'Halloween III' is senseless, strange, and stupid, completely unrelated to the other Halloween films, yet somehow considered part of the series, with John Carpenter and Debra Hill as producers, so they endorsed this mess. Tom Atkins is a doctor named Dan Challis, who meets Ellie (Stacey Nelkin), and helps her try to find out what happened to her father.
The investigation leads them to a factory that makes Halloween masks, which are going to be used by a warlock to murder millions of children on the titular holiday. How? Well, each mask has a device on it that is triggered by a signal emitted from the commercials that advertise the masks, and then a bunch of bugs start pouring out of the kids' faces, sometimes along with snakes and other gross creatures. At least, this is what happens to one unfortunate youngster, who gets to "test" one of the masks. So, Challis and Ellie have to thwart this plot. The special effects are awful, it is not scary in the slightest, and it takes itself way too seriously. The warlock is Conal Cochran (Dan O'Herlihy), and his henchmen are all robots who bleed yellow fluid. Well, I am not really sure he is a warlock, but I don't know what else to call him. Don't ask me why they decided to make this. I won't say it is the worst horror movie I have ever seen, but it comes close.

| I really never felt this was as bad as people make it out to be. It just shouldn't have had the Halloween title attached to it. |

Carpenter wanted the sequels subsequent to II to be Halloween themed movies, but not necessarily about Michael Myers. He was trying to stave off what eventually happened with the franchise: it's descent into mediocrity and often outright inanity.
By the way, this is the only Halloween film that I like at all. |
