Don't listen to the naysayers
Ask any fan of the Halloween series which film was the worst and nine times out of ten they will tell you that it's Halloween 3. When you ask why, all they will say is "because Michael Myers isn't in it and it has nothing to do with the series". Little do they know, little do they know. Anyway, when John Carpenter still had control of the series, he wanted to steer it away from becoming the series of re-hashes that it would become by steering away from anyplace called Haddonfield and anyone by the last name of Myers, Strode, or Loomis. The story revolves around a doctor (Tom Atkins) who stumbles upon a plot to kill children by a group of druid descendants who manufacture halloween masks (they call themselves Silver Shamrock) that will kill whoever is wearing them when they watch a commercial for the company. Did I mention that there are suit wearing humanoid robots running around doing some killing of their own? It all sounds cheesy, but despite what fans of the series say, Halloween 3 has it's share of creepy moments, and I find it a lot better than many of the other installments of the series. All in all, if your looking for a nice way to kill an afternoon or want something half decent to watch on Halloween, then give this a look, it's not as bad as it is reputed to be.
