My oh My was this movie a treat. My friend picked it off the Netflix cue as it seemed to be the lesser of most evils. He said he was told it was good…who am I to argue?

The description of the movie I believe says that on Halloween night evil is unleashed on a small town. Fair Enough.

The movie begins with a swift murder at the hands of a creepy little scarecrow child that seems to pop up a lot during the movie, I’m assuming he represents death.

There are so many intertwining plots in this movie I don’t have the time or energy to give a detailed description of each. There’s a terrible town secret, a coven of lesbian-esque werewolves, and a murderous principal living with his small son. The only plot line in this movie that has any resoltion is the town secret. Everything else leaves you with a big fat resounding WHY?

This movie is a gem in the sense that it’s so terrible it makes it awesome. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. Best line of the movie:

Man to crotchety old man next door: “Happy Halloween”

Old Man’s Response: “Screw You!”

The other gem of the movie is a fight scene between the little scarecrow death guy and the crotchety old man. Turns out the scarecrow is a walking jack-o-lantern which you discover when he gets shot in the face with a shotgun and explodes pumpkin guts all over the place. It’s epic!

The ghouls in the movie are visually pretty cool. I really enjoyed that aspect of the movie. The werewolves are underwhelming, but also super unnecessary to the plot line and I think were just an excuse for nudity.

This movie had potential to be pretty great if they would have cut out all the extra crud that never got resolved anyway and focused on just one plot line it would have been much better. However, if you go into this movie knowing you’re going to watch something pretty awful it’s really entertaining. I have a feeling it will make it into my yearly Halloween movie regimen.
