Another vote for Amateur Night as the best in the movie. It was great. I just picked this movie at random and had no clue what was going to happen, Amateur Night set the tone by creeping me right the *beep* out.
Actually looking at OP's post I agree with him on every one. 10/31/98 is next, followed by Second Honeymoon, The Sick Thing..., Tuesday the 17th, and the framing device which I thought was awful.
Anyway I was really surprised by the overall quality of the film. Great job by the directors.
Aaah, buckle this.

sorry that I'm not familiar with the titles of each story...anyway, here's what I think..
the first, "Amateur Night", was pretty well done. it creeped me out for sure.
the second I believe was the husband/wife or boyfriend/girlfriend going on vacation, and it was realistic so I liked it. I think the main reason I liked it is because the night scenes reminded me of Sinister, especially when the guy gets killed. and I didn't see the twist coming!
the one where the friends go to the woods I did not like. seemed too campy and I just didn't care for it at all.
Emily's story was great until the end. it was really creepy though!
10/31/98 was good. the empty house freaked me out...it went a little bit over the top at the end, but I still enjoyed it. did anyone else see the flash of the woman standing on the stairs before the guys actually went up there? I love seeing subtle glimpses of the scary imagery, gets me everytime lol.
and the main story...it was ok. I knew that old man would get up eventually. lol
i LOVE 10/31/98. its absolutely my favorite one, with the only other decently intense short being, like everyone else says, 'amateur night'. the special effects are totally convincing in my book, and the plot itself creeps me out. (im a sucker for demonology/ghosts/####ing hands coming out of walls, haha.) pisses me off how the guys were slaughtered just like EVERYONE ELSE in this movie. to me they were the only protagonists of the whole thing that did anything heroic or worthwhile. nearly everyone else in this movie were total *beep*hole wastes of space. amateur night had a killer climax, with the camera's flight up, up, and up in the air. that was pretty cool, though that camera sure did survive a big tumble to still remain on.

The Sick Thing is by far the worst. Stuffed with generic senseless dullery. Second Honeymoon's sole redeeming feature was Joe Swanberg getting stabbed in the neck. 10/31/98 had some things going for it, but the ending was a let down. A hokey "we can't get out of our car" train sequence? Boo.
On one hand I understand why a lot of people don't care for Tape 56, but I think it does its job pretty well. It sets up the films within and features the deaths of some loathsome scumbags alongside a few funny moments. That's kind of the normal role of a framing device in a horror anthology. Have someone watch a bunch of movies...and then die. I have seen so many framing narratives that make Tape 56 look like gold.
Plenty has been said about Amateur Night. It definitely leaves an impression. It was sort of painful to deal with the laughing guy, who was almost too good at playing the annoying wasted friend. Lily was great, and so was the ending. Tuesday the 17th gets a bit of hate on here, but as a slasher enthusiast I found it highly entertaining. The Glitch was a welcome return to that 70s/80s style implacable stalking killer archetype (but also an update, like a techno Shape), especially nice in this era where our horror villain icons are weak *beep* like the old doofus from SAW.
