Compilations of horror stories are always appealing, multiple short pieces of diverse monsters - perfect. Most compilations, however are very disappointing, boring, cliched, poorly done. This movie is a very pleasant exception, probably the best compilation of stories. And it gets better with every story (except for the framing story which is pretty lame in comparison). Of course there are clichés, but the good ones, like the haunted house, the girls getting lost in a bad part of town and the telephone killer. (And there is very little dumb, unlogical behavior that helps lazy writers to keep the story going but is nothing but annoying for the viewers). I enjoyed this movie a lot, wished there were more like this.
