I've seen worst! Thumbs up to Scary Tales

Just watched Scary Tales last night, and I have to say after hearing a lot of negative feedback about this movie that I was surprised and entertained through most of it. The acting at most points was very laughable but that's what made it great, and I really liked the story twists. Each story ends on a bit of a different note, but I'd have to say my favorite Tale was the final story with Poe. Looking forward to seeing the sequel, I have heard some good reviews of that one so I'm sure I will enjoy it!

Scary Tales reminded me of the 1970's Tales from the Crypt movie, and of course Creepshow.
