THE TWONKY (1953)

HALLOWEEN III – The whole plot hinges on a signal buried in a tv ad.
Of course the jingle used in the ad is itself enough to make a
person’s head blow up. “Three more days to Halloween, Halloween,
Halloween…..”

I haven't seen it in ages, but it seems like I didn't much care for it.
Others here may have a different opinion. But you can't call yourself a
horror fan if you haven't seen it at least once.
Just don't accidentally get a hold of that Nicolas Cage movie, "Season
of the Witch." Even you deserve better than that.

Do so, and you might just fall in-love with it! It's a "guilty
pleasure" fave of mine (but should never have used the HALLOWEEN
name)!

Although didn't Carpenter intend a loose series of fillums with the notion of
"Halloween" tying them all together?
I'm probably talking tosh here.

I'm not generally a slasher fan but the first one was oodles of fun. Still
makes me jump occasionally.

The premise is kind of ridiculous, but if you can get past that, it’s
pretty darn good. Some nice creepy moments and the leads acquit
themselves well. Kind of an old fashioned idea - hence the script
credited iirc to (Knock Off) Nigel Kneale – filtered through an 80s
horror sensibility. It’s my favorite entry in the Halloween series
too. Definitely worth a look to decide for yourself.
My copy of the dvd is signed by Tom Atkins, so there!
White Spirit
I rather liked it. It was very tacky, but fun.

Yup, that one sucks no matter which way you slice it. :P If they had
called it something else we'd just be referring to it as "that really
shitty giant iguana movie".

Not to my knowledge, but that doesn't mean it isn't so.

He was always a handsome addition to a Carpenter film..
Adam Dolan
Agreed. Although my favorite of his many roles is the one in Night Of
The Creeps. "Thrill me."
