The first tale is entitleD "And All Through The House" and stars sexy Joan Collins as a young woman who murders her husband on Christmas Eve and while trying to get rid of the body is suddenly attacked by a mad killer dressed as Santa.
The second tale is "Reflections Of Death" and stars Ian Hendry as a man who survives a car crash only to find everyone terrified of him.
Tale number 3 is "Poetic Justice" and stars Peter Cushing as a kindly old man who is forced into suicide by a rich young man who destroys his reputation and his spirit when he sends him some very cruel Valentine cards.
The fourth is entitled "Wish You Were Here" and it stars Richard Greene as a man who is broke and his wife uses a strange statue that makes wishes come true.
The fifth and final tale is "Blind Alleys" that stars Nigel Patrick as a very cruel man who runs a home for the blind.
All of these tales have a cruel and unique twist at the end which is what made EC Comics so damned entertaining.
This movie is perfect for horror fans. Each is a finely crafted little terror tale and horror doesn't get any better than this.
Ralph Richardson is the Crypt Keeper and the rest of the cast is rounded out by Patrick Magee, Geoffrey Baledon and Robert Hutton. This is part of the Midnight Movie line of discs and comes in two disc set with Vault Of Horror. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
