Favorite anthology movies?

[Svengoolie 3]

"Dr.  Terrors house of horrors" was brought up in anotber thread and itcs described as the first in a series of hammer anthology horror movies.

Ok,  anthology movies.... Name some you liked.

Me?  Ok,  gotta open with "heavy metal". What's  not to love about it?

Woody Allen's  everything you wanted to know about sex was good. Man,  John Caradine really would do anything for a check....

The twilight zone movie, yeah. Wasn't worth 3 lives tho....

Btw, night train to terror was awful,  but could be remade decently.

There was a hammer horror anthology with peter cushing as a curio shop owner, at the end he kills a robber who shot him and then talks to the audience,  inviting them to his shop and promising a free novelty with each purchase.  What was that?

I think that's From Beyond The Grave: that wasn't a Hammer film though.

Creepshow wasn't bad. This scared the bejeezus out of me.

Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

Twilight Zone - The Movie wasn't bad, either. The end scene freaked me out when I first saw it!

Stephen King's Cat's Eye was pretty good. For some reason, I thought the breath-stealing troll was super cool when I was a kid.

Interestingly, a search for 'anthology movies' on Google brings up a huge list, most of which were made in the 70s to the early 90s, and I've hardly seen any of them! Most of them seem to be horror anthologies, too.

Was there a trend for anthology horror movies in the 80s? The only ones I've seen are from that time period, and I haven't seen any since.

90s wise I liked Tales of the Dark Side, but that might be down to it having Debbie Harry in it.

Body Bags, from John Carpenter. Hosted by himself, and also starring Mark Hamill in one of the shorts, sporting a creepy mustache.

the HOUSE THAT DRIPPED BLOOD (1971) was also from Amicus, and had Cushing, Lee, and Ingrid Pitt to boot!

This was the one with john pertwee as an actor who player vampires too much?

[RCMerchant]

Yeah!

good lord, i own a TON of them. my all time faves though....monster club, house that dripped blood, from beyond the grave, tales from the crypt, asylum, dr.terror's house of horrors, flesh& fantasy, o'henry's full house, from a whisper to a scream, twice told tales...and one i can't think of, from the 40's. RC will know it, the guy in the wrap around story goes to a cottage in the country where people tell their tales, and he predicts bad ends for them...dammit! can't think of it!
and about 20+ more...i'm kind of a geek for short stories in any format.
