Deadbeat dad Dr. Dan Challis (Tom Atkins) takes a break from drinking and sexually harassing the nurses to investigate a weird murder-suicide. An assassin (Dick Warlock) kills a hardware shop owner (Al Berry) before setting himself on fire in his car. Dan partners up with the owner's hot daughter, Ellie (Stacey Nelkin), to travel to the company town of Santa Mira, home of Silver Shamrock Novelties. Silver Shamrock makes the masks dear old dad was clutching and raving about when he was admitted to the hospital. Posing as potential buyers, Dan and Ellie take a closer look around the factory and its creepy CEO, Conal Cochran (Dan O'Herlihy).
Dan is a disgusting pig of a man. The script is stupid and makes zero sense. Some of the gore is decent practical effect work but there's not enough of it to warrant watching this. Might be a so-bad-it's-funny with the right atmosphere. I can't condone it, though. Peacock has every entry in the franchise. Skip this one.
