‘Deadtime Stories’ (1986) - Jeffrey Delman.

Thanks to 88 Films, Jeffrey Delman’s terrifyingly tittersome, shriek-stuffed, plasma-packed portmanteau shocker is, happily, no longer a lost cult classic! Exhumed from musty celluloid catacombs, fully restored, and bloodily revivified for the edification of terminally tweaked terror trippers of today! These freakishly scary tales made an all too brief splash back in the gravy daze of gore-garlanded 80s indie horror. ‘Deadtime Stories’ won plaudits from gore-giddy gourmands due to, Ed ‘Blood Rage’ French's eerily effective make-up FX! The visionary mould-master's outlandish menagerie of phantasmagorical, ferociously fang-flashing fiends, eldritch crones and skeletal sin-seeking succubi give vintage fright fans a jolly good slime!

A more gleefully Grimm compendium of tot-traumatizing nightmares might literally be too dreadful to imagine! Once the horror-hungry hedonist ventures into this bizarre, luridly loopy labyrinth all bets are off! Jeff Delman's terrorizing triptych of inventively fear-festooned fairy tales takes a sardonic scythe to musty fables, perversely rearranging the gorily distorted pieces into gelatinously weird visions of garishly tweaked terror! 'Deadtime Stories' reawakens long dormant childhood fears lurking deep within the shock-saturated minds of even the most jaded Splatter Mad Hatter!

'Douse the lights, comb out the lice, and turn up the frights!!! As the monstrously overlooked, gruesomely overcooked 80s creepshow 'Deadtime Stories' is a sinfully shuddersome nighttime bleed, a satisfyingly schlocky, tongue-in-freak, Tromatastic terror treat by gleeful Goryteller, Jeff Delman!' - Weirdlingwolf.
