Scare Package

Although I love horror I don't really like anthologies so I had pretty low expectations, but I ended up really enjoying the movie. Most stories were fun and interesting and they managed to get the tone exactly right, which is very difficult. And the gore was lovely :)

Honestly For anthology it's pretty good. It's got a great 80s twist to everything and pokes a lot of fun jokes.

If you're into campy 80s horror and making fun at those movies... I think this will be a great fit for you. Oh It's also got a fun Cabin in the woods type of mix to it at the end if you know what I mean.

If youre a horror nerd, its a must see. if you like people mockin away on the horror genre then have a look, if youre not a horror lover then watch it. its easy, its laughter, and its good. a thumb up from the grumpy old man.

A good range of funny gory stories with a fun and relatable wraparound to tie it all together. It drags a little in the middle but it does deliver in then, while employing and mocking so many horror tropes.

Horror anthology: Check.

Loving homage to horror classics: Check.

B-movie horror-comedy: Check.

Buckets of gore: Check.

-----MILD SPOILER-------

Extra Credit--Joe Bob Briggs cameo: Check.

Extra Extra Credit--You loved "Toxic Avenger:" Check.

If you pass that check-list and are intrigued, you may enjoy "Scare Package." Unfortunately, that formula, even with an iconic horror classic trope/theme to focus on each segment, gets tedious over seven segments.

There is a lot to love, and if you've imbibed a bit, then your enjoyment will likely be greater.

And that Joe Bob Briggs Cameo! (I was given the original Joe Bob's Drive In book as a gift back in 1985). The guy rocks and was my favorite part of the movie.

My quibbles: * Having the first short before the wrap-around story intro was innovative but confusing. * The over-the-top gore get's repetitive. * It's too long.

Drive-in Academy Award for the special effects team who must have been very very busy!
