1982120 min6.9 / 10

A gleefully grotesque horror-comedy anthology that revels in B-movie absurdity, gore, and campy fun rather than genuine scares.

Five grisly tales from a 1950s-style comic, including a murdered father rising from beyond, a bizarre meteor, a vengeful husband, a mysterious crate's occupant, and a plague of cockroaches.
