Sorry for the silly joke, I had to do it. If the Krampus season also called Christmas is over, now that we are one day away from St Valentine’s I guess we can say it’s the Vampus season? Or should it be Valentinus? Bah, forget it, it went way worse than I expected. Let’s focus on what matters.
Vampus Horror Tales (2020) is a Spanish horror anthology film in which segments are set on Halloween night.

He loves to read horror comics and introduces us to four twisted tales of love, murder, and assorted horrific acts.
Each segment is directed by a different first-time filmmaker and it features the works of Isaac Berrocal, Erika Elizalde, Manuel Martínez Velasco, Víctor Matellano, and Piter Moreira.
