🎃Spooktober II - Back From The Dead🎃 Film #20
Three kids are camping out in a tent in the yard and tell each other gross stories that they swear are true.
The Willies is just a feature length version of “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” and “Goosebumps”. This film features a series of scary stories from a group of boys destined to tell “grosser than gross” stories. This film is fine, it’s nothing truly special. It looks cheap… but I’m sure it was made on a micro-budget, so I’m not knocking it too much.
P.S. There’s a few different Twin Peaks actors in this!!

This movie was my biggest fear growing up. Even saying “the willies” or anything related to it such as “the willies are gonna get you” made me breakdown in tears in a matter of seconds.

Man, I hate the dog in the microwave urban legend but the string of short bits as a cold open is a genius idea. It’d be great if another anthology did that.
Aw, James Karen, “Well, dunk my bread in the gravy.” Kid had a white cargo jacket and belted fucking jeans. I mean, all the kids are over-costumed, but come on. Kid’s got the watch and glasses of a 40 year old. Teacher’s brutal about him pissing his jeans. Why does he keep going back to class? Fun creature.
Donkey Lips! “How about some asthma medicine today?” Sick weathervane shot. Hypnotizing fly collection process. Really weird, really fun segment.
Ugh, only two?! Would’ve loved a third. This was like a way cooler Deadtime Stories.
