About
Not for you if you want a consistently great anthology throughout; this is best for horror fans who enjoy spooky theater wraparounds and messy, gory chills like Tales of Halloween or Fear Street: Part One - 1994.
Pros: fun anthology segments; creepy theater hook; often solid entertainment | Cons: uneven stories; writing/acting varies; some forgettable entries
