Deadtime Stories is a horror anthology film released in 1986. The movie features a babysitting uncle named Uncle Mike who tells three different horror stories to his two young charges, Little Brian and Angie.
The first story is about a witch named The Old Witch who seeks vengeance on the town that once burned her at the stake. She is portrayed as an old, wrinkled woman with a sharp nose, pointy hat, and a broomstick. The Old Witch attacks the townspeople using her magic and turns them into wooden dummies. However, the townspeople eventually turn the tables on her, capturing her and burning her alive in the fireplace.
The second story is a twisted take on the classic fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood. The story is about a young girl named Peggy who is sent on a mission by her sickly grandmother to take some medicine to her. On the way, she meets a handsome stranger who offers to help her but is secretly a werewolf. The werewolf kills Peggy but is eventually killed by her father, who comes to rescue her.
The third and final story is a modernized version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. In this version, the intruder is a teenage girl named Goldi Lox who breaks into the home of a wealthy couple and their daughter. While exploring the house, she discovers that the family is actually a group of psychopathic killers who have been preying on unsuspecting victims. Goldi Lox eventually defeats the murderers, saves the daughter, and escapes.
Throughout the movie, Uncle Mike periodically interrupts each story with his own comments and interactions with the children. In the end, it is revealed that Uncle Mike was not just telling these stories for entertainment but rather to distract the children from the fact that he was under demonic possession. The film ends on a cliffhanger as Uncle Mike threatens to take the children with him to hell.
