Audience Member Screamtime goes from New York City — the wrapround story is about two guys stealing the videos that we're about to watch — to London, which is kind of jarring, as the stories play out. "That's the Way to Do It" is about the personal pain of a Punch and Judy puppeteer whose stage and puppets have been set ablaze as those around him are killed. "Dreamhouse" is so much a retelling of The Shining that the kid is named Danny. It's about seeing dead people in a new house and those dead people are planning on creating even more death. This sequence has a really decent slasher feel. Do You Believe in Fairies?" is about two older women being robbed — by Dollar vocalist David Van Day — yet their house is under the protection of fairies and gnomes. This has two directors: Stanley Long is best known for making a few of the Adventures of… sex comedies, Sex Through the Ages and the STD education movie It Could Happen to You. He's joined by another director you may know better, Michael Armstrong, who wrote Horror House, House of the Long Shadows and Mark of the Devil, which he also directed. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring horror anthology. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Very cheap and and amateurishly made British horror anthology film. "Dead of Night" this is not. None of the three stories really stood out, but they did have a few decent creepy moments and some effetely gory special effects. The interstitial scenes involve a couple of English blokes and on gal who watch video tapes on a top loading VCR was charmingly quant and was probably my favorite part of the film (the VCR, not the interstitial story). Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A British horror omnibus/anthology film, Screamtime has the somewhat intriguing premise of two guys stealing videotapes from a store and then watching them as its set-up. The tapes, of course, may or may not begin to bleed into their lives. Crappy, derivative, and unoriginal tales make this a film that will pass the night for a horror fan who has seen everything else, but none of the stories are very memorable, scary, or stylish. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Something of a lost gem--A triumvirate of terror!! Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a pretty decent little mid 80's horror anthology,that is largely unknown. I'm glad I found it.it was well worth the watch. It is somewhat hacky in parts but the quality is overall really good despite the low budget.
