A mad mask and toy maker has a terrible project: to destroy humanity on Halloween night; for this, he has designed and marketed Halloween masks capable of transforming those who wear them into horrible crawling animals. A doctor, who learns of his project, will try in vain to stop him. It is the only standalone episode of the Halloween saga, here Michael Myers has nothing to do with it, and it is a sort of horror fairy tale, diligently directed and discreetly acted; it does not scare but it is watchable. Without infamy or praise.
