This third part of the Evergreen Lane franchise echoes the playfulness, warmth, and charm of the original. (I am not a fan of the Christmas sequel.)
The reference to the ancient Irish origins was a welcome surprise--though its widespread continuation, due to the Western Christian All Hallows (aka Saints) Eve thru to the festival of Dia de los Muertos (aka Day of the Dead or All Souls), was not added.
It also would have been fun to include the "new couple on the block" more since they provided such a wonderful energy during their opening scenes and could have been given their own happy subplot interacting with each favorite character in the trilogy. And what about that missing husband for our "Doctor of Arts & Crafts"?
If you're looking for fun ways to observe Halloween with friends or family, you'll find some fine ideas here. Watch this flick with the innocence of a child's heart and a smile on your face. It is reminiscent of a classic Hallmark romcom.

What might appear to be a low rating is really only understood when one identifies this flick as an art film.
As a gay flick, it is particularly stark. It is not a romcom, though it's about the philosophical four loves known to humanity (cf., C. S. Lewis). There's no content to warrant an X-rating, though the cast is hot. (You'll see!) There's little cussing, though the dialogue is filled with emotion.
Want a quiet night "in a Brooklyn brownstone?" Sit back and enjoy "A Stormy Night."

Which of these scenes were not included in Animal House, a 1970s flick about post-50s, early 1960s collegiate life?
Freshmen expectations, beer, fake IDs, beer, partying, beer, blood, beer, cafeteria drama, beer, scoring, beer, fraternity antics, beer, confusion, beer, change in academic plans for lust, beer, etc.
With many "out" people and groups on campus today, the coming out fears expressed relate to a few (while in the time period of Animal House, most were mocked, shunned, or worse).
Which begs the question: who is the intended audience of this series?
I'm not really sure. And what is its redeeming value? Haven't discovered it yet, but I'm only midway through episode 4.
