A film that's really fun....house

I stumbled onto this by accident. What a happy accident. The story is fairly average, group of friends go to a Halloween funhouse attraction based on local serial killers - the very same killers who have just escaped from a local asylum. Plenty of stalk and slash happens as the killers now there way through the unexpecting guests. What's not average is the gore which is unbelievably good for a low budget horror. Also good is the comedy - this film is genuinely quite funny with the sheriff's deputy and 'machete' being highlights. It's not going to win any awards or blow anyone away but for a 90 min black comedy gorefest you will not be disappointed!!

This turned out to be an ideal read for the Halloween season. While many of the short stories here have a pretty "literary" feel, and some don't necessarily qualify as horror, they each have a haunting quality about them. The characters are always engaging, and I found myself caring for most of them, which is quite a feat given how few pages some were given in which to develop. And don't mistake my earlier comments to mean there is nothing scary in this book. There are quite a few tales here that left me creeped out enough that I will likely remember them for some time to come. This collection isn't perfect, but it really shows the promise of just how great a storyteller Mr. Hill would ultimately evolve into.
