“A young boy tells three stories of horror to distract a witch who plans to eat him.” – via IMDB.Īlso known as the “real Creepshow 3”.

Tales From The Darkside: The Movie (1990) The only difference between them is budget and Trick ‘r Treat is a tad more creative.Ĭheck it out digitally here, or physically here. Other than the shared Halloween theme, this flick compliments Trick ‘r Treat as they both have heart! The love of Samhain embraces each entry, and you can feel it pulse through their warm candy-filled veins. If you really like cameos and are well-versed in horror culture, you’re going to love this one.Īs I said before, none of the tales are the “best-thing-ever”, but there’s more than enough charm to carry the film through. Adrienne Barbeau lends her iconic vocals as the film’s narrator, with appearances from such genre-veterans as John Landis, Tiffany Shepis, Alex Essoe, Lin Shaye, Barbara Crampton, Mick Garris, Stuart Gordan (he’ll be forever missed), Pollyanna McIntosh –you can break for coffee if you need, it’s a long list– Felissa Rose, Adam Green, Nick Principe, Pat Healy, John Savage (of Carnosaur 2 fame), Greg McLean, and Joe Dante.
Some familiar faces of horror show up here. There’s also a fun riff on the slasher genre involving aliens, starting as Friday the 13thbefore becoming Evil Dead 2. There’s a whole lot of evil in this package, let me tell you. It’s refreshing!Ī lot of fun concepts are presented here, ranging from evil neighbor-grandpa Satan, to evil baby-fever witch, to even evil man-eating pumpkins. The Halloween spirit completely possesses this film, and it doesn’t ever get exorcised, not even for a second. Not every story is a banger, but that doesn’t even matter due to just how much the feeling of the holiday permeates from it. Hell, it’s not even one of the best Halloween flicks out there. It’s not an “unsung gem of the genre”, or some kind of “so-bad-it’s-good treasure”. Look, I’m not going to sit here and speak the praises for Tales of Halloween. “Ten stories are woven together by their shared theme of Halloween night in an American suburb, where ghouls, imps, aliens and axe murderers appear for one night only to terrorize unsuspecting residents.” – via IMDB. They’re both horror anthologies, they’re both set around Halloween, and they’re both filled with scares/gore/spooky cheer! You really can’t go wrong with this combo.Ĭheck out digitally here, or physically here. I’m sure the reasons for this pairing are obvious, but I don’t want to assume, so I’ll lay it out. Who would’ve thought? I think it’s neat seeing Romero doing a less-serious project as opposed to his normal dower social commentary.

Turns out, when you have George Romero, Stephen King, and Tom Savini go full throttle on some of the campiest, spookiest horror this side of the afterlife, fun stuff gets made. Just perfect.Ībusive zombie dads wanting sweetbreads, space weeds, love-triangle beach fun, fluffy crate monsters, and roaches (LOTS of ‘em) all these tales the Creep can’t wait to share with you! The amount of creativity that went into making this film feel like a comic is nothing short of great. Just know I’m prepared to die on this hill.Īlso, it’s by far my favorite Romero movie. Being proudly inspired by 50s EC Comics, I feel it fits into the category, but your mileage might vary on that. Let me think… well, it’s my favorite comic book flick of all time. What can I say that hasn’t already been said about this show for creeps? Creepshow! The best Halloween anthology movie ever made! Hey, we were only pretending Trick ‘r Treat was the best before, remember? How could it be the top when Creepshow exists? It’s a really close second, though!
