Thoughts before I watched this.
1. Didn't know anything about this until I saw a review.
2. I was surprised by how many well known names were attached to this from horror icon writers/directors (both on and behind the scenes) to horror regular actors.
3. The trailer looked like fun with a mixture of gore and comedy.
4. This was Ben Woolf's (mostly known for American Horror Story) final film. :(
5. Ugh unfortunately it has the dreadful Lin Shaye.
6. I just hope I don't have to see too much of her.
"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."
Thoughts while I watched this.
1. That's an interesting way to do the opening credits while introducing which each segment will be.
2. The whole radio broadcaster shtick reminds me of A Christmas Horror Story.
3. It is neat to point out though that Adrienne Barbeau has done that before in the original The Fog.
4. It kind of goes right into the segments though without really telling you which one you are watching.
5. I guess you have to pay attention to the opening credits to see the location which is kind of tedious if you want to review each segment separately like me.
6. At some points you see or hear a connection with the other stories which I thought was well thought out.
Sweet Tooth:
1. The way I figured out this one is because they mentioned the title through the characters.
2. This is written directed by Dave Parker.
3. He hasn't been too impressive with writing the horrible House of the Dead and directing the average The Hills Run Red.
4. Wow those parents are total killjoys!
5. Well we see where he gets his personality.
6. Oh wow didn't see that little twist to the story coming.
7. Nice they are watching the classic Night of the Living Dead.
8. Oh my that's not a good sign.
9. This girl's skirt is way too short for her to be babysitting a young boy in.
10. Oh that was amusingly creepy.
11. LMAO that ending was priceless!
12. This is definitely an 8/10.
The Night Billy Raised Hell:
1. Another title figured out by the mention of a character's name.
2. This one is directed by Darren Lynn Bousman and written by newcomer Clint Sears.
3. Bousman has brought us several enjoyments with Saw 2-4, Repo! The Genetic Opera, and Mother's Day (Remake).
4. I truly hope he keeps up the good work with this story.
5. I swear the older teen in this segment is somehow related to a guy I went to high school with.
6. That kid got knocked over with an egg lol!
7. That dude is creepy.
8. Is anybody going to realize that that just happened?
9. Oh my what have we got here Satan's little helper?
10. Haha that's an amusing little cameo.
11. Oh I didn't see that coming.
12. That was totally messed up in a very comical way.
13. Not an amazing segment, but it was amusing.
14. It definitely was more along the lines of Repo! than Bousman's other work.
15. I would give this one a low 6/10.
Trick:
1. I had to just find a review that has the segments reviewed in order.
2. This segment was directed by Adam Gierasch with no one credited for writing.
3. I wasn't a big fan of his Night of the Demons remake so that doesn't give me too much hope for this.
4. Oh Tiffany Shepis I've met her!
5. Night of the Living Dead again yay!
6. Aww she is so adorable.
7. Wow holy shit I did not see that coming.
8. Oh damn that's just messed up!
9. This really escalated quickly!
10. What in the hell!?
11. That was truly wicked!
12. What a fantastic and extremely unexpected twist!
13. Looks like Gierasch stepped his game up.
14. For me this segment is 10/10!
The Weak and the Wicked:
1. This is another film with no writer attached.
2. The director Paul Solet is someone I haven't watched yet, but I have been aware of at least one of his works Dark Summer.
3. Let's hope he tells a good story.
4. That is not what I thought was happening.
5. These aren't your typical bullies.
6. BooBoo Stewart as a bully is kind of funny though.
7. I dig those tattoos though.
8. Damn those three have some serious issues.
9. Ahhh that is one intense looking monster!
10. The end was alright, but as a whole this kind of felt lacking.
11. I would give this one an upper 6/10.
Grim Grinning Ghost:
1. This is written/directed by former actress Axelle Carolyn (of Centurion and Doomsday fame).
2. Ugh this is the Lin Shaye segment...
3. There are a few recognizable faces in this one.
4. Why does Lin Shaye have to talk so much out of everyone.
5. Oh thank goodness she is gone!
6. That's what you get dumbass lol.
7. Man they are trying to make me all jumpy with their shots and noises.
8. I think that's considered cheating! On a side not kind cute lol.
9. I give this a 5/10.
10. Interestingly enough the creator of this anthology has the worst segment for me.
Ding Dong:
1. Lucky McKee is the writer/director of this segment.
2. Of his work I have only seen The Woman and All Cheerleaders Die both of which I absolutely enjoyed!
3. I hope this is just as exciting as his previous films.
4. Ummm okaaaay?
5. Interesting design though I guess.
6. Oh nice wasn't expecting that!
7. Well I give it props for being different.
8. I also take back what I said about the last segment.
9. This by far is the most ridiculous thing I've seen here yet.
10. Lucky does not need to do things with too much comedy.
11. This is a highly disappointing 2/10.
This Means War:
1. This is written/directed by both Andrew Kasch and John Skipp.
2. Both of them have worked on the Nightmare on Elm Street series.
3. Kasch directed a documentary of the series while Skipp wrote Dream Child (probably one of my least favorite of the series)
4. It is Kasch's writing debut while it is Skipp's directorial debut which I find intriguing.
5. This is a bit different than our other segments, but it doesn't bother me any.
6. I like the montage of getting the houses decorated as it's quite amusing.
7. Damn I was not expecting that ending.
8. I thought this was an amusing detour from the typical segments.
9. I would say this is a solid 8/10.
Friday the 31st:
1. This is written/directed by Mike Mendez.
2. I haven't seen any of his films yet, but I have heard of some.
3. Oh what a hottie lol.
4. Oh a Jason-esque figure nice homage.
5. That's a funny and disturbing visual.
6. Yep that is definitely inspired by Jason.
7. Haha that's an amusing little twist.
8. Oh that's just awesome!
9. A fun new idea with karma.
10. That was too much fun.
11. You could tell Mendez enjoys the classics and everyone had fun here.
12. I would give this one a fun 7/10.
The Ransom of Rusty Rex:
1. This is written/directed by Ryan Schifrin.
2. He has only ever done one other movie I've never even hear of.
3. Awesome casting choices in this segment though with Jose Pablo Cantillo and Sam Witwer.
4. Oh yeah nice cameo!
5. Nice another connection!
6. So this is one of those typical stories that gives itself a nice twist of the concept.
7. It's a bit on the comical side of the spectrum like most of the segments here.
8. Nice scream face bro lol.
9. That was quite an amusing segment.
10. These two were quite the duo.
11. I'd have to say this was definitely a high 8/10.
Bad Seed:
1. This is written/directed by Neil Marshall.
2. He has worked on The Descent, Doomsday, and Centurion as well as solely writing Descent Part II.
3. I'm excited to see how this one pans out.
4. Kind of feels like Halloween III meets Attack of the Killer tomatoes.
5. That outfit though!
6. Nobody is safe.
7. Oh nice a few neat cameos so far.
8. Lol the randomness of that!
9. Oh awesome cameo! Yes!
10. Seriously that was the ending?
11. That was a bit disappointing.
12. I think this one will be a low 6/10.
Thoughts after I watched this.
1. It's like a rollercoaster of talent with good segments and not so good segments.
2. The best one in my opinion was Trick.
3. The worst to me was Ding Dong sadly.
4. I loved seeing all the familiar horror icons spread throughout.
5. Anthologies hardly ever go with everything being amazing.
6. I would recommend this one simply for the good segments.
7. Just skip through the bad ones and you should enjoy yourself.
