Watching a horror anthology is like going on 4 or 5 blind dates in succession on the same night, with about the same success rate. Rarely are horror anthologies uniformly good (1972’s Tales from the Crypt, Asylum, would be exceptions) and all too often they’re uniformly bad (Tales from the Darkside: The Movie, Campfire Stories, Grim Prairie Tales, Torture Garden, the list is virtually endless).
