That was an excellent one.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

View MoreThe movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
View MoreThis short is so FRIGHTNINGLY FUNNY! The stories are both creepy and hilarious(mostly hilarious)! I had watched this short about 10 times before I learned that Eddie Murphy doesn't voice Donkey! Gingerbread's story about him and a zombie like wife is funny! But in the end, Gingerbread didn't scare anyone and went running off himself! Donkey and Puss tried scaring the other off in the same setting several times! In the end, Donkey wins! They kept trying to scare each other off! Shrek's story is by far the creepiest/funniest! He sent Pinocchio running through a wood door! Overall, I'd give Scared Shrekless a 10/10!
View MoreScared Shrekless was the perfect Halloween short movie for those of us who are faithful Shrek fans. It was well written and contains all of my Shrek favorites. It is a compilation of 3 Halloween stories from each characters point of view. The parts with the 3 Little Pigs and with the Gingerbread Man are especially funny. Great spooky little film. A must see for fall. The colors and animation quality in the film are great as well. It is better on TV in HD. The kids and myself love Scared Shrekless and Monsters vs Aliens Mutant Pumkins, but won't be buying the DVD. We are waiting for them to make them on Bluray. Most movie buffs these days have hi def TV's and need hi def discs.
View MoreSurprisingly hilarious Halloween special with the first episode, a brilliant Bride of Frankenstein parody, particularly outstanding. After the average Christmas special the writers really upped the ante and came up with some gruesomely funny ideas and jokes, using the by now all too well-known Shrek characters remarkably well.The result's an entertaining half-hour roller-coaster with only the middle section lagging.Since the first two installments, Shrek has never been this funny. Aaaargh!!!7 out of 10 haunted castles
View MoreTo be honest I went into this movie a little deflated expecting a cheap, run of the mill Halloween episode designed only to milk the last bit of magic from the Shrek franchise. As with Shrek the Halls I was completely wrong. It was excellent. You can kind of tell that Eddie Murphy isn't there, but it doesn't matter his replacement does a fine job.Scared Shrekless sees our favourite characters head to Lord Farquad's mansion to see who can stay the night while telling scary stories. We get a pretty chilling song from the information booth (Tuloc is a creepy place) that from the very start sets the scene. We then head right into the action hearing Ginger Bread's, Donkey and Puss and Shrek give three parodies of horror movies. The first and the third are definitely creepy; Puss & Donkey's tale is somewhat lacking and much more comic then those two. However that being stated all three stories all three stories present a weird demented dark humour that will have you laughing like you did way back in Shrek 2. The final scene we're Shrek is left alone with Donkey gives us what Shrek is really about as Shrek uses his ogre abilities (with a little help from the wife and kids) to prove who really is the King of Halloween. With Donkey running and screaming away the final Shrek chapter ends with Shrek, Fiona and the kids hurling eggs at the 7 Dwarfs. This little story is a gem that you can put with your copy of Shrek the Halls. It will have you laughing out loud as you hear the horror stories you grew up with. Its something you'll be able to watch and enjoy every Halloween. I really recommend it, it was a great way to finish the Shrek franchise, a bit disappointing that Eddie Murphy wasn't there but a brilliant job overall. Children under 7 won't get scared, you may wish to wait until your kids are about that age before you sit down and watch it with them. Otherwise go for your lives.
