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.

Not to be taken too seriously.
A rather shallow Halloween anthology
Another low budget cult-style Halloween movie, this one an anthology of around ten short tales. It's not on par with the much better TRICK 'R TREAT, which has real depth; by comparison, many of these stories are too short and merely there to offer cheesy gore at the climax rather than anything approaching proper scares or atmosphere. What it has going for it is a by now familiar '80s throwback feel, with lots of fun cameos from Joe Dante, John Landis and Adrienne Barbeau reprising her role from THE FOG, and plenty of special effects. It is a bit shallow and a bit cheap though, be warned.
Comedy Halloween
As the titles suggests we get a couple of stories that are all connected in a way (Halloween and all). There are also a lot of people who are famous (or infamous) in the horror genre that are involved with this. In front of the camera and behind it too. While this was playing at a few Fesstvals, it seems "real" Horror fans didn't quite like it as much as it was intended to be liked.
They are the core and main audience, but the general feeling was that this is too "light" (not enough gore, not dark enough and more things that might make this seem a bit too mainstream). If you don't mind that or maybe don't see it that way at all, you will have a lot of fun though. The effects are good and the acting is more than decent too. Recognizing the people on the screen as they walk by ... You'll either like that or don't care. It's a fun affair though and should not be seen as anything else ...
