Personally I thought it was very imaginative, and a lot of fun. But I like just about anything written by Nigel Kneale.
In 1990 I spent about 2 months working at Don Post Studios where the masks were created, and saw the original molds for those things. It was a cool thing! What was it again? A pumpkin, a witch and a skull...I think the skull was already a part of their line of masks, and the other two were designed for the film.
When I first saw the film (on cable TV) it seriously freaked me and my friend out...we couldn't believe what we were seeing. In my mind I amplified the gory images, and had exaggerated memories of them for years. When I saw the film again in the mid-90's, I was surprised at how tame it had become. But it was still fun, and Stacey Nelkin was seriously cutie-cutie.
