I watched this one today

It's a pretty fun horror anthology movie with directorial contributions from John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper. Carpenter even plays a Cryptkeeper-esque role.

I've seen it not long ago, it's definitely a very fun compilation of shorts. One of them has Mark Hamill as a deranged baseball player!
Carpenter as the morgue guy is hilarious.

On top of that he shows his bare ass!

Hard to believe this came out just 10 years after the last of the original trilogy, Return of the Jedi.

For those curious here is a little synopsis of each segment:

1: A female gas station attendant is working her first overnight shift. She's alone and a killer is on the prowl.

2: Stacy Keach is balding and very upset about his hair loss. He looks into getting a new hair growth procedure, but it may come with unexpected consequences.

3: Mark Hamill is a minor league baseball player who could finally make it to the majors. Except he gets in a car accident and requires surgery with some horrific results. Plus he has rough sex with his wife which is why you see his bare ass.

All this plus John Carpenter hosting as a morgue attendant! Or is he?

I tried to avoid giving any spoilers. I definitely recommend it. It is currently free on Amazon Prime.

seen it now... fun movie. atmospheric and creepy but not too heavy. 2nd section was a laugh. enjoyed the john carpenter bits too...

edit - I totally thought that Twiggy was Susan George...thought her voice/accent sounded a bit different!

This is one of those movies I keep MEANING to see, but somehow never get around to watching.

I should watch it now.

Maybe later tonight.
