I first saw this in the mid 80s on a vhs.
Revisited it recently on a dvd.
The creature effects by Tom Savini is very noteworthy.
Stephen King, George Romero and Tom Savini, these names r sufficient to entice any horror fan. It is one of the best horror anthologies.
The film consists of 5 short stories. My personal favourite is The Crate. The creature is scary. The scene wher the creature attacks the neck is very well done. The creepiest scene is in the segment They r creeping up on u, the cockroaches creeping out from the body.
The segment Something to Tide You Over starring Leslie Nielsen is a bit reminiscent of Nightmare Castle but with humor n a solid torture technique.
