Halloween Horror Tales (2018)


Halloween Horror Tales (2018)

A lady dressed in white presents four dark tales in this anthology that, despite its title, does not involve Halloween. The first story involves an escaped lunatic who dresses as a clown; the second tale focuses on an actress being interviewed by a horror personality; the third involves a deadly sunflower, while the last one features a detective investigating some murders. Halloween Horror Tales was released in 2018 and directed by Jeff Kirkendall, a fixture in Mark Polonia's micro-budget movies. While the stories span from creative to outright silly, the movie overall reflects the low-budget style that Mark Polonia movies are known for. The sets are simple, the props and effects cheap, and the actors are little known outside Polonia's movies. Overall, this movie suffers from a cheap look, and the stories suffer as a result; it also seems misleading to have the Halloween title as there is not one reference to Halloween in any of these segments.
