Favourite story?

My favourite was definitely the second one, about the glass-eating man. Very original, intense ending too. I felt bad for him and his girlfriend. That voodoo bitch!
The first was the creepiest though, given the whole necrophilia thing. The baby at the end was gross to say the least.
The fourth story wasn't bad, although nothing really new as in the evil children genre.
Overall a good, solid horror anthology from the late 80's. 7/10

I loved the first and second stories most of all.

Favorite is the second one (which was actually the one with Terry Kiser) with the first one coming in a close second. The carnival story is the third story.

I enjoyed all the stories. The freak show glass eater one was my least favorite. It wasn't bad at all, just not as good as the other three. I have to say the 2nd and 4th stories are the absolute best. They're part of what makes this film worth watching. I think it's a good, underrated anthology film and I give it an 8/10.

It's kind of hard to rate them individually. They were all extremely dark and gritty. But let's see, I reckon maybe the the second with the old man. It reminds me of the Wooly Swamp song about men who try to rob an old man of his money and pays the ultimate price. The second segment is like a mini film version of that song. Extremely creepy.
