Poison, drowning, claw, or knife. So many ways to take a life.

Four interwoven stories that occur on Halloween: an everyday high school principal has a secret life as a serial killer; a college virgin might have just met the one guy for her; a group of teenagers pull a mean prank, and a bitter old recluse receives an uninvited guest.

VIBE

This film feels like cracking open a bag of Halloween candy, but some pieces are razor-bladed. It's a delightfully ghoulish and darkly comedic ride through classic spooky tropes, steeped in autumnal atmosphere and a playful reverence for the holiday's darker side. Expect a fun, eerie, and surprisingly moralistic horror anthology.
