The one without Micheal in! Written as an attempt to break away from the Halloween/Micheal Myers franchise. This is the one with the annoying masks, the equally annoying song/TV advert and the evil mask makers who want to kill millions of children on Halloween.
Clearly they had a bad experience from Trick Or Treaters? The film starts a bit like the end of the original version of "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers" with the man and his mask and his claims that "their coming to kill us all" and the creepy men in smart suits. After the man who warned them is killed the local Doctor and the man's daughter decide to trace her fathers footsteps which lead them to a town that has a curfew (come on? no-one challenged a curfew? In America? Never going to happen!).
Of course they discover the town is being controlled by 1 man who is bent on destruction using unexplained (or unexplainable) technology. The mystery men in suits turn out to be automatons covered in wax which explain their superhuman strength. The deadly Silver Shamrock advert is tested on a salesman and his family who are all killed. Of course their both captured and he escapes (having seen clips from Halloween the move on 2 separate occasions) and of course he's stupid enough to go rescue the girl after he tries to warn his wife to protect his own kids.
Using a trick he'd already learned about earlier (which killed the woman in the motel complex) he destroys all the wax automatons and seemingly kills the guy in charge. (it's a bit hazy about exactly what happens with the big stone in the warehouse). After escaping it appears the woman he saved isn't the girl, she's been replaced by a wax automaton so he kills her but is almost killed by her arm. The film ends pretty much the same way it started but he manages to ring the TV stations and warn all but 1 of them. Very weak ending to a very weak film that's thin on plot.
