There's something really enticing about a good anthology horror movie. Modern entries like Trick 'r Treat and V/H/S have become cult favorites among scare buffs, and brought about some of the most terrifying and creative stories in recent memory. (The latter's succubus short still haunts me to this day.) Tales of Halloween, however, is a bit sillier than those films, but it's nevertheless enjoyable with a scattering of chills and thrills.
Here, the film features a whopping ten segments directed by 11 horror filmmakers, including Neil Marshall (The Descent), Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II, III and IV), Lucky McKee (The Woman) and Mike Mendez (Big Ass Spider!).
