Official synopsis:
“Skeletons in the Closet is a late-night, horror anthology television series featuring The Widow and her dead husband, Charlie. Each episode finds them providing hilarious commentary on a variety of B-movie horror films – some of which are terrifying!
Their number one fan, a precocious eleven-year-old named Jamie, never misses an episode. With her parents out for the evening, Jamie sits down in front of the tube to devour the delectable terror, but her favourite Friday night freak show is constantly interrupted by her annoying new babysitter, Tina. If they can survive each other, they may be able to survive the night!”
Reviews:
“Skeletons in the Closet is far from a perfect horror film, but in spite of its downfalls, the stories pass by quickly, the movie maintains a great energy, and it’s just fun. It’s hard to be angry at something that has such good intentions, presents a handful of entertaining tales, and never stops throwing stuff at the audience.” Daniel Kurland, Bloody Disgusting
“Skeletons in the Closet is not entirely a film to write off: it did create some pretty cool characters and have some great moments. Although as a whole I didn’t very much like the film, I’m intrigued enough by The Widow and her dead husband, Charlie, to see if Skeletons in the Closet could win me over with another presentation.” Jason McFiggins, Morbidly Beautiful
” …bursting with fantastic make-up, plenty of scares, an appreciation for 80’s horror, and a perfectly cast film. I especially enjoyed the performances by Elizabeth Stenholt as the preoccupied babysitter, Leigh Rose’s extremely disturbing grandmother, and Ellie Church’s energetic host – The Widow.” Leo Brady, A Movie Guy
