Ten stories will be woven together by their shared theme of Halloween night in an American suburb, where ghouls, imps, aliens, and axe murderers appear for one night only to terrorize unsuspecting residents.

HELL YES! Great list of directors. Hopefully this is pretty lengthy. I don't want ten 7-minute-long segments or something. Make it an even two hours long so each segment is at least ten minutes and I'll be happy. :P I like the sound of this.

Tales of Halloween will showcase the following ten short stories:



“TRICK” Directed by Adam Gierasch

“BAD SEED” Directed by Neil Marshall

“GRIMM GRINNING GHOST” Directed by Axelle Carolyn

“THE WEAK AND THE WICKED” Directed by Paul Solet

“FRIDAY THE 31st” Directed by Mike Mendez

“THE RANSOM OF RUSTY REX” Directed by Ryan Schifrin

“THIS MEANS WAR” Directed by Andrew Kasch and John Skipp

“THE NIGHT BILLY RAISED HELL” Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman

“SWEET TOOTH” Directed by Dave Parker

“DING DONG” Directed by Lucky McKee



The films has an ensemble cast including Pat Healy, Barry Bostwick, Noah Segan, Booboo Stewart, Greg Grunberg, Clare Kramer, Alex Essoe, Lin Shaye, Dana Gould, James Duval, Elissa Dowling, Grace Phipps, Pollyana McIntosh, Marc Senter, Tiffany Shepis, John F. Beach, Trent Haaga, Casey Ruggieri, Kristina Klebe, Cerina Vincent, John Savage, Keir Gilchrist, Nick Principe, Amanda Moyer, Jennifer Wenger, Sam Witwer, Jose Pablo Cantillo, Ben Woolf, Caroline Williams, Robert Rusler, Cameron Easton, Austin Falk, Madison Iseman, Daniel Dimaggio, Natalie Castillo, Ben Stillwell and Hunter Smit.

Cameos also include Joe Dante, John Landis, Adam Green, Adam Pascal, Adrianne Curry, Mick Garris, Lombardo Boyer, Graham Skipper, Stuart Gordon, Greg McLean, Spooky Dan Walker and Adrienne Barbeau.

The ten stories will be woven together by their shared theme of Halloween night in an American suburb, where ghouls, imps, aliens and axe murderers appear for one night only to terrorize unsuspecting residents.

The directors have created a manifesto with rules to create their films based on the values of Halloween night. The antithesis of the Dogme 95 manifesto, the directors will not be frugal with special effects, props and musical score, and have already attracted notable talent in the horror genre, such as composers Frank Ilfman (Big Bad Wolves) and Joseph Bishara (The Conjuring).

Axelle Carolyn created the concept and brought the filmmakers together for this unique production. Tales of Halloween is being produced by Patrick Ewald and Shaked Berenson of Epic Pictures Group along with Mike Mendez and Axelle Carolyn.

Epic Pictures Group closed a stellar year with two films, TURBO KID and ENTERTAINMENT, premiering at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. Other releases include the cult hit BIG ASS SPIDER!, which received a 2014 Saturn Award.

Sounds like this'll be Trick 'r' Treat 2. Either way, I'm all for this one.
Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup?

Some people are like slinkies: not good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one falls down the stairs.

I'm fine waiting three and a half more months, lol. I like that.

*Is sick of Halloween themed movies randomly being released in the late summer, Christmas themed movies being released in October/November, etc*

I haven't seen the details about what theaters it's going to be in, but I guess it probably won't be all that many if it's only going to be around for one weekend.

The trailer makes it look a lot more violent and twisted than Trick 'r Treat.

This looks BEAUTIFUL! (goo) Loved the trailer (and the music in it<3). This seems to have a really dark tone which is really nice.

I wonder if the part with the pumpkin mask (?) is going to be some sort of shout-out to Halloween III? That'd be cool.

I agree with all of your points, Jonathan.

My only worry is that it will be tonally all over the place due to it being directed by so many different people. Part of what put Trick 'r Treat, Creepshow, and Creepshow 2 above so many other anthologies is that they all feature skits made by the same person for each collection.

Still looking hella forward to this, though.

Don't forget that Hallows Eve anthology we got a year or so ago too! That was fantastic!

Still, some multi-director anthologies are really great so I am still really optimistic about this especially since that trailer was great and I haven't heard much to make me too nervous. I mentioned this before but the only way I'll be worried about this is if it's revealed that it's 80 minutes long (or even shorter!)

For an anthology with this, with so many different segments and directors, it's best to go the ABCs Of Death/VHS (first one anyway) route and make it two hours long so each segment has time to build up, breathe and develop, and deliver a good payoff. Like I said, ten 7 minute segments is no bueno.
