This deserves a star for being the most original of the Halloween series - the problem is that it's also probably the worst. Dumping the Michael Myers storyline, the film has a mad millionaire toy mogul (Dan O'Herlihy) planning a very nasty All Hallows Eve surprise by supplying children with lethal Halloween masks. Tom Atkins plays the father who inadvertently stumbles across the evil plan. There are a few good gory bits, but the story is plain daft, and the direction from Tommy Lee Wallace - John Carpenter's editor on the original Halloween and The Fog - is disappointing.
Plot Summary
Science-fiction horror starring Tom Atkins and Daniel O'Herlihy. An evil inventor in California develops a novelty mask with which he plans to kill the country's children on Halloween night. Doctor Dan Challis discovers the plot and begins a race against time to stop it.
