"Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III" (1990)
Unlucky travelers on a deserted back road are menaced by Leatherface and his cannibal family. Fast moving but ultimately pretty run-of-the-mill stuff in spite of a cast that includes a pre-"Lord of the Rings" Viggo Mortenson and Ken "Dawn of the Dead" Foree.

"Halloween III: Season of the Witch" (1982)
A small town doctor (Tom Atkins) discovers a Druid plot to kill millions on Halloween night via booby trapped masks and a sinister TV signal. This unsuccessful attempt to pivot the "Halloween" franchise away from Michael Myers and turn it into an annual series of stand alone films tanked when it was first released but it's become a cult item in the years since.

^I've been interested in that one for years, but never got around to tracking it down.

THE BALTIMORONS: A series of coincidences lead a newly-sober comic to spend Christmas Eve with a grumpy divorcée dentist. The title suggests something far wackier, but believable characterizations drive this romantic dramedy. 3/5.
