Satan's Storybook is the video that actually inspired me most to start writing reviews for my friends for things they've totally gotta see. This movie adopts the now over-done "anthology"type horror concept, but this being only 2 parts, the first story a classic slasher.... a deranged devil following punker, gone on a killing spree only to in the end meets his maker...
And the second story surrounds a doleful drunker clown who has nothing other than his persona to cling to; that he has ruined, and he is on the brink of being fired from his pitiful career as an entertainer. In denial and disbelief, he meets his maker as well... a clown from the other side, who takes him through a judgement day-like scenerio, taunting him and resulting in a climatic unhappy ending....
The beginning/intermittent/end bits are comprised of their own small story interjection, surrounding Satan and his missing mistress who is off tossling with her "good" sister. The jester (my personal favorite character portrayal in the movie) is who takes Satan's mind off his own woes with these wretched stories that of course bring the devil joy in the midst of his own quarry, to hear of souls he has taken through their demise.

tubi's official synopsis: "a two-part horror anthology, the first part about a serial killer who is executed for his string of murders, the second about a despondent actor who hangs himself and meets a clown on 'the other side'."
