Deadtime Stories
A babysitting uncle tells his charges three horror stories: about a killer witch; Little Red Riding Hood and a werewolf; and Goldi Lox and the three bears.
Why it matters
A neon-soaked ’80s anthology that reimagines fairy tales with a slasher’s grin and a babysitter’s bedside flair.
- Three twisted retellings—killer witch, werewolf Red Riding Hood, and a grizzly Goldilocks—blend folklore with grindhouse gore.
- Rough around the edges but packed with practical effects and a wicked sense of humor that captures ’80s horror’s uneasy middle ground.
- Perfect for fans of campy cult anthologies who appreciate genre mashups before the era of polished prestige horror.
- Not for the purists—its uneven tone and low-budget charm make it a guilty pleasure rather than a masterpiece, but that’s exactly its weird appeal.
