9.7/10. One of the best made anthology horror movies ever. They could've made episodes for Tales From The Crypt TV show from this movie. The 3 best are: Something To Tide You Over, The Crate, and The Lonesome Death Of Jordy Verrill. I found Leslie Nielsen especially chilling as the sociopathic Richard Vickers, " The point is I keep what is mine. No exception to that rule ever." He always looked so lovable in everything he did but here he plays a very effective and chilling villain, best one of the movie. Everyone did a great job. If you wanna a sequel watch Tales From The Darkside as Stephen King wrote for that one too, it feels like the sequel to this masterpiece. I loved it.

Mike the Janitor: Fuck-a-diddle.
Trivia: Originally, the segment "The Crate" (the story about a man-eating monster that lives in a crate) was supposed to be the film's third story, while "Something To Tide You Over" (the story about the drowned lovers who come back from the dead to take revenge) was supposed to come after "The Crate" and just before the last story, "They're Creeping Up On You." George Romero decided the film would flow better if "The Crate" came in fourth instead of in the middle.
Question: I heard that the marble ashtray that Bedelia uses to kill her father Nathan in the "Father's Day" segment appears in all the stories. Does anyone know the specific scenes it shows up in in the other ones?

Answer: Besides being in "Father's Day", it showed up in "The Lonesome Death Of Jordy Verrill" right next to the cash box at the Department of Meteors. In "Something To Tide You Over" on the nightstand next to Richard's bed. In "The Crate", it was on the writing desk when Henry writes the letter to Wilma. In "They're Creeping Up On You", Upson Pratt uses it as a soap dish. And in the epilogue, it appears on Billy's desk when he starts stabbing the voodoo doll.
