The Willies
Cute and funny. Great for a 9 year old who loves spooky stories but not one's that are too scary. We enjoyed the watching it very much.

Thanks!!

Good..but Glitchy
I grew up watching this movie when I was younger so I was even more excited to see it transfered to DVD! However, the transfer is extremely poor and glitchy. It is still watchable but very annoying to deal with. I'm not sure if it was just my copy or if they were all transfered like this.

The DVD was transfered by Platinum Disc but would have most likely been transfered much better if it was Anchor Bay. All in all, 3 stars, mainly because it's a great DVD. However, I would have given it a lower rating if it wasn't as good of a movie.

Good Movie
In this movie there are three short, 1-minute long stories and two long, half-hour ones. The story of the woman going into a resteraunt and getting a chicken-fried rat, and the old lady who dries off her poodle in the microwave are both based on commonly-told urban legends. I hadn't heard of the story of the old man dying on an amusement park ride, but that is certainly something I could see happening.

The story of the monster in the school bathroom seems to me a hell of a lot like this one Stephen King short story,"Here There Be Tigers", which can be found in his book SKELETON CREW. In King's story, a little boy asks for permission in class from his mean teacher, Ms. Bird, if he can go to the bathroom so he can pee. The teacher lets him go, but when he gets there, he finds that somehow, someway a tiger has gotten at the far end of the bathroom and is lying in wait. The kid is unable to use the bathroom, and soon another kid from his class is sent to see what happened to him. That other kid is soon eaten. Then our protagonist, desperate to p**s, goes in a sink, and then Ms. Bird comes and sees him. She promises to punish him as soon as she fetches the other little boy...and then heads to where the tiger is.

The last story, about the kid with a bug obsession, I thought was pretty damn boring. It just took too long to really get going. However, I did think it was really cool when the kid has a dream that he turns on T.V. and sees an episode of CHARLES IN CHARGE where the main character is collecting bugs.
