Review:
Sure this isn't the sort of horror film that is going to scare the pants off of anyone, but it is a really fun Halloweeny anthology. It winds four spookily fun little tales together to make for a fast-paced and original flick. One segment was about a Principal who does not put the "pal" in Principal (okay worst joke ever right?). In fact he may be murdering the children of the neighborhood! Another is about a bunch of teens who pull a prank on an idiot...savant that is. We also have a College virgin who is waiting for the right one, but her friends are kinda pressuring her to do it now! Lastly there is the tale about blowing out a jack-o-lantern before midnight. All were well executed and the spirit of the film is purely vintage which I loved. I'm so happy to see that the anthology is in fact not dead, just twisted Pulp Fiction style. Thanks so much to the very wise Happywax (Doomgoryums Horror Emporium) for this recommendation, great selection!
