What a waste of my time!!!

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Freaky Fairy tales just doesn't work as a film. When using a format such as this you need every story to be well written, but sadly things were lacking in that department. The first story is kind of weird and creepy, and has some good parts when the corpse comes alive. But that's about it. The second tale is about a werewolf and is only saved by the unintentionally hilarious lines from the old woman, such as when the man demands she open the door, to which she replies "I will not!" and then declares "I have a meat cleaver and I know how to use it!" I didn't see the third story because I was falling asleep by then and turned the TV off. That's how interesting Feeaky Fairy tales was. No self-respecting horror fan should bother with this, unless you're a die-hard collector.

I saw this back in 1989 and its 1 week long stint at a local multiplex. Me and my friend were desperate to see a horror film. Well--that IS what we got! This is an anthology film about some annoying uncle (horribly overplayed) telling his bratty nephew some fairy tales to put him to sleep. Naturally these are all turned into "horror" stories. None of them were interesting, scary or much of anything. The acting sucked and the special effects were VERY sub-par. The only relatively interesting part was seeing Scott Valentine strip nude in the first segment. All you see is his butt and a VERY brief side view but he was young, handsome and in good shape. Also interesting to have male nudity in a horror film. That aside this was boring and just jawdroppingly stupid. In a way me and my friend sort of enjoyed it. It was so hopeless it was actually kind of fun! Seriously though a must-miss unless you want a textbook example of how NOT to do a horror film.

DEADTIME STORIES was released a few years after the release of George A. Romero's CREEPSHOW. However, Deadtime isn't anywhere close to the caliber of quality that CREEPSHOW is. This movie is comprised of three stories, all of which totally suck. The first story deals with witches, as they perform stupid experiments. The second story is based on a guy that gets his pharmaceutical prescription screwed up with another patent's. This causes him to change into a werewolf. Finally, the third and final story is a black comedy that has the viewer forced to follow the path of three escaped mental patients who shard a country house with a character by the name of Goldi Lox. The bottom line is that all of these stories suck. It's a shame a producer thought that this project would be a success. I wonder what he was smoking?? The movie has a cool box cover, but that is all. AWFUL.

Three fairy tales are given ghoulish twists in what should have been a homerun for the horror genre. However, a slack production and a director who seems confused as to handle the stories sink it. Tale one, a romantic horror fantasy with attractive leads and a lush score is a moderate success compared to the other tales.
