The Worst Film Ever

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

please do not watch this,it wasn't worth my time and its certainly not worth yours. i had to make an IMDb account just so that i might spare someone the "horror" of watching this train wreck. this was literally the absolute worst horror anthology i have ever watched, bad acting,bad writing,bad everything.the only thing scary about this anthology is the fact that it ever saw the light of day in the first place.

Consisting of ten Halloween themed stories, this horror anthology movie has often been compared to Michael Dougherty's 'Trick 'r Treat' with all incidents occurring in various areas of the same town. Everything is, however, nowhere near as interconnected here, lacking the acute blending and constantly overlapping characters that made 'Trick 'r Treat' so dynamic. There is nary a boring moment to be had though as each segment in 'Tales of Halloween' is appropriately brief. Some episodes are inevitably more effective than others though. Lucky McKee's "Ding Dong" is a clear highlight with a bizarre comedic streak and several WTF moments involving an unhappy childless couple. The Jason Voorhees spoof "Friday the 31st" is pretty innovative too with some 80s style stop animation in the mix. The vast majority of segments have predictable punchlines though, with "Grim Grinning Ghost" and "Sweet Tooth" falling particularly flat. Overall, however, 'Tales of Halloween' is no less uneven than most horror anthologies out there and while some chapters sag, the majority work with some really fun cameos from the likes of Joe Dante and John Landis.

I ended up enjoying enjoying 'Tales of Halloween' more than I expected to - sort of at least. I had low expectations going in, then I didn't enjoy the first segment and was really dreading sitting through nine more of these things. Then things picked up. Then they went down hill again, and then back up. It really was a roller coaster ride in terms of quality. Breaking each of the ten segments down into simply good, average or bad would go a little something like this:Sweet Tooth: badThe Night Billy Raised Hell: goodTrick: averageThe Weak and the Wicked: goodDing Dong: badGrim Grinning Ghost: averageThis Means War: badFriday the 31st: average (terrible story, but had the most effective scare of the whole film)The Ransom of Rusty Rex: badBad Seed: badSo half of them were bad, three were average and two were good. If you'd told me that would be the breakdown going in I probably would've taken it. Not happily, but it's certainly better than all ten of them being shocking. My advice would be to give it a miss though. Even in the terrible world of modern horror there are better things out there than this.

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
