Creepy Tales: Girls Night Out

I saw this film on a DVD compilation that is simply the worst and cheapest in film history. On one side is this production and on the other is the even worse "Die Hard Dracula". Both looked like they were made for about $32.99 and had production values that would make most YouTube posted home videos look like Spielberg productions by comparison! Cheap cardboard backdrops and freeware editing software made this film look just dreadful--and I hardly think the word 'movie' is appropriate for this....thing.

If you remember any of the TV horror hosts from the 60s and 70s, then you can picture the quality of this production. I kept expecting Count Gore De Vol or the Cool Ghoul to come walking on to the cheap sets. And, in fact, a guy who does a burlesque of these hosts appears and introduces each of the mini-horror shorts. Each short share qualities such as cheapness, amateurish writing as well as equally amateurish acting. Overall, the production is a cheap crappy mess...and that's probably the nicest thing I can say about this.

Oh, and you might wonder why I said this is the second worst film I've ever seen. That's because the other side of this disk ("Die Hard Dracula") is the very worst.

Young woman running through forest probably being chased by something comes to a lone cabin isolated in the woods. After banging on the demon clad door knocker it opens to b greeted by Grandpa Munster as the professor in his cardboard crypt - bad puns and all. Taking all the cues from "Tales from the crypt" and none of the screen play - creepytales girls night out really fails to deliver even on camp. The acting ranks lower than late night infomercials, and it had all of the camera work of the Blair Witch Project with none of the intent. Add to that some Jay and Silent Bob wannabe's, The Professor's crypt remade to be a wood shed (the covered up the windows and removed the Spencer's $19.95 discount knocker) and a Rabid Scooby Doo mask and we have 3 stories that absolutely do not deliver on anything ... horror, camp, or gratuitous boob shots. The sad thing is I really have to give the producers credit on 3 really unique story lines that really could have gone somewhere. Sadly - we are waiting for the professor to finish his cocktail for another bad pun.

To steal the first part of a otherwise stupid professor quote "Nothing can make you more blinder than love" except for those in the editing room to think this would actually be worth putting your name on.

Basically... it looks like something straight out of seventies. The story is so lame, the camera, the script... real C class movie.

Most of the stories are simply stupid. Some of them are not half bad like The Snatcher - it was kinda cute actually. But mostly... mostly it was kinda poor. But most of the monsters seem to be straight from the Halloween costume rental. And I do mean the cheap one.

The "party of monsters" is particularly annoying, especially those two trolls or hobbit or something who do speak only together. They are just annoying.

Even the quality of the video looks like from the seventies. Was this intentional? You know... even the taxi driver smokes cigarettes in the car. Isn't it illegal in the US like from about 20 years ago?

Maybe this is just some amateurish retro effort, then it is probably okay. But I just do not believe this was made in 2003.

I have always had a fondness for B movies and this one delivers. I especially like the last story with Matt played by Frank Weldon. I laughed out loud. If you liked "The Hidden" with Kyle MacLachlan, then you will like this.
