VAULT OF HORROR 1973 (FOX)

Another fine anthology film based of the comics of the same name. This version of the disc is the PG rated edit which contains a couple of scenes that have been still framed instead of as they were meant to be seen, but don't let that detract you from sheer fun.
Tale number one is the most famous and is is entitled "Midnight Mess" and stars Daniel Massey as a man who goes to a very small town to find his sister played by his real life sister Anna Massey. He finds more than he really bargained for.
Tale number 2 is "The Neat Job" which stars Terry Thomas as a neat freak who marries a woman played by Glynis Johns whom he drives to the point of insanity.
Tale 3 is This Trick'll Kill Ya" which stars Curt Jurgens and Dawn Addams as a couple who kill to obtain a magic rope trick and get the tables turned on them.
Tale 4 is "Bargain In Death" and features Michael Craig and Edward Judd as two men involved in an insurance swindle that has very bad endings for both of them.
Tale number five is "Drwan and Quartered" which stars Tom Baker as an artist who plots revenge against the art dealers who stole millions from him. Little does he know that voodoo and art do not mix, especially with paint thinner.
Each of these tales is very well done and should provide enough chills and laughs to keep even the most jaded horror fan enthralled. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
