It's a terrifyingly sequential mold that tells about five terrifying tales. All five stories are based on popular comic books in the 1950s to talk about torture, murder, destruction, blood and extreme violence in the last century. These tales include a continuous series of horror in one feature, where the film evokes fears of traditional bogeymen and the agony that was inflicted on everyone at the time.

This horror omnibus tickles the funny bone while stripping it of its flesh, so that hysterical laughter comes as fast as the frights and as thick as the blood.

This five-part film, based on the format of 50s horror comics, marks one of the few times George Romero has directed someone else's script (it's by Stephen King), and the results are only mildly interesting by the standards of his Dead trilogy.
