Cheers<br /><br />Also, with the many mentions of EC comics i thought Ill give a head up that Ive just seen that Comixology is having a sale on oldschool horror comics. No EC that I can see so far but plenty of similar titles as well as Dark Shadows collections. FYI.

Wanted to chime in on one of my all time favorite sleeper horror anthologies - "Spirits of the Dead"(1968) The film is three stories directed by three prime directors (Malle, Fellini and Vadim). The first two segments were kind of let-downs due to the names involved. But it doesn't even matter because the last segment starring Terrance Stamp and Directed by Fellini titled "Toby Dammit" remains one of the creepiest, surreal and bizarre segments I have ever seen! it goes into nightmare Lynch mode and never lets up. Honestly that segment could have been released on it's own and it would be considered a masterpiece. Please seek this out if you haven't seen it.

I actually used to like Lover's Vow the least when I was growing up but I am such a fan of that gargoyle design and the 'make sure the girl you're dating isn't a gargoyle' has become a running joke with me and my friends since high school. <br /><br />Remember if a girl's got friends of friends but no friends, she's a gargoyle!Adam Riskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01165600746796326821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-50038717368770260912013-10-18T01:01:33.812-05:002013-10-18T01:01:33.812-05:00I haven't seen Vault of Horror but will this m...I haven't seen Vault of Horror but will this month (it's on my double DVD with TFTC). I like a lot of the segments from Tales From the Crypt. Blind Alleys is great and almost made my list. I also really like the Peter Cushing segment called Poetic Justice. Wish You Were Here has a great ending.

5...Guess I’ll chime in with my top five. Why not? <br /><br />5: The Leslie Nielson/Ted Danson story from the first CREEPSHOW is totally get-inside-your-head icky. The fact that it’s two guys known for comedy somehow makes it ickier. <br /><br />4: I like “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” from TWILIGHT ZONE THE MOVIE as much as anyone, but, man some of the stuff from “The Good Life” messed me up when I saw it as a kid (the girl with no mouth, mostly) and I still get freak-outty thinking about it. <br /><br />3: “The Raft” from CREEPSHOW 2 pretty much makes the whole movie for me – the way it ends, especially. <br /><br />2: Why is it that most (all?) lists of horror anthologies leave off CAT’S EYE? Sure it’s cheesy, but there’s also a lot to like about it. I especially enjoy the middle segment, about the guy skootching around the ledge outside the tall building. What makes it work is that it’s never just a guy skootching, but the filmmakers come up with all kinds of ways to keep it interesting from beginning to end. <br /><br />1: TRILOGY OF TERROR will never be topped. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-20627583395929618532013-10-17T22:41:43.797-05:002013-10-17T22:41:43.797-05:00What do you three think of the 70s Tales From the ...What do you three think of the 70s Tales From the Crypt and Vault of Horror movies as a whole? I think they're both (fairly weak wraparound stories aside) the most consistent anthology movies I've seen, the stories all range from decent to great, I don't feel there are any all-out clunkers in either movie. What say you?JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867827164062216789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-56159916349893484962013-10-17T22:20:09.397-05:002013-10-17T22:20:09.397-05:00Great discussion, guys! I LOVE horror anthologies,...Great discussion, guys! I LOVE horror anthologies, but agree with you guys that virtually none of them work all the way.<br /><br />I have never been that big of fan of the "Lover's Vow" segment of TFTD: The Movie. The ending seemed predictable and didn't work with me. I actually like "Lot 249". I really like Steve Buscemi's creepy performance.<br /><br />I know I'm the only person who liked "The ABCs of Death", and my favorite segments were "A for Apocalypse" and "L for Libido"(whose director, Timo Tjahjanto, co-directed the "Safe Haven" segment of "V/H/S 2). <br /><br />I also liked the "Dumplings" segment directed by Fruit Chan in "Three... Extremes". Disturbing and something that would never fly here.<br /><br />A horror anthology film that might be below you guys' radar that I recommend is "The Strange World of Coffin Joe" directed by Jose Mojica Marins. It's very weird and an acquired taste, but I liked all the segments.Shannon Briggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11736249327322979437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-12980463902872872722013-10-17T22:18:30.590-05:002013-10-17T22:18:30.590-05:00It's too bad the Disney cartoon of Sleepy Holl...It's too bad the Disney cartoon of Sleepy Hollow was attached to Mr. Toad instead of another creepy cartoon 'cause that would have been one hell of an anthology.Cameron Cloutierhttp://www.bodianstfilms.comnoreply@blogger.com
