- "Tricks, Treats, and Terrors: The Masks of 'Halloween III'" (7:29, HD) is an interview with art director and lead sculptor Justin Mabry, who grew up obsessed with "Halloween." Learning more about mask making as he matured, Mabry experimented with style and materials before co-founding his own company. The interviewee detail mask history, exploring the origins of the "Halloween III" trio and his efforts to recreate Silver Shamrock seasonal gear.

Wallace opens with a story about his dismay with "Halloween II," dropping out as a director, fearing his relationship with John Carpenter and Debra Hill was lost. The producing pair came to Wallace to do something with "Halloween III," envisioned as a stand-alone horror movie that could spawn sequels and more spin-offs.

Casting is analyzed, with much respect paid to Dan O'Herlihy, who came prepared for his villainous part. Locations are remembered, along with mask making and costume design.
