Malvolia,
Queen of the Screams (Jennifer Nangle) presents us with a quartet of
horror stories (and a few faux trailers thrown in, just for good measure):
- House
of the Mummy: For his Halloweeen scarehouse, pretty much his last
opportunity to make some money before losing everything to his
estranged wife Katelin (Emily Ashby), Wes (James Morris) gets himself
an life-sized electric mummy (Samuel Morris) from a curio shop. Only, the mummy seems
to have a mind of its own ...
- The Locksmith: Patrick (Derric Hyde) and Christine (Rose
Spencer) have just moved into their new home - unaware of course of
the fact that the house comes with its own, locksmith-themed
serialkiller (Taylor Rhoades) ...
- Old Man Gross: A quartet of youngsters (Yasmin Qudah, Justin
P. Martin, Rosaria Eraso, Brucellious Morris jr) break into the local
haunted house for a bit of spooky fun - to ultimately run into the
resident serialkiller (DéRome A. Chretien) ...
- Hack-in-the-Box: Gail (Marissa Sabatucci), Kelly (Jordan
Beltz) and Nora (Sable Griedel) steal a haunted jack-in-the-box, just
for some Halloween amusement - but playing around with the thing
proves to be a trigger for a bloodbath ...
Now I won't for a minute claim 10/31 Part 3 is exactly the
re-invention of the wheel - but it hasn't set out to be, either, instead,
as the title already suggests, it's supposed to be Halloween
entertainment, and thus offers a box of horror candies (plus fake
trailers) from various corners of the genre. And even if the segments vary
in style and approach, they're all done by genre savvy directors, and all
deliver pretty awesome horror entertainment, and every genre fan will find
at least some of the stories presented very enjoyable indeed.
