Halloween III: Season of the Witch

I love John Carpenter's Halloween franchise, but the only one that I thought it wasn't all that good was the third one which is the Season of the Witch. I thought it would have a witch involved with Michael Myers, but it wasn't. It had to do with an malevolent business man making masks for children and when they watch some commercial about the masks, and a flashing pumpkin, then all hell breaks loose. The masks would have bugs, snakes and any poisonous or deadly critter killing the children. Then having robots who look like people killing off anyone that know what is going on. I know it could be Carpenter's style considering another person did it.

 A large Halloween mask-making company has plans to kill millions of American children with something sinister hidden in Halloween masks. The rating for this was 3.9/10. I have to agree because, I mean if you have the first two about a killer and you change it and it had nothing to do with Michael Myers except advertizing it on a television. That's going to leave fans in question, about what does it have to do with Michael Myers? Now if it was another title of some sort, then it would have been okay probably have a better rating. But being as it may, that it's part of the Halloween franchise, it's expected to get a poor rating. I mean the plot needed to be a bit better, it was very cliched. Cliched as in that the businessman was very well liked and then turned evil because of being tradition to the 'real' meaning of Halloween and it was more of a thrill kill too. What's worse is that it was obvious that his first victims of the commercial and the masks was his best seller and his wife and child. I didn't even find it scary either, I guess apparently not a lot people either.
