Mixed bag. Horror anthologies rarely work, and this isn't the case when they do. Majority of the shorts are just dumb. Maybe I just don't like campy horror.

The movie is full of small parts by cool actors but the five tales are lacking. I didn't find any of them to be very scary or interesting. I enjoyed the effects by Tom Savini but honestly that was about it. I don't think this film has a lot in terms of rewatchability. If you want multiple scary tales to watch check out Trick R Treat instead.

Decent anthology movie based on the magazine. Has some truly talented directors working on five different stories. Gets a little campy but is true to the spirit of the magazine. Recommended.

this was one of the first horror movies i saw by myself in the movie theaters...what a good little film..from the fathers day to the roaches...good movie...

I might have liked it when I was younger...

Wonderfully dark with every story bringing something else to the table.

Some horrific, bloody, and original horror stories, but I can't help feeling that the order was all backwards. The first story is by far the scariest, then the second one, and after that, they gradually become tamer and less scary. As a result, your last memory of the picture isn't nearly as frightening as your first impression. Had they simply switched the order of the stories around, it would have been much better. Still, it's entertaining, with some impressive acting performances.

A fun movie. "Something to Tide You Over" was the best of the bunch, and "The Crate" was good but too long. The other stories were mediocre, at best. It's fun to see some actors not generally known for horror- Nielsen, Danson, and Harris, specifically- in a horror flick, and the other horror vets are a lot of fun as well.

2 are very good (Father's Day, Something to Tide You Over), 3 are decent (Jody Verril, The Crate, They're Creeping Up On You), but it's a memorable experience. "WHERE'S MY CAKE!?"

Allright, most of the stories didn't really get my blood pumping, but it's a decent timewaster if you crave some goofy and garish horror-y stuff. Worth a look for a crazy Ed Harris dance, Stephen King as a hillbilly, psycho Leslie Nielsen and a zombie that just wants some cake.

What did I expect? When two most overrated horror "masters" join forces the result has to be as awful as that.

The last part titled "They're Creeping Up On You" was the best.

Creepy, funny fun.

I'm a wuss, so some of the stories were quite effective. They were thrilling and fun, and a few moments genuinly creeped me out. Leslie Nielsen was pretty awesome

I'm not sure how anyone couldn't enjoy this, unless you're an ignorant, boring bastard. This embodies everything that was great about 80s horror, ranging from the camp and hilarious to the dark and unnerving. Every episode is enjoyable in a different way but two & three are the highlights (although the cockroaches are great in five). Stephen King and Leslie Nielsen are fantastic.

Hit-and-miss horror anthology gets off to a shaky start with the awkward FATHER'S DAY and pitifully amateurish performance by King in the second segment. However the remaining segments are genuinely creepy if occasionally overplayed (the Danson/Nielsen sequence has an amazing build-up that is somewhat negated by its overwrought and obvious punchline). Performance wise, Nielsen steals the show in a wonderfully malevolent performance, and Marshall is as effective as always in the final segment.
