1996 - 81m.

This sequel to the 1994 original is yet another low-budget indie anthology flick but with a bit more polish than usual. In a wraparound story we hear two tales of horror that a horror novelist is telling a pizza delivery girl.

The first story is about two lovers plotting to murder the females husband with a hungry monster only for it to backfire when not only does a burglary couple appear so does hubby (and he has a secret). Entertaining in a "boy, is this cheesy" kind of way this is okay acted with an amusing hand puppet monster.

Secondly comes the tale of a ex-policeman who's on the trail of a serial killer only to get caught up with a photographer with a secret and a werewolf. While more serious in tone this is a bit sloppy and the weaker of the two with a gay character so obviously being used for humour purposes.

Then it's back to the wraparound story that ends this on a semi-whimper. Overall this isn't that bad really, it's just a bit silly with cheap effects.
