Jeff M This anthology really gets off to a strong start. Barbeau starts the proceedings as a radio DJ - an obvious nod to her role in THE FOG 35 years earlier - and her memorably husky voice is heard throughout the movie. The first couple segments are rather effective, and I was particularly tickled to see the first one take place in Haddonfield, IL. Horror nuts will immediately recognize this as the city from the HALLOWEEN franchise. Sadly, the early promise disintegrates quickly, with many of the segments not making any sense whatsoever and seemingly existing simply to come up with new and inventive ways of killing off their characters. I often enjoy anthology movies, but fitting 10 short stories into 97 minutes is pushing it. Rotten Tomatoes has a 77% critical approval rating for this one, so apparently there's something I'm missing. But the audience approval is only 41%, so that makes me feel a bit better. If everything else were as strong as the first 20 minutes, I'd give this a hearty recommendation. Unfortunately this is a snowball going downhill if I ever saw one.

The short stories had a way of bringing me back to Halloween as a child.. There is also a lot of dark humor which offsets the gore. . Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/04/23 Full Review M W Very interesting. Stories ran together, at times comical. Definitely would recommend if you want light but something to keep you guessing as well.

One of the better horror anthologies out there and you'll recognize many of the players. I mention what works they did before this movie as they're virtually all either horror icons or have done horror movies. Lots of dark humor, some silliness, and some jump scares. Recommended. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/24/23 Full Review Joshua C It was pretty good! I put it on thinking it was going to be more of a campy movie, or more like Goosebumps. It was a bit bloodier than expected in that regard & more, I would say, like Creepshow. It was fun though! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
