It is the most logical explanation of the otherwise baffling unacceptance or misunderstanding of the film in modern horror cinema.
1993 was of course a couple of years before the post-modern revolution, but films like ROTLD3 and TCM4 were already dabbling in self-referential before everything had to be so clever and knowing to the teenyboppers.

i think for me - at the time - it was a steady progression away from the flavour of the 1st film....and i loved the 1st film.
I guess I wanted more of the same.
I just found my VHS copy of #3 .. it's a screener... i'll have to give it another go and try to view it on its own merits ..
