None of the three playlets breaks barriers, and the writing's perfunctory, but the productions are good, the casting interesting.

You can tell everyone had their hearts in the right place with Body Bags, but the end product just doesn't really deliver the goods the way I was hoping it would.

Rated: 2.5/5

It's easy to see why Body Bags was something of a clone of Tales from the Crypt. But as a standalone film, Body Bags is Carpenter at his funniest, as director, composer and in his rare appearance as a lead actor.

Rated: 6/10

Cinema Crazed

As a compilation, it's only a mediocre horror effort.

Even with the impressive talent assembled in front of and behind the camera, and a healthy budget for a television movie, Body Bags is still little more than an agreeable lark.

Rated: 3/5

Aisle Seat

Occasionally predictable but still has a significant amount of suspense, a healthy dose of black humor, and a number of good performances.

I liked it. "Hair" was kind of lame but the other stories were pretty good. Worth a watch IMO

A really fun movie, Gas Station will please those who know a lot about horror, Hair will bore you, and Eyeball actually isn't half bad.

This horror anthology gets a pass just based on its cast alone. In addition to Carradine, Keach and Hamill, we have Debbie "Blondie" Harry! Sheena Easton! Twiggy! David Naughton! Supermodel Kim Alexis! Not to mention appearances by horror icons Carpenter, Hooper, Wes Craven, Sam Raimi and Roger Corman. Even for non-horror fans like me, this is an event. And thankfully the three segements themselves almost live up to the talent involved. Very reminiscent of the CREEPSHOW movies, this is good old-fashioned horror just the way I like it. Scary, yes, but with a sense of humor, not to mention a wink and a nudge to its predecesors. And I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite. The first has a HEADLESS ROOMMATE AND OTHER TALES OF TERROR vibe to it. The second is a more humorous and creepy than scary tale. And the third is certainly the most gory and disturbing of the bunch. I had a grand old time with this one and look forward to watching it again to see what I missed the first time.

A trilogy of horror stories hosted by John Carpenter. The Stacey Keach story of the man obsessed with his hair stands out the most in my memory for being funny and horrible at the same time. Worth a watch if you are bored.
