Erin (Elle Newlands) hasn't been all that successful with the male of
the species lately, so the last thing she wants for Halloween is to spend
it at a party with one-night stand Donny (David Banks) she just couldn't
get rid off since - and that's exactly what her friends Ben (Chris
Pentzell) and Julie (Christine Blackburn) coarse her into when they invite
them to their big Halloween party. To keep Donny at a distance, she picks
up Mason (Frank Gangarossa) and asks him to accompany her, not knowing
that he's not just some dude dressed up as a homeless person for the
occasion but an actual homeless person who was just passing by. Of course
Mason says yes, as this means free food, and at first Erin is even charmed
by him, but then she finds out that he might actually be homeless, and
when Donny finds out, all hell breaks loose. But that's only one of the
stories that goes on at the party, because it seems that everybody brought
their problems to the occasion, even the hosts who feel they have lost
touch with their own daughter (Brooklyn Palmer) despite their best
efforts. While Halloween Party actually is about the
creepiest holiday of the year, it's actually a rather sweet film,
basically a romantic comedy in story - but with the whole cast in
enjoyably silly costumes, some intentionally crude humour, writing that
aspires more than to just fulfill the clichées, a directorial effort that
picks up on all this, and a cast uniformly up to the task make this a
rather entertaining little romp!
