      The house that the "vampire sequence" was filmed in was David Boreanaz's house at the time.
    • Crazy credits
      If you are projecting a print of this film, remember to check the take-up reel. You saw what happened to Tony and Patrick. This thing could take over the whole industry.

    A pair of shorts with a few extra legs.
    Macabre Pair of Shorts.

    It is not just two short stories as the title implies. It is much more! This little gem is packed with good ol' fashioned macabre Halloween funnery. When I first saw this I was giddy with the same feeling you got when you first put on your Halloween mask. Don't ask me to explain it. Its true. This film somehow affected the center of my brain that stores Halloween. M.P.S. is as fun for me as Mad Monster Party was for me as a kid. If ANY part of you enjoys Halloween you will love this anthology. I cant tell you how much I loved the Lesbian vampire segment with the umbrellas of Cherbourg touch. Ya cant help but love this film. Pick up a copy and enjoy a little bit of October any time of year.
