John Carpenter's Tales for a Halloweenight: Volume 5 by John Carpenter, Amanda Deibert, Sandy King
howlinglibraries's review against another edition
1.0
This was so disappointing and tremendous levels of boring, sadly. None of the stories are particularly creepy, which would be fine if they weren't also so unimaginative and predictable. It's one of those collections that I think would've never drawn anyone's attention if it didn't have such a big name tied to it, which is always really unfortunate. I have volume 2 out from the library as well right now so I may try flipping through it to see if it gets any better than this one did, but if I didn't already have it checked out, I absolutely would not bother picking it up just based on how little there was to redeem volume 1.

While this definitely wasn't my favorite, I'm glad I picked it up despite my misgivings with volume 1, as this volume was much, much better! There are more stories and many of them are pretty creative — or, at the least, fun. I wouldn't say I'll be recommending this one very highly, but it was a decent way to pass a little time.

Perhaps the weakest in the series. I just haven’t connected as much with the books since the cat came in as the narrator.

Just didn’t connect with this volume. The format was different, and I wasn’t a fan.

Love the art, but loved the stories even more.

I expected this to be better because of having Carpenter's name attached to it. This was average and the stories felt rushed. It also tried to be too much like Tales from the Crypt with its own mascot who is a grave digger. The story of the cursed ring was the best story. The art was decent at least.
