daysleeper-666-878240 Gore and comedy are bundled together in this lame horror movie that tells of 10 different tales, most of them groaners except for maybe 2. Wasn't worth the 1:37:00 to watch the 15 minutes of what I did like, I was expected to be scared or at least entertained. I was neither.

Claudio Carvalho 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

MattyGibbs This is an anthology of 10 Halloween inspired short stories.As in most anthologies the standard of the stories differs wildly but unfortunately this one is more hit than miss. It starts strongly and the first story for me was by far the most enjoyable. After that it rapidly goes downhill after that with just brief moments of both humour and horror. Most of the stories lack a twist or seemingly any point at all which is very disappointing. To it's credit it doesn't take itself seriously and for the most part at least it's moderately entertaining but this is far from one of the better anthologies out there. If you're looking for some genuine scares on Halloween I'd try a different avenue to this one.

kosmasp As the titles suggests we get a couple of stories that are all connected in a way (Halloween and all). There are also a lot of people who are famous (or infamous) in the horror genre that are involved with this. In front of the camera and behind it too. While this was playing at a few Fesstvals, it seems "real" Horror fans didn't quite like it as much as it was intended to be liked.They are the core and main audience, but the general feeling was that this is too "light" (not enough gore, not dark enough and more things that might make this seem a bit too mainstream). If you don't mind that or maybe don't see it that way at all, you will have a lot of fun though. The effects are good and the acting is more than decent too. Recognizing the people on the screen as they walk by ... You'll either like that or don't care. It's a fun affair though and should not be seen as anything else ...
