The Willies

1990 · 92 min

A goofy campfire anthology that mixes gross-out gags with creepy urban legends, played for laughs and light scares.

Tagline: You'll Laugh, You'll Cry, You'll Puke, You'll Die!

How it feels: Campy, light, absurd and eerie. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Friendship, betrayal, revenge, coming-of-age
Content: Mild violence, gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
