A great collection of creepy tales similar to the Stephen King short story books (Night Shift, Skeleton Crew) with a horror comic storyline threading everything together.

I saw this movie on HBO at way too young of an age and I'll probably never forget the scenes of Ted Danson buried up to his neck in sand as the tide rolls in, or the cockroaches pouring out of a man's mouth. Burned into my brain forever. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Any film with Ted Danson and Leslie Nielson in it is alright with me!. Its very much cooky/quirky, with a comic book feel and indeed comic book style illustrations shown in the interlude between the different stories portrayed. It is of course quite spooky, with spooky castle type eery music played in the background for most of the film. You could say its over the top - its very much a film of the 80s in any case. Its the sort of film that does leave you feeling a little edgy, like something sudden may happen at any moment, just about, although I can't say I found it particularly scary. Its too comic for that, with the supposed blood being a very, very bright red (think particularly red tomato ketchup). I'd say its worth a watch, yes. Expand

A series of horror-comedy films featuring mini-stories, the first two of which are Stephen King, translated in 1982, 1987, and 2007.

Villains and oppressors win in most of the stories. Those who were killed are resurrected and take revenge.

Villains and oppressors win in most of the stories. Those who were killed are resurrected and take revenge. Stories are fun. As a concept, an illustrated magazine atmosphere is created for the audience. Nudity prevails in some stories. The paths of the characters in the stories in the last chapter somehow cross.
