Pretty decent anthology.
Obviously not every story hits but none are bad and the decision to end it with the best of the bunch is brilliant. I personally, love possessed or evil dolls. Magic is fantastic and the chucky character and films are some of my favorite films ever.Not much to say, its a good time.
