Baron Von Laugho's Halloween Spook-A-Thon! Special Restored Edition

It's one of those movies where it's the weekend, nothing is on, everyone is gone and you just want to (420) take a nap fall asleep to movies.

It's not bad but if you aren't asleep by 10 mins. In, you probably got interested in it.

So then it worked for those that fell asleep and those that saw something they liked,

That's why i gave it a 7.

For one who did fall asleep it worked wonders.

For the "can't sleep let me watch this and see what happens because it is that stupid and I am too tired to change to something else." watcher in me for what it is a small home made movie it's decent.

I got exactly what I expected and know that even if I had the resources to do this, i doubt I could do any better. THIS took bravery and a willingness to put yourself out there and I deeply admire that, it's real.

I'll put it plain and simple right here: this one may not scratch too many peoples' itch.

A cornucopia of lowbrow dark humor, poor production, and run-of-the-mill acting combine to deliver us a handful of not-so-tasty morsels.

On the first count: Baron Von Laugho, the crass clown and our host for the evening's festivities, kicks things off with some over-the-top, yet disenchanting melodrama. The film contains a lot of intentional lowbrow humor, that works well in theory, but doesn't always hit its mark. That said, I found myself smirking at "Murder-O's." I also got a small chuckle out of the twist in the wraparound story.

On the second count: This film sets itself up as found footage. On theme, we experience VHS overlay effects. You know the ones: film grain, audio distortions, and issues with saturation. If you didn't grow up with VHS, you may find these effects intolerable.

On the third count: This anthology presents some unique ideas that suffer from mediocre performances and a low production value, resulting in a certain campiness that isn't completely unbearable if you're into that sort of thing. But for the most part I think this anthology won't appeal to too many people.

We are treated to 3 tales.

Below are brief Plot Summaries:

That's No Bear!: There have been reports of people disappearing in the forest. One hunter becomes particularly concerned.

The Karvers: Shot in black and white, and complete with commercial breaks, we watch an episode of "The Karvers," a nuclear family headed by a serial killer.

The Hallowed Sin: A door-to-door evangelist pays a visit to a woman's home one Halloween night.
