Tonight (Devil’s Night 2023) I came across episode 3 of 10/31! This is a collection of micro-budget horror shorts inspired by Halloween!
The first short film involving a mummy is pretty cheesy and comedic—and it didn’t fail at bringing forth a few chuckles! The other 3 shorts are much darker and veer into the realms of “splatter” horror, with loads of blood and gore galore! Once again I will state that this falls under the category of micro-budget—but with that said all of the effects were practical and were pulled off quite nicely. As a lover of films that steer clear of CGI (especially when of a lower budget) I have no problem saying that this one was an absolute win! The acting was bad, the script was terrible, the blood looked like corn starch—but what else would you want for a Devil’s Night/Halloween viewing? Overall my favorite short in this collection was the first one. It really fell into the category of things that are “up my alley”! -Devin J. Meaney
