action before this film was even
released it already carried an enormous
amount of weight based on the reputation
of Rod Serling’s iconic TV series this
is the dimension of imagination it is an
area which we call the twilight zone and
after Vic Morrow and two child actors
were killed in a helicopter crash while
filming it took on a whole new level of

distinct and eerie tales together you’re
moving into a land of both shadow and
substance of things and ideas you just
crossed over into the twilight zone
number eight dead of night mr. clay can

tough guys or gals that can’t stand to
watch older films you can’t be such a
hunk
that’s all right hol then well sit down

have your soul thoroughly wrecked by the
film that popularized the anthology

Martin Scorsese actually named dead of
night as one of the
scariest horror films of all time
second what inviting eunuch if you think
older films are boring this British
anthology will prove you wrong
number seven hails from the dark side
the movie based on stories by Stephen
King and Arthur Conan Doyle this
anthology features blondie singer Debbie
Harry as well as a young Julianne Moore
Steve Buscemi and many others now that’s
some serious scar power is the same

they act out stories about mummified
students evil cats and killer gargoyles
which are all tied together under the
guise of stories a boy is telling to the
witch who’s prepping him for dinner what
he doing just preheating to 350 critics
didn’t exactly praise tales from the
dark side
but it made us cry like a bunch of
little kids and is still destroying
dreams years later so obviously did
something right
number six asylum when it comes to
horror films the 70s had it going on as
most of the decades anthologies were
sick and we mean that in a good way
Asylum was one of those films in with a
horror director extraordinaire like Roy
Ward Baker guiding the action it was one
of the most polished shower productions
of its time of course it helps to have
actors like Peter Cushing Charlotte
Rampling
and Britt Ekland in your corner all of
whom were unforgettable as characters
destined to be terrorized for our
personal entertainment hey whether their
stories involved you do magic suits
crazy ladies or mannequins coming to
life
number-5 VHS – well here’s an anthology
that requires a stiff drink and possibly
a few painkillers and if you’re familiar
with the segment known as safe haven and
you know what we’re talking about as the
sequel to the original 2012 anthology
VHS to be holds the same found-footage
narrative that shows unsuspecting people
being systematically slaughtered
okay maybe that’s a bit harsh but while
it’s the truth it’s deeply disturbing
and unsettling an anthology that pushes
the limits of how to entertain audiences
in six fashion
number four Tales from the Crypt
trace it for you wanna get yourself
killed yet another 70s creep vest from
amicus productions this Freddie Francis
film centers on a group of tourists
unfamiliar with a deadly fact well
there’s no way out of here

the idea with this charming presence and
remarkable storytelling abilities
describing the visitors depths to them
in great detail what do they see what’s
more important is what you will see why
what do you want with us to warn you of
what may happen in the end the five
chilling tales of tales from the crypt
left an indelible mark on all those who
embraced the darkness don’t you realize
he’s been embalmed things are filled
with embalming fluid burning into him if
not it and with clear morals at the end
of the stories
this can’t be anthology based on the EC
comic stories will leave you trembling
by the end who’s next
perhaps you number three
Black Sabbath do you believe in ghosts
entitled III volte della paura in its
native Italian Mario Baba’s triptych of
terror was influential not only in the
realm of film but also to a band that
went on to innovate heavy metal
as Europeans had a little more leeway
when it came to horror aesthetics the
violence and sexuality of black
sabbath’s shocked Americans upon first
viewing who was the speaking who you
always did have a beautiful body so much
so that a young director named Quentin
Tarantino was inspired to apply a
similar concept to a film that would
become Pulp Fiction well you gotta have
an opinion I mean do you think that God
came down from heaven and stopped lust

Karloff it proved to be a sophisticated
and well-written film that’s a great way
to kick off any horror anthology

eyes
one year before Anna Paquin began her
run on HBO’s True Blood she starred in a
horror anthology that failed miserably

one of the most critically acclaimed
horror anthologies of recent years
thanks to the collection of spooky
Halloween tales and one little burlap
sack wearing geardo produced by Bryan
Singer this horror gem has earned itself
a cult following while reminding
audiences to obey the Halloween
tradition unless you want to become
someone’s holiday treat
before we unveil our top pick here are
some honorable mentions your eyes
straight ahead keep walking to the car
number one Creepshow
after decades of legitimately
frightening horror anthologies
filmmakers began to take a more
satirical approached this guy picks
freeway pain of mischievous and no one
was better suited to pull that off with
appropriate levels of reverence than the
Godfather of all zombies George a
Romero’s
for Creepshow he teamed up with writer
Stephen King and a slew of well-known
actors for a five story anthology about
weird kids and plenty of comedic or
others I got like a happy Father’s Day
