Remember those days as kids, sitting around the campfire telling scary stories? Those stories have come true! This group of short horror flicks based on old ghost stories and urban legends have been put into one movie for the ultimate horror fan.
Cheap and cheerful horror anthology nonsense, the central story concerns an hunchback and zombie who are hosting an halloween movie viewing party for various other monters, they get hold of a videotape named Creeptales consiting of various horror shorts.
First tales entitled 'Warped' follows a niece being held hostage by her crazy aunt, because she learns her aunts bizarre secret that she's possibaly got a mutant offspring in her attic. The second story is called 'Snatcher' it's basicly a one song short following a guy who snatches womens purses, he ends up stealing the wrong one when the bag turns out to be a monster. 3rd ones 'The Closet' and follows the tired and tested kid can't sleep because he thinks he's a monster in his closet. The 4th one's named 'Grouvey Goulie Garage' and follows the old 2000 Maniacs formula of a town, here called called Tower Springs thats full of dead residents returning for one day a year. The 5th story 'Something Nightmare' is your old hunters straying into a werewolf story. The final tale and my personal fave is entitled 'Sucker' its about a strange door to door sales man trying to sell a possessed hand held vacume cleaner to an housewife wanting to get rid of her husband.
The wrap around tales very poor and in truth none of the storys are that unique, but they're all fun enough and loaded with amusing characters and clearly made with enthusisam. I really enjoyed it, would make a solid enough mix for anyone seeking something for halloween or for fans of 1980's cheese in general.
