An interesting Idea...
Not sure who's idea it was to not use Michael Myers for this film. In the intro to the DVD, filmmakers claimed they wanted to create a new Halloween related story annually that could rise many takes on different scary stories I suppose akin to like The Twilight Zone?

The movie was a dismal failure at the time of release, but the years have been kinder to the film arriving a now cult status.

Mysterious Halloween masks are the subject of the film and the unusual maskmaker behind them. What do they do? What is their secret?

I liked the idea and first/middle of the film but the payoff seemed a bit disappointing and unfulfilled.

It was John Carpenter's idea! He originally intended for every Halloween to have a different story with different characters, but the success of the first movie meant that studio execs forced another Myers centric movie immediately afterwards resulting in Halloween II where Michael was supposed to die at the end. Unfortunately, Halloween III's low box office performance out an end to his anthology idea and they ended up bringing Michael back for better or worse!
