I got to see this rarely screened film in a one-time free special screening here in NYC and it's worth the wait. It's in the great tradition of those really spooky Horror anthology films that Amicus Films did so well in the 60's & 70's and reminds one of such classic TV shows and movies like TALES FROM THE CRYPT, CREEPSHOW & TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE. The film has four Halloween themed stories that are interwoven on one Halloween night with a mysterious masked "kid" named Sam linked with the stories. Great performances by Brian Peck and Anna Paquin and a very ghoulish sense of humor together with the scares. It's a real pity that Warner Bros. changed it's mind & gave up on this film just before it was supposed to be released in theaters last Halloween and has not even released this very good and well directed & scripted film either in theaters or on DVD. Halloween and horror fans should seek out this movie if Warner Bros does decide to release it on DVD or theaters. This is certainly one horror film that should be seen with an audience!
