Why it’s HorroRated

Halloween III gets a bad reputation for not having Michael Myers in it, which is unfair. It's a strange, focused little film about an ancient evil and a mask company with a plan, and it has a jingle that will live in your head forever. Give it a shot without the franchise expectations and it plays completely differently.

Synopsis

The film follows a doctor and a woman investigating events connected to a Silver Shamrock factory. The plan behind it is rooted in something ancient and completely committed to its own internal logic. Divisive on release and still divisive now, but give it a shot without the franchise expectations and it plays completely differently.
