				"No, I don't think 
				you'll expect this, Wilma. No, this is going to be an entirely 
				new experience." – 
				Henry Northrup to his 
				bitchy wife, Wilma 
				Why watch this? It's 
				scary, campy and a whole lot of creepy fun. 
				Plot Summary: This 
				horror anthology film consists of five macabre tales brought to 
				life in the style of an
				
				EC Comics horror comic books of the 1950's. The stories 
				feature vengeful zombies, strange plant mutations, a man who 
				faces a dreadful punishment for his actions, a dangerous 
				creature locked in a crate, and a man obsessed with cleanliness 
				who faces a horrific infestation. These unsettling tales are 
				presented through a series of vignettes tied together by framing 
				segments featuring a young boy and a comic book. Dad's Preview: 
				This spooky film anthology hits some funny notes, but overall - 
				it will scare the heck out of you. An ensemble cast shines in 
				five short film stories: Father's Day, The Lonesome 
				Death of Jordy Verrill, Something to Tide You Over,
				They're Creeping Up on You, and (my favorite) The 
				Crate. Stephen King, the renown horror novelist, wrote the 
				screenplay.
