Devilicious delights!
4 May 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Ort of a cross between Morticia & Elvira, the delectably devilicious Malvolia, 'The Queen of Screams' hosts this Monster Marathon Halloween anthology of pernicious horrorful delights. Presiding from her bricked dungeon, throne comprised of (black) wicker, surrounded in black candles, remnants of tortured skeletons, and even a pentagram pointed with the Hebraic 'Leviathan' adorns the wall - a rather impressive overall aesthetic presentation.

The Halloween Blizzard of '91: A heavy blizzard traps a family inside for Halloween, here they are visited by 3 gruesome trick or treaters somewhat reminiscent of Lock, Shock, & Barrel, with a 1920's twist. Features a Ouija board session, a buxom beauty in a Queen of Hearts costume, & a dorky "security guard". {Based on an actual weather story by the same name, of a monster blizzard overwhelming the northeast}.

The Samhain Slasher: The news announces a killer on the loose, escaped from the local insane asylum, making his rounds on Halloween. Like The Nightstalker, finally ingresses into an unsecured home to gain access to a particularly beautiful girl. In the end, an inspired scene of evisceration, victim suspended by entrails, and ignited like a lantern as the house burns down! {bonus Lurch mask}

Trespassers: To spice up Halloween night, a thrill-seeking girl convinces her rather generic, lackluster date to investigate an urban legend way out in the sticks, about a possessed scarecrow and a gypsy curse placed on the land. A couple of amusing unexpected twists in this one.

The Old Hag: A favorite. An amateur production company run by a couple of desperate goofs, employed by the owner of a glorious Victorian mansion to drum up some tourist attention, yet is only a pretext that she may finally be able to get some sleep by feeding the resident vampiric entity. {Reference: "Old Hag Syndrome"; anthropomorphicization of sleep paralysis}.

Killing The Dance: A titillating cowgirl-type brunette out in the boonies works her job at the local roller rink, but also has to babysit her little brother, quite a little monster in his own right. Her cletus boyfriend and some friends, along with a few other rollerskaters are targeted by a killer making his way around the rink for a mass slaughter. Just leave the boy and his sister alone.
