VHS Tape Description

Before Creepshow and the Tales from the Crypt TV show became popular, this little-known film was the original adaptation of the famous E.C. horror comic. While visiting an underground catacomb, five tourists (including Joan Collins) venture off into a secret room where a mysterious, robed man shows them the horrible fates that will befall them should they decide to go through with the dastardly deeds they have secretly planned. These include killing a spouse, running away with a mistress, driving a neighbor out of town, using a mysterious idol to fulfill greedy wishes, and abusing the inhabitants of a home for the blind. While not as stylishly spooky as the E.C. adaptations that followed it, this particular compendium has its creepy moments and features a fine cast, including Collins, Peter Cushing, and Patrick Magee, who many may remember as the crippled author in A Clockwork Orange. --Bryan Reesman


Customer Reviews

Ay yay yay!

WTF? Still not on DVD?

I still have my VHS copy but would like to see some Making Of featurettes. Commentaries would be great. Release it with a 5.1 Dolby Surround sound too and on DTS. Thanks. I'm waiting too damn long for this movie to come out. :(


Remaster It & Bring It To DVD

The fact that this great film is not on dvd in the states is a shame. However, this imo is the best horror anthology ever made.The atmosphere and script are well done.A good story always has morals and thisanthology exemplifies this perfectly.There is no dragging pace to this film it just flows.Im not going to spoil this film but if you havent seen it or find it somewhere that still sells tapes get it. Many have tried to make horror anthologies but they just dont compare to this one in terms of originality,terror,or atmosphere.I wish the days were still here when they would play this movie around Christmas or Halloween late at night. Timeless horror movie.Check!

3.nasty young man wants his neighbor, an old widowed man, gone so after many dirty tricks the old man kills himself,one year later the young man gets a suprise.
4.a man goes bankrupt,but find a piece that grants 3 wishes,but at a most heavy cost.
5.a retired soldier takes over a home for blind soldiers. taking money away from the soldiers to feather his own nest,he finds that justice will win out every time.
and the wrap around story which you must watch to see.
another great anthology from amicus studios
