The movie stitches together three UK horror shorts with a flimsy US wraparound story about two NYC nogoodniks who shoplift three cursed VHS tapes. One features a killer Punch and Judy yarn. Another spotlights a creepy haunted house story with a shocking and inventive twist ending. And the third and final entry has a thief encountering gnomes, fairies, and a vengeful ghost. Is this portmanteau any good? Are the effects top notch? Are the chills and thrills outstanding and memorable? Well, \u2026 you\u2019ll have to stay tuned to find out. Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine\u2019s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode\u2019s film, chosen by Jeff, is A Chinese Ghost Story (1983). It is not recommended to fall in love with a ghost, nor should you willingly fight a tree demon, but that\u2019s exactly what this film\u2019s protagonist does with the help of a monk. This one is more fun than barrels of ghosts and demons! Please let them know how they\u2019re doing!
