 | The third instalment and the "what were they thinking?" part of the franchise! A blip on the radar of the Halloween movies, that for some reason best known to the makers doesn't feature Michael Myers. And in fact has no reference or connection to the other two Halloween movies that came before it. The whole slasher theme which made the original Halloween such a successful cult film is ignored, and instead the movie is about witches with some quasi-sci-fi thing going on. The story involves androids and masks with electronic chips that are supposed to have a fragment of Stonehenge in them. I'm already confused and will leave the story-line there. Although I do remember the commercial that was played on TV that activated the chips was creepy. But apart from that I really remember little else from this movie. But saying that, I do remember something, which is a lot better than many (and there has been a a lot) of horror movies I've watched. over the years. So maybe, just maybe, it isn't as bad as it seems. If you take it as a tongue-in-cheek parody that is. |
The creator of the creepy Halloween mask used in the movie Don Post was quoted as saying, "Because the masks are so significant to the movie, they could become a cult item, with fans wanting to wear them when they go to see the movie." Unbeknownst to him at the time they likely have become cult items, but not for the reasons he imagined.
