Viewing Notes

A terrific Horror Movie Night selection and even better, it\\‘s an anthology film! Horror makes for great anthology movies and some of my favorites are such (Creepshow, Cat\\‘s Eye, Trick R Treat…).

In retrospect I\\‘m almost positive I\\‘ve seen this movie way back in the day because as scenes unfolded they all seemed very familiar.

Anyways, filled with practical effects and some good storytelling I found this to be a lot of fun to watch, especially the last story. Plus hey, HP Lovecraft!
