Tales of Halloween

This is one of these films like V/H/S and ABCs of Death. Well, some of the stories just like in V/HS are amazing, and some suck. Most of these stories should have gotten their full-length films instead of these short segments. Also, I have to say: All women in these short films look beautiful.

1st Story - This story was okay. It isn't anything special but it would have been cool to have more depth in here...

2nd Story: - Okay as well. I enjoyed how the main character with his mate just went out of his way to create crazy stuff. It's not anything ultra, but it's still sort of cool.

3rd Story: - This story was terrible. I just did not care at all. These kids aren't just fun in any way just attacking two couples, why? Boring not good at all in my opinion, typical random slasher stuff.

4th Story -I LOVED THIS ONE. This segment deserves its film! The badass good-looking chick with her two buddies, goes out of their way to bully this young guy, and then the guy gets his revenge, for them taking the lives of his family, with this awesome demon creature, this segment rules. (Would love a full-length film of this).

5th Story - A bad re-creation of the 1st story. Copy and paste boring stuff, your typical Conjuring stuff. No good at all.

6th Story - Weird, not boring but just weird and sort of cool. This couple that are upset cuz they can not have a child. The lady is trying her best to get a child to take care of... So she is trying to entertain the kids for Halloween... It is a cool weird story honestly.

7th Story - The two guys fighting to the death, this was pretty fun to watch too... You can see two sides of Halloween: The regular side, and the extreme side, and then they fight it off. It was sort of cool.

8th Story - The worst story of all. I hated this. First off i do not like Friday the 13th Franchise, i think it is an overrated boring film, and just like any slasher, I was just bored and it was just dull and bad.

9th Story - Goofy. I can't say anything else, these two guys kidnapping this kid that turns out to be a goblin and then tortures them. Nothing special.

10th Story - 2nd BEST STORY: Pumpkin that is alive that is going on a rampage. I enjoyed this story and I'd watch a full version of this too!

AMAZING STORIES: 4th and 10th Story

Decent Stories: 1st Story, 2nd Story, 6th Story, 7th Story,

Terrible Stories: 3rd Story, 5th Story, 8th Story, 9th Story

This movie just like VHS is a big mixed bag. It would be cool to see the 4th and 10th stories in full length films!

Every time an anthology pops up as the weeks movie, I start to get a bit worried. They are very very hit or miss, both the entire anthology and the individual shorts they contain.

For every Helarious (excellent) and there's a ABCs of Death (very inconsistent). So where does this fall? Thankfully on the high end.

I don't think there's a single short I disliked. At most I had wished that a few of them were a bit longer so that they had time to establish their ideas or use their effects more.. erm.. effectively. Don't get me wrong, if the biggest complaint I can have of your anthology is "man I wish some of these shorts were longer" that's a really good place to be in.

These are the ones that spot the middle of the pack. The war between the rockers and the haunted mansion decoration. The lady walking home, the witch that eats kids, the kids attacking the group of friends. All of these needed a bit more time and attention to get the audience on board or for the good vfs to shine.

The winners of the bunch obviously include the alien vs chainsaw massacre, the killer pumpkin, the kid that gets kidnaped, and the devil teaching a kid how to properly prank his neighborhood. These are absolutely worth the watch, and I found little fault with them.

All in all, a good anthology and I'd like to see more from those involved in the production of the shorts. Lord knows we need more clever and creative people making horror movies if the dredges of TUBI are anything to go by.

I really do feel like it could have been something along the vein of Trick r Treat. As it is, the stories seem sort of dull, sort of charming, sort of funny, sort of entertaining... They don't really inspire too much passion, and they don't really stand apart from each other too much either. I definitely wish that I had liked it more, I found it merely okay. It's definitely not bad though, it deserves a watch definitely. And the halloween atmosphere is definitely there. I do think there was potential for more. The stories are mostly not really scary, and they do seem to go for gross outs more than horror, which is fine. Overall, definitely a decent way to sort of spend the time with friends.

Tales of Halloween is an anthology of ten humorous tales of terror.

I just watched this again the other night. I didn't realize that I had already seen this until the movie started. I recognized the first story "Sweet Tooth" right away, but decided to go ahead and watch "Tales of Halloween" again.

Like I said, Tales of Halloween is an anthology of ten spooky, but humorous stories. Adrian Barbeau introduces the first tale, and from that point there are plenty of familiar faces that make appearances including Barry Bostwick, Joe Dante, and Lin Share to name a few.

If you like your horror with a touch of humor, as well as plenty of gore Tales of Halloween is a worthwhile watch.

Let's get right to it- this movie is OK at best. If you are very forgiving when it comes to bad special effects, mediocre acting, and not-so-clever nods (rip offs) to other horror movies (Halloween, Friday the 13th, The Exorcist, for starters...), then you will probably be entertained. It's not the worst, but I had hoped for a little bit better, a specially with some of the names attached. It has the feel of some of those straight-to- video horror movies of the 80's, so, if that's your thing, try this one out. I watched this on pay per view, so now I'm feeling a sense of loss (the 5.99 I paid to watch this flick). To summarize: if you don't have anything to do, you're easily entertained, and you are not a horror snob, this movie will probably be watchable.
