Review:
A'ight well likely you've heard this is a stinker and odds are you'll agree after watching this. The biggest reason this was a bad idea is that it really doesn't belong in the Halloween series. Had it been given an appropriate title like "Halloween Masks Of Evil" folks wouldn't feel so cheated. Michael Meyers makes an appearance, but only briefly in a tv advert and that is it. Don't expect to find Jamie Lee Curtis anywhere either because it's not going to happen. Instead we get this robostupid idea about a mask maker who puts chips of a boulder from Stonehenge in halloween masks. When a special (annoyingly infectious) jingle is played the Masks seem to murder the wearer. Even if you did release this as a separate story it would be pretty annoyingly dumb and there isn't much horror or even death in this at all. Basically you can totally skip this one while watching through the Halloween series and it won't make one iota of difference to the plot or enjoyment of the other films.
