How crazy is Halloween III? It's crazy! Not every day that you see a horror movie whose villain wants the wholesale slaughter of children, never mind that the plan involves masks that, when triggered, make snakes come out of kids' faces. I don't understand the science behind it, but I sure do love it.

  1. I always like to think that Cochran's druids were somehow connected/a precursor to the Thorn cult in the following movies for the Halloween series, and that while Michael Myers was the first "Shape" in parts one and two, there were other people (or androids) brainwashed (or programmed) to continue on a killing spree for some nefarious reason/s. =)

    Oof, The Innocents... such a hauntingly good film! ^_^
