Rating (out of 5):

     Many of you know how much I enjoy the films of Chris Seaver and his production companies Low Budget Pictures and Warlock Home Video.  I had collected his films for damn near 20 years now when I bought Ghoul School with two Chris Seaver flicks in it.  I fell in love with them and sought out more of his films immediately.  Sometime later I found a website for Warlock Home Video with obvious fake names attached.  It wasn't until years later that I discovered this was another gimmick from Seaver.  These became some of my favorite releases in my collection and movies I often hope Seaver would revisit with sequels or spinoffs.  Over the years we've been luck enough to get a few sequels and a "remake" to his Halloween classic Death O'Lantern and at the end of last year he gave us Death O'Lantern 3: Corn on the Mac-Cob.  I thought I had ordered a copy but I completely forgot to and missed watching it on Halloween.  I rectified that as soon as I realized and added it to my viewing list.  

     The film follows a young woman who finds herself spilling blood on a pumpkin plant.  This awakens the monstrous Stingy Jack yet again who sets out this time to find himself a bride using the very woman who raised him with her blood.  

      The Death O'Lantern series has some ups and downs but this one is pure Chris Seaver carnage.  It's full of horny dialogue, fun one liners, and kills that fit the film perfectly.  This one was meant to be a lot more absurd than the previous films and it succeeds.  The acting in this one is exactly what  you would expect from a Seavage flick.  The cast is just having fun in front of the camera but it translates very well with the humor the film is looking for.  They have bigger than life personalities and they give the film everything they got to make it entertaining.  The story for this one continues with the saga of Stingy Jack without overstaying it's welcome.  The film itself is not that long and the story fits in the run time very well.  We have a lot of humor and a story straight out of a direct to video horror flick of the 90s.  Stingy is resurrected by accident when a woman cuts herself on a pumpkin plant. She then becomes connected with the monster who wants her to carry his children.  It's fun, straight forward, and extremely funny.  Finally, the film, like a lot of Chris Seaver's flicks, have minimal effects.  We get some fake blood and some effects that fits the theme of the film but they are nothing memorable or that stands out.  Overall, Death O' Lantern 3: Corn on the Mac-Cob is a fantastic installment in the already must see Death O' Lantern series.  It's the type of no budget fun that I'm always on the look out for.  I highly recommend it.
