Bonus CD: Scary Sounds of the Night — A harmless backyard camp out becomes an unforgettable night of chills and thrills for three young boys as they share their favorite scary stories. They each take turns at giving each o... more »ther "The Willies." The stories come to life, each more horrific than the last. The poodle in the microwave, a tasty fried rat, and a haunted house that really can "scare you to death." But the next two stories really happened... All the fifth grade bullies loved to pick on Danny Hollister. No one believed Danny when he discovered a monster in the school bathroom--until the bullies began to disappear, one by one. Mean ol' Gordy Belcher was a creepy fat kid whose only friends were bugs. His problems magnified (literally!), but what can you do when you're attacked by a bug bigger than you are? When it seemed the camp out couldn't get any more terrifying, our boys discovered just how true scary stories can be. Tonight, they'll definitely get "The Willies."« less
"This movie is just plain fun. I saw it when I was about 13 years old, and I still remember all the stories. Its not going to scare you to death, its not going to win any awards, and it doesn't dazle you with special effects. What does it do? It will give you a fun ride while watching it, and you'll probably agree its a memorable flick.So if you want a fun movie that has a "ghost stories in the backyard" type of plot, then I suggest you grab a copy of The Willies."
What a fun movie!

"Truely a fun movie. A great start to a promising career for a lot of people, actors and crew. Deffinetly a laugh, and a great memory stirrer. We've all been curious and truth stretching kids before. It was fun to see that captured in film."

"This is a hidden gem. I saw this movie when i was a kid after reading a promotional comic book in the video store. I watched the movie and fell in love with it. It reminded me of when I used to tell creepy stories to my friends. Granted this movie will not win any awards it will be enjoyable to watche. It's a good movie to watch when you are feeling nostalgic. So just give it a chance."

"Before you had the classic Nickeloden show, Are You Afraid of The Dark, there was The Willies. The movie starts off with a few gross urban legends the woman who finds a rat in her fried chicken bucket and an exploding poodle. The main titles haven't hit yet and this movie looks promising. The first story was pretty good but the second story sucked. It was slow paced, boring, poor acting, and a story that really goes nowhere. The end to the film was a surprise but after seeing the second story, I was bored.
Overall, a decent film but nothing that i'd call a classic. They have two versions of this movie and one includes a scary sounds cd. They are the same price so you might as well get the bonus cd."

"Cute and funny. Great for a 9 year old who loves spooky stories but not one's that are too scary. We enjoyed the watching it very much.
