Tales from Halloween is easily one of the best films to come out of 2015’s FrightFest and is certainly up there with Halloween and Trick ‘r Treat when it comes to Samhain screenings.
You’ve never seen an anthology horror with a list of directors like this. Axelle Carolyn, writer-director of the spooky Soulmate, heads up proceedings, joined by her husband, Neil Marshall (The Descent) and nine of their horror-director friends including Lucky McKee (The Woman, May) and Darren Lynn Bousman (Repo! The Genetic Opera, Saw II, III & IV). Together, eleven directors create ten terrifying segments to keep the screams coming.
And we haven’t even got to the cast yet. As well as a host of newcomers and rising stars, Tales from Halloween gives horror fans a real treat with appearances by some top horror actors and filmmakers. Adrienne Barbeau pays homage to her classic role in The Fog by voicing a DJ, while directors John Landis, Joe Dante and Adam Green also pop up in various roles. It’s a veritable who’s who of horror and fans will love spotting the familiar faces.
But Tales from Halloween isn’t just about cameo-spotting and big names. It’s also been getting loads of buzz for the sheer brilliance of its ten interlinking segments, which centre around an American suburb terrorised by a variety of monsters, ghouls murderers and even the Devil himself on Halloween night. Whether it’s a serial killer meeting his match in an alien from outer space, a young boy being taught a lesson in etiquette by Satan, or a man-eating pumpkin laying siege to the town, there’s a tale for everyone, no matter if you prefer horror-comedy or straight-up scares.
It’s sure to become part of any horror fan’s Halloween ritual.
