Dr. Dan Challis and murder victim daughter Ellie Grimbridge uncover a terrible plot by small-town mask maker Conal Cochran, a madman planning a Halloween mass murder utilizing an ancient Celtic ritual.

This is one of the wildest directions you can take a franchise, and I fully respect it. It's not perfect, but this film should receive its due flowers, being recognized as its own thing and not the "weird" Halloween movie without Michael Myers.
