

to figure it out all by yourself.

From an ancient sacrificial circle.

Stonehenge.

We had a time getting it here.

You wouldn't believe, how we did it.

It has a power in it.

A force.

Even a...

particle.

Devastating.

Oh, Doctor, you asked about the girl.

Where is she?

Right in there.

And your friend, Miss Guttman.

You killed her.

- Oh, no. Miss Guttman was the victim of a misfire.

The others...

What you really need to see is a demonstration

and there's one coming right up.

Mr. Cochran will be right along.

I don't like this place.Iit gives me the creeps.

I have to go to the bathroom.

Mommy!

- Relax a minute, will you?

Mr. Cochran'll be here.

Then everything will be fine.

He just wants my opinion about some

television commercials or something.

You know, I still can't figure out why

they won't take my orders for next year.

You know how I like to work ahead,

and well, they're just not interested at all.

Maybe they're not going to

have Halloween next year.

All right, roll it.

It's time, it's time.

Time for the big giveaway.

- This is just the same old stuff.

All you lucky kids with Silver Shamrock masks,

gather 'round your TV set.

Put on your masks and watch.

- Honey, don't get too close, you'll ruin your eyes.

Gather 'round and watch.

Watch the magic pumpkin. Watch.

I think this whole thing ...

is a big joke.

I mean, look at that.

I mean, look.

Betty.

Honey?

Happy, happy Halloween, Halloween, Halloween

Happy, happy Halloween, Silver Shamrock.

Happy, happy Halloween, Halloween, Halloween

Happy, happy Halloween, Silver Shamrock.

It's almost time, kids.

The clock is ticking.

Be in front of your TVsets

for the "Horrorathon."

And during the big giveaway at nine.

Don't miss it.

And don't forget to wear your masks.

The clock is ticking. It's almost time.

Happy, happy Halloween, Halloween, Halloween

Happy, happy Halloween, Silver Shamrock.

Happy, happy Halloween, Halloween, Halloween

Happy, happy Halloween, Silver Shamrock.

Hurry home. It's almost time.

All those lucky kids with Silver Shamrock masks,

hurry home for the big giveaway.

It's almost time. Hurry home.

What city, please?

The number for Santa Mira,

the Rose of Shannon Motel, please.

555-2462.

Thank you.

I'm sorry. We cannot complete your call as dialed.

Please hang up and dial again. This is a record ...

Hello?

Roger?

Did I wake you?

Oh, sorry.

Listen. I've got something down here

I'd like for you to look at.

What?

I know I could be wrong,

but I don't think it's a car part at all.

Maybe you've seen something like it.

How's tomorrow afternoon?

Tomorrow afternoon?

Okay, great. Thanks, Roger.

Bye.

Oh, my God.

May I help you?

Operator, can you get me the sheriff...

Enjoy the "Horrorathon," Doctor.

And don't forget to watch

the big giveaway afterwards.

Why, Cochran? Why?

Do I need a reason?

Mr. Kupfer was right, you know.

I do love a good joke. And this is the best ever.

A joke on the children.

But there's a better reason.

You don't really know much

about Halloween.

You thought no further than the strange custom of

having your children wear masks and go out

begging for candy.

It was the start of the year in our old Celtic lands

and we'd be waiting ...

in our houses of wattles and clay.

The barriers would be down, you see,

Between the real and the unreal.

And the dead might be looking in ...

to sit by our fires of turf.

Halloween.

The festival of Samhain.

The last great one took place 3,000 years ago

and the hills ran red ...

with the blood of animals and children.

Sacrifices.

It was a part of our world ...

Our craft.

Witchcraft.

- To us, it was a way of controlling our environment.

It's not so different now.

It's time again.

In the end ...

We don't decide these things, you know.

The planets do.

They're in alignment.

And it's time again.

The world's going to change tonight, Doctor.

I'm glad you'll be able to watch it.

And...

happy Halloween.

Cochran.

- It's just that work ...

Oh, yes, yes, of course.

Tonight's just for fun. A way of saying

"thank you" to all our good customers.

Mr. Cochran.

I have good news for you.

It'll long just a moment.

It's always a pleasure doing

business with you. It is indeed.

A 43 share.

You think so?

Good. And I hope the little ones

will be watching.

Don't forget to tell them to watch

the big giveaway at 9:00.

Thank you for calling. Good-bye.

Thanks. Bye.

Sir?

Malfunction.

Camera two.

Hello?

Linda, Linda...

Where the hell have you been? I waited all night.

Shut up, shut up. Linda, shut up. Listen, listen.

You have to get rid of the masks ...

the Silver Shamrock ...

No, no.

The ones that I gave them? You want me to what?

In the Santa Mira.

They killed Buddy Kupfer and his whole family.

They killed him.

That's not enough ...

We've lost him.

No, we haven't.

You'll see.

No, no, no, I'm not drunk.

Linda, listen. You have to get rid of the masks.

Just ...

You want me to what?

You're just jealous because...

I'm not. Linda, listen.

Go to hell!

Ellie. Ellie. Ellie!

South corridor.

Come on.

Wait here.

It's time, it's time.

Time for the big giveaway.

Halloween has come.

All you lucky kids with Silver Shamrock masks,

gather 'round your TVset.

Put on your masks and watch.

All witches, all skeletons, all jack-o'- lanterns

gather 'round and watch.

Watch the magic pumpkin.

Watch ...

...in the eastern valley we're expecting overcast sky

and 50% chance of rain thru monday.

It's presently 74 degrees at ...

8:
48 p.m.

The clock is ticking.

Hurry home, kids.

And happy Halloween.

We've gotta do something,

call somebody. Huh?

Ellie, you all right?

Ellie!

Your phone, your phone, where

is it? It's life and death.

Hey, don't I know you?

Happy, happy Halloween, Halloween, Halloween ...

- If it goes out it means a death of millions of people

everyone watching. Don't you understand that?

"If"...

Well, say it's a bomb. Say whatever you want.

Say whatever you like. Just get if off the air.

Please! Just ...

No, no! I can't prove it!

You've gotta believe me! Believe me!

Take it off the air now! Please!

You've got to, please.

Please excuse the interruption.

We're having technical problems.

Please stand by.

It's time. It's time.

We are experiencing technical difficulties.

Please, stand by.

Gather 'round your TV set.

Put on your masks and watch.

All witches, all skeletons, all jack-o'- lanterns ...

The third commercial,

it's still on. Please.

Take out the third channel.

The third channel it's still running. Stop it, please.

For God's sake, please stop it.

There's no more time.

You've gotta... Please, stop it.
