Deadtime Stories1986
“You made your bed… now die in it!”
Directed by Jeffrey Delman
The premise
A babysitting uncle tells his charges three horror stories: about a killer witch; Little Red Riding Hood and a werewolf; and Goldi Lox and the three bears.
Horror Vault's take
A reluctant uncle pressed into babysitting duty spins three twisted horror tales for his young charges, each one a warped spin on a classic fairy tale. From a murderous witch to a very literal big bad wolf, the stories gleefully drag childhood bedtime favourites into grindhouse territory. The wraparound framing keeps things breezy and tongue-in-cheek, even as the segments venture into genuine creature-feature nastiness. It's low-budget 80s anthology horror wearing its fairy tale heart on its blood-splattered sleeve.
