Did the ending of the second story with Terry Kiser and Harry Caesar give anyone else nightmares? It sure did to me! Gruesome as HECK!

Yeah, the ending of that particular episode was absolutely brutal and disturbing.

"We're all part Shatner/And part James Dean/Part Warren Oates/And Steven McQueen"

Ironic that both actors had similar surnames as well! They both were guest stars on HILL STREET BLUES and BARETTA (although in separate episodes). RIP Harry Caesar 1928-1994.

Why what happened in it?

This guy gets chopped up and burned up. He winds up in a hospital doomed to live that way for 70 or more years due to a powerful longevity serum. Ow.

Although he deserved to be punished for his acts of greed and murder, I still felt really sorry for him. 70 years full of unending agony with no relief. Wow.

Come, fly the teeth of the wind. Share my wings.

Yes. That was one atrocious way to torture someone. He was bad, but not THAT bad.

Boycott movies that involve real animal violence! (and their directors too)

Is it just me or is it almost always male characters that suffer the most in these anthologies? I have never seen a female character suffer like this guy did. Granted he was no saint but that was a little excessive I think.

And what happened to Vincent Price's character at the end I saw that coming a mile away. This crappy movie was a waste of his talents.

The only segment any where near good was the one with the kids. They were damned creepy!

Long live the 70s!

This segment (with Terry Kiser) reminded me of that segment in Tales from the Crypt (1972), where the greedy millionaire was punished for the same that twice (being chopped up and living forever and at the same time, burning in hell).

He was bad, but not THAT bad.

Did you miss the part of the movie where he cruelly tried to kill the guy who saved his life?

Anyone here mentions Hotel California dies before the first line clears his lips.

It was very disturbing indeed. His unbearable pain and that teary eye... 😥
