Well a-lot of you were wondering if I would include this film in my review, despite the fact there’s no Michael Myers, it IS a Halloween film. John Capenter’s idea was that Myers died at the end of “H2” and the franchise could move forward without him with a different Halloween related story every year. So on that basis let’s take a look at it as a stand alone film.<\/p>\n

Silver Shamrock Novelties are getting ready for Halloween, the masks are selling like hot cakes, the problem is, is that customers don’t know that these masks contain a computer chip that activates the mask to kill the wearer when the Silver Shamrock tune plays on TV.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>With a cast containing Tom Atkins, Nancy Kyes & Dan O’Herlihy this film does have strong actors, The casting of Horror Favourite Tom Atkins was a stroke of genius. The truth is, is that if you take away the fact there’s no Myers it IS a good film, it has a feel of “Invasion Of The Body Snatchers” especially with the ending. It’s such a shame its just overlooked by people because of the no Myers prospect and it was a brave move from Carpenter and it could’ve worked out if not for people just wanting Myers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>If you haven’t watched it in a while I really suggest that you do, Don’t look at as a down-point of the Halloween franchise, look at it as a stand alone film and you might change your mind on the film. It truly was a great story with great acting, come on who doesn’t love Mr. Tom “Thrill me” Atkins?!<\/p>\n

Just imagine what the franchise could’ve become if this was successful, instead of the countless films ruining Myers mystique we could’ve had a different original story every year for our beloved holiday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It’s hard to process that thought isnt’t it? Now let’s see if you can sit through the entire Silver Shamrock commercial ;)
