Just not in a very well-done way. I get the whole 80's vibe, it's just too slow and boring. The family drama and dynamics was fine and not badly done. I liked the little short stories the kids told. The reason this failed is really because of the chosen boogeyman. The Bloody Man wasn't scary, he was an annoying protagonist at best. Like the silly chucky doll, only without any backstory, motives, funny moments, or interesting lines. Just a bald guy bleeding from his head at random times, that was menacing-ish.

This is a very strange mix of part 80s nostalgia, part singular slow burn narrative, part anthology stories scattered throughout, part horror, part campy. I was so confused, lol, but it wasn't all together unredeemable. The editing was pretty bad though which the film suffered for - too many weird silent gaps in between beats which slowed down the pacing to a distracting level. It was a lot of fun to see Lisa Wilcox and Tuesday Knight both from 'A Nightmare on Elm Street 4' work together again in the same film. The script may have benefited from having 40 minutes taken out of it. Regardless of the criticisms there was something fun and enjoyably stupid about this film.
