All Hallows Eve 2 is obviously the sequel to All Hallows Eve. The first installment is best known for introducing Art the clown, who surprisingly is nowhere to be seen in AHE 2. Guess his dance card was full starring in the "Terrifier" franchise. Like the first installment a masked character leaves a VHS tape for a beautiful woman to watch on Halloween. The tape being the vehicle for the eight shorts that along with the wraparound make up this anthology. 1. A boy and his hot babysitter carve a pumpkin together and bake the seeds. After eating the seeds they find this pumkin gets even for being carved up. 2. A survivalist and his wife are visited by trick or treaters who are far more sinister then they appear. 3. A father and son go into the woods to leave an offering to a supernatural entity. 4. A woman finds herself alone in an elevator with the man she believes murdered her roommate. 5. A group of teens enter a carnival where they throw weapons at a man tied to a wheel. 6. A boy tries to convince his mother that a monster lives under his bed. 7. A crazy man goes all out on his Halloween yard display to the point he uses his abducted victims as props. 8. A man deletes his ex from his social media accounts only to have her haunt him from the grave. We then see the girl meet a similar fate as the girl in AHE 1 to wrap up the wrap around. This anthology does not feel as cohesive as the original. It feels more like a collection of shorts with only some being connected to Halloween. That said, There is plenty to like here, Story 7 was my favorite with the psycho and his yard display with the stories 1,2,4,6 and 8 being good as well. Story 3 about the father and son leaving an offering feeling a bit under developed while story 5 was rejected from the ABC'S of Death for a reason. All in all AHE2 is a solid collection worth a watch.

Review by Horror Anthology Junkie.

When they say "No Budget Theatre" they really mean it. It is obvious that this movie was made by people who really enjoyed the process and were mostly broke. This gives the movie an amateurish film school project feel. But as the saying goes "when life gives you lemons make lemonade" The filmmakers, knowing they could not recreate Citizen Kane, decide to double down on how bad it is. They make you feel like they are letting the viewer in on the joke. Easier said then done but they manage to pull it off for the most part. The opening segment is a satire on the rogue cop on a mission of revenge. Skeleton cop is by far the star of the film and worthy of his own feature. He is a literal skeleton wearing a hat and badge who just screams when trying to communicate. He solves his cases basically by spraying a copious amount of bullets into everything that moves leaving piles of dead and mutilated bodies. The second segment is about a young man who is out trying to get supplies in a dystopian future hellscape due to what appears to be a zombie apocalypse. Next we are given a buddy cop segment featuring two cops who appear to be ex special forces which allows them to fight multiple groups of criminals in a homage to 80s badass cop movies. Lastly, we end up in space where a group of space cops must stop an evil space villain from acquiring what he needs to rule space or something.. What they did not expect is the return of, you guessed..Skeleton Cop! Which brings the movie, if you made it this far, on somewhat of a high note. This is not to be mistaken for a serious film but if you are stoned and just looking for an off the wall parody that was obviously made by people who loved making it then you might just enjoy it.

If your looking for a high end well made horror anthology film then this most certainly is not that. However, If you like something with smoking hot female characters in segments that have them in outrageous sexually situations while smothered in retro cheesiness, then you may actually enjoy this. A couple rents a pair of horror flicks from a strange video store owner who warns them of the extreme policies he has for late returns. The two stories are from the films they watch. The first story has a sexy blond streetwalker being picked up by a married businessman who is out for a night of tail. They end up in a prearranged motel room where she does her thing which most assuredly was not what he had in mind. The second tale has a beautiful and innocent brunette pulled over in a traffic stop by a over sexed blond hottie who looks like she thinks she"s in a 70's porno flick "not necessarily a bad thing" She takes her into custody where she is taken to a satanic prison that assumes everybody is guilty of something and spins a wheel to choose her fate. In the end we are back to the couple who are not going to make the return time agreed upon. Of course this has grave consequences. The movie is mostly for horror anthology lovers and or collectors. If you wath this in the right frame of mind, Not expecting Tales from the Crypt or Creepshow, and your not to picky then you might just find enough here to enjoy.
