The horror anthology has made a huge comeback in recent years with films like Trick ‘R Treat, V/H/S and The ABC’s of Death proving that the short horror format still has plenty of life left with some unforgettable stories still to tell.

Trick r Treat is amazing!
This!! I felt like a lone wolf appreciating the V/H/S films…even the third one had its moments. This is definitely right up my alley!
I really dig parts of the VHS films, especially Safe Have (awesome!). This looks like it’s going to be a blast, too!
Looks like Trick r Treat 2 will have some competition. The Trailer looks good 🙂
Speaking of Trick r Treat 2, I can’t wait to see his next film Krampus, that’s going to be great!
I’ll always give an anthology horror film a chance 😀
Yeah, they’ve been pretty solid as of late and this one looks no different. Pretty excited!
Okay, I’m the odd one out, lol. It’s not that this looks bad per se, just god, I’m so tired of the anthology format. I really liked it at first – Trick’r’Treat is one of my favorite things ever and I watch it every Halloween – but just enough already. It’s like every other trend that comes along, it just gets beaten to death, you know? And, end rant! 😉 On a side note – did I see JGL at the beginning? I swear I did!
No, that’s understandable and exactly how I feel about the found-footage genre. That shit is just annoyingly terrible, yet they continue to make them because of the easy profit despite the fact that it’s lazy, untalented filmmaking. And as far as I know that’s not JGL, but how cool would that be!?
Mega cool. He is so so fab. *dreamy sighs*
