This anthology of shorts is a must-see classic to watch at Halloween.
Like in the anthology 'Creepshow 3' (2006), the shorts in this film all take place in the same town and are interconnected.
The little boy(?) with a bag over his head appears throughout the shorts and further weaves the stories together, along with cameo crossovers between characters and shorts.
The film takes place at Halloween! Every short has excellent Halloween imagery, Trick or Treating, dressing up in costumes, and so many Jack-O-Lanterns.
There are few jump scares, and the film is a bit scary, with lots of brutal gore and deaths.
The sets and costumes are great, very eerie atmosphere throughout, great special effects, good acting, and a great plot that you will figure out by the end.
We only wish the film was scarier, this could be appropriate for teens, at your discretion parents.
We recommend watching this one on the evening of Halloween after kids stop knocking on your door.
