Horror anthology films have existed since the era of silent movies, offering a collection of at least three short horror films, each with a unique premise and a different cast. While some horror movies run out of steam as they stretch their story to 90 minutes, anthology shorts have the benefit of wrapping things up in a taut 20–30 minutes. The concept owes much to short story books.
As well as featuring famous horror names such as Larry Fessenden, Jen and Sylvia Soska, and Vincenzo Natali, the horror anthology also invited amateur filmmakers to submit their films for the letter M with the winner appearing in the film. While some shorts are weaker than others, the overall package makes for a more consistent and enjoyable watch when compared to its predecessor.
Starring Anna Paquin and Brian Cox, the segments feature the likes of werewolves, serial killers, and the murderous ghosts of dead children. The film's mascot, Sam, a little trick-or-treater wearing orange pajamas and a sack over his head, continues to be a popular horror icon.
Since the movie follows one character as he investigates the different tales, Ghost Stories is able to keep a consistent tone throughout its runtime while building to a well-developed finale. While it can be unnerving at times, the screenplay offers some humor to culminate in an enjoyable watch. The actors, particularly Freeman and Andy Nyman, deliver performances so convincing they make the film seem real.
The film's popularity led to its revival as a television series on HBO that ran for seven seasons in the 1990s. It retained the element of the Crypt Keeper, who served as the narrator and introduced each episode's short stories of the macabre. This series proved to be even more popular than the film and features guest appearances from A-listers including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Whoopi Goldberg, and Brad Pitt.
