Tales of Halloween

It's not a bad movie, in the tradition of horror movies told in segments. For those of you that love the hard hitting, serious horror movies, this is one to pass by, as it's quite whimsical and light, horror for young teens.

Some of the segments are poor, some are ok, the last two are perhaps the best of all. The acting varies from poor to decent, and the special effects, they are as you'd expect from a low budget horror.

You will see the odd dead body twitching, but who cares, it's a fun watch for Old Hallow's Eve. 5/10.

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.

Divided in ten segments by ten different directors, "Tales of Halloween" is an entertaining horror–comedy film in the style of "Tales from the Crypt" with the theme of Halloween.

1st) "Sweet Tooth": A boy collects candies in the Halloween, and his babysitter and her boyfriend tells the legend of an evil being that has sweet tooth and kills those who do not share candies with him. They eat the boy's candies and discover the truth about the legend. This tale is funny and gore. My vote is six.

2nd) "The Night Billy Raised Hell": a boy dressed like a devil is forced by his sister and her boyfriend to throw an egg at the house of a secluded man. However the man is the devil and he teaches how to create havoc in the Halloween night. This tale is also funny because of the devil's tricks and has a surprising end. My vote is seven.

3rd) "Trick": a group of drugged and drunken friends are attacked by kids that ring the bell and break in their house. Why are they under attack? This gory tale has an intriguing screenplay with a surprising end. My vote is six.

4th) "The Weak and the Wicked": a gang led by a teenage girl bullies a teenager and he summons a demon. The three bullies hunt him down and he run to the place where his house and his parents had been burned to ashes by the gang. This dark tale of revenge is too short and could be a little longer, but with a surprising end. My vote is five.

5th) "Grim Grinning Ghost": a young woman goes to a Halloween party at her mother's home that tells a story of a fiend. When she goes home, her car breaks and she has to walk home. She startles with footsteps and a laugh behind her on the street. Could it be the evil spirit? This tale has a creepy atmosphere and a scary conclusion. My vote is six.

6th) "This Means War": a man discovers that his wife is a witch that likes to eat children. This tale is silly and one of the weakest of this anthology. My vote is five.

7th) "This Means War": a man is proud of his Halloween decoration that attracts many viewers. However his new neighbor with his friends dispute with him the best decoration and they begin a war. This tale is a tragic comedy with a stupid situation. My vote is five.

8th) "Friday the 31st": a disfigured serial-killer confronts an alien that possesses the body of one of his victims. This silly tale is a parody of Friday the 13th but the fight between Jason and the alien does not work well. My vote is five.

9th) "The Ransom of Rusty Rex": two thieves abduct the son of a wealthy man o ask for ransom. However the man refuses to pay and the men have a surprise. This tale is certainly the best one with a great twist. My vote is eight.

10th) "Bad Seed": a man carves a pumpkin that eats him. A skeptic detective has to hunt down the pumpkin and finds where it was produced. This tale is also great with a trash story. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

Why are people so serious about everything? This is a great movie. It's entertaining and fun.

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!
