How can one film I hated growing up become a total gem, Dan O'Herlihy plays Conrad Cochran the genius toy maker who plans a spectacular phenomenon on halloween with a advert and kids to be wearing their masks. Tom Atkins plays the doctor Daniel Challis who gets involved in the mystery of the man carrying a mask and Stacey Nelkin as Ellie the daughter of the man killed. The story does seem a bit far fetched using Stonehenge as a metaphor for the evil plan but that can be forgiven as the film does have it's suspenseful moments and great visual effects.

Ha, ha, holy s**t! Guess what I just watched last night...

Halloween III - Season of the Witch. A bizarre murder/suicide sees a shaken doctor team up with the daughter of the murdered man to investigate the strange event, an investigation that leads to a small town that plays host to "Silver Shamrock", a novelty toy company that specialise in Halloween masks - and an insane toymaker with devilish plans for American children on Halloween night. The third in the Halloween franchise, which famously - or infamously - eschews the usual Michael Myers slasher shenanigans in favour of a standalone sci-fi/supernatural horror hybrid, is still a genuinely good film in its own right, with a compellingly nightmarish atmosphere.
