Deadtime Stories (1986)

A babysitting uncle tells his charges three horror stories--about a killer witch, Little Red Riding Hood and a werewolf, and a story about "Goldi Lox" and the three bears.

Deadtime Stories is a 1986 American film directed by Jeffrey Delman. The film is also known as Freaky Fairytales (in the United Kingdom), The Griebels from Deadtime Stories (in the Netherlands), and The Griebels (European DVD English title).

I had never even heard of this movie when I sat down to watch it.  It's an anthology film with 3 kooky stories. The guy telling the stories is a perverted uncle. All he's trying to do is get his nephew to fall asleep so he can watch the Miss Nude competition.  Can you fault the guy?  I never heard stories like these as a child....chicks are getting banged all over in this film.

The first story is "Peter And The Witches" and is about a young man (Scott Valentine) who is a slave to three witches.  They first get Peter to trick a dude into coming there for some hot orgy action and proceed to burn off his hand for a witches brew to help them find their lost sister. They then get him to trick a big breasted blonde back to the cave to bring the sister back to life. However the power of pussy beats the power of witchcraft and he betrays them. Not much to this story and I almost turned the movie off at this point.  

You go away! I got a meat cleaver here, and I know how to use it!
The next story is "Little Red Runninghood" has a high school girl in a red jogging outfit picking up medicine for her sick grandma at the drug store. She's given the wrong prescription, and the man the medicine belongs to has a very special reason for needing it before the full moon. If you guessed that he changes into a werewolf then you're a winner winner chicken dinner. Of course the horny uncle has little red running hood a virgin and losing her cherry in a shed. I got a couple of laughs during this one. 
Hi, my name is Goldi. Actually, it's Golda. I was born during the Six-Day War.
 The third story is "Goldi Lox And The Three Baers. The "Bear"-family is a trio of lunatics escaped from an asylum and Goldilocks herself is a supernaturally gifted serial killer that impales horny young men for fun. The two parties combine forces and go out for some pizza. This story is crazy and has some dark humor in it.  Of course Goldy bangs the super mentally challenged Baer. She finally has an orgasm and says "Sorry" to all the boys she killed that tried to have sex with her.  This is probably the best of the three and certainly the most original. 

Hi Little Brian....
The special effects are courtesy of Ed French and has surprisingly good performances from its no-name cast.  This film is pure 80's cheese but it has a few laughs and could be enjoyable on a boring night. A really boring night.  A must for bad movie fans. 

Uncle Mike: Once upon a time, there was a little girl named "Rachel." Actually, she wasn't all that little. She was a hot-looking high school senior with deep blue eyes, and fine, firm breasts and...
Little Brian: That's not the way Mommy tells it!
Uncle Mike: Shut up, that's the way I tell it.
