A collection of short horror stories, framed by a story called Halloween Night, in which a bunch of monsters steal a horror video from a grave - but the owner rises from his coffin to retrieve the tape.

  • The first story on this tape is Warped, about a woman (Frances Marshall) who has lost her baby, and now she wants revenge on her cousin (Jennifer Barlow), because it was her father who has raped and impregnated her ...
  • In Snatcher, a handbag thief (Tom Kenny) steals the handbag of an old lady (J.Renee Gilbert), but then the handbag eats him (no joke).
  • In The Closet, a boy (Sam Hall) believes there's a monster in his closet, only his brother (Mark Weatherby) won't believe him - until he's eaten by the monster.
  • In Groovy Ghoulie Garage, a bunch of youngsters (Peter Ortell, Christopher Prestia) go to a Halloween party in a little village after their car has broken down - to find out they have been timewarped back to 1969.
  • Howling Nightmare is a werewolf story, not much more to say about that one.
  • Sucker has a broom salesman (Bill Orten) sell a magical dust sucker to a mean housewife (Melanie Fry), a dust sucker that feeds everything she sucks up right to her body until she becomes a fat monster. Then her hubby (Greg Roach) comes home, and when she wants to suck him away as well, she instead gives him a perfect body - so she uses the sucker on herself ... and sucks herself from the face of the earth.

A rather weak low budget horror anthology that mostly lacks vision to cross genre lines, instead tells often-told tales yet again - but let me get into more detail here: Halloween Night, the framing story, is probably the most pathetic and badly acted piece of horror comedy ever committed to film, it's so bad even that it totally ruins its plot that could have been good at least for a laugh or two if handled with at least a trace of subtlety. Warped is a soap opera, dressed up as horror, and it's about as good (or bad) as I make it sound. Snatcher has an amusing premise, but an unnecessarily long and uninteresting setup in which nothing is established but the fact that this handbag thief steals handbags (which I'm sure most of you must have gathered from his mere job description, right?). The Closet doesn't have much of a story, and even less in the surprise department. Groovy Ghoulie Garage does have a story at least, but it's not in the least creepy but is supposed to be. Howling Nightmare is not bad in its simplicity - but not too good, either. The one crowning achievement of the whole film though is Sucker, a mean little tale full of hindsight, surprise twists and bitter satire that might not be exactly convincing in the special effects department but more than makes up storywise ... and somehow, Sucker feels it should have been in another, better movie.

In all, you might find yourself liking the last one or two stories in this film, but be warned about the rest ...
