Romero and written by the dominant horror writer of all time, plus the most successful gore supplier in motion picture history, Tom Savini, the </B><B>deck would seem sufficiently stacked, still we've seen enough such projects swim to hell on a bloody river of expectations. Not here! A constellation of movie stars light up this first rate anthology. The sets, the colors and the make-up are perfect, and the mix of humor, creepy tales and real horror is a delight. King himself is excellent, and although way over the top, believable in his cartoon portrayal of the unlucky down east farmer and E.G. Marshall is despicable as the heartless magnate who treats people like bugs until they revolt. The entire casts of "The Crate", "Father's Day", and "Tide" make you wish other movies were good too, in particular Viveca Lindfors, Adrienne Barbeau, and a dead serious Leslie Nielson.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Plot Summary</U></B><B>: In "Father's Day", an embittered spinster with an Electra complex, Aunt Bedelia, spends father's Day every year with her family to celebrate the day she murdered her jealous and manipulative father, paralyzed and in her care, for having her older gentleman friend blown away. This year, a special guest is coming and he wants his father's day cake.</B></div> <div> <B>In "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill", Steven King stars as the extremely simple Castle Rock Maine farmer, who sees his dream of selling a meteor to the University department of meteors go up smoke, meteor shit and space weeds when the meteor splits open during his lunk-headed attempt to cool it. "Verrill luck is always in and you spell that kinda luck B-A-D. The itchy meteor shit that was first on his hands spreads all over his body and perhaps the world. The short portrays Jordy's last night of drinking and dreaming.</B></div> <div> <B>"Something to Tide You Over" is the tale of a cuckold millionaire madman Richard, who sets out to punish the other man Harry and his wife Rebecca by burying them up to their necks in sand on his secluded private beach and allowing them to watch each other drown on closed circuit television as the tide rolls in. Leslie Nielson gives the ironic act a chilling twist as he matter of factly goes about his gruesome home-movie production. Too bad for Richard, the wet lovers don't stay put and the sea, contrary to the cliche, sometimes gives up her dead. </B></div> <div> <B>In "The Crate" Mike the Janitor has found an old box from an arctic expedition June 19, 1834 in Amberson Hall. He calls professor Stanley who sees a national geographic article in it for himself. Seeing something shiny in the box, the maintenance man reaches in. The result sends Professor Stanley jibbering away. After being convinced Professor Stanley wasn't the sole producer of this gore, Stanley's student Charlie takes on a scientific interest himself, and begins rummaging around by the crate, turning up sundry gruesome articles. Soon Charlie gets all too good a chance to measure its bite radius. Professor Stanley next goes to his friend Henry, and soon Henry decides he can make use of a person-gobbling-yetti-thing. Henry's wife, the uncouth Wilma, is not quite the apple of her husband's eye. His fantasies generally include more gruesome murders than the last, each time to her refrain, "What would you do without me?" Soon Wilma is directed by the giggling Henry to the stairs. After some hesitation in which "Billie" gets to indulge in one more tirade against Henry's masculinity, Wilma gets to see the funny side to this incident. But how is the disposer to be disposed of? Adrienne Barbeau is hilarious as the thoroughly objectionable Wilma.  </B></div> <div> <B>"They're creeping up on you" is the story of mogul Mr. Upson Pratt who loathes bugs, and it appears his building is having a problem with infestation. He is overjoyed to find that Norman Castenmeyer shot himself when he found there's no way to stop a corporate takeover. Upson receives calls from Castenmeyer's wife who hopes they keep hell hot for Mr. Pratt. Pratt is sorry to hear she got his number from her husband's address book--he'd have liked to fire someone, and Castenmeyer's no longer eligible. We don't like Pratt. Pratt's infestation problem, however, appears to be getting the best of him. Once bugs get a foothold in the building, there's no getting rid of them. Pratt knows what to do with a bug when he sees one. But when there's a blackout, it looks like the roaches have the upper hand.</B></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
