See more David L @MagicLinckTheThird Oct 2 I’m the type of horror fan who doesn’t wait until October to watch scary movies—I’m watching them all year long. John Carpenter has always been one of my favorite directors (I mean, he gave us Halloween, The Thing, Christine… absolute classics). But tucked away in his filmography is a really fun little gem from 1993: Body Bags. This one started off as a pitch for a Showtime horror anthology series, kind of like Tales from the Crypt. When the network passed, the three episodes that were filmed got stitched together into a full-length movie. Carpenter himself plays the creepy, over-the-top host who introduces each story, and he directs the first two segments while Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre) handles the third. What really makes Body Bags work is the practical effects—some are gross, some are campy, but they’re all a blast. My personal favorite story is The Gas Station, where a young night-shift attendant gets stalked by a maniac. Carpenter fans will definitely notice some fun Halloween references hidden in there, not to mention a few surprise cameos from horror icons. If you love anthologies like Creepshow or Tales from the Darkside, Body Bags is worth a watch. It’s creepy, funny, full of practical gore, and has that perfect early ’90s horror vibe.

(Rhetorical question) See more Melissa L Jul 18 This is a horror anthology by John Carpenter. I thought it was great, and it has a high rating on IMDB, as well. I see professional critics have rated it highly. I don't know what's wrong with the audience reviewers. They've probably seen too many "creator" movies. Anyway, if you like old-school horror, you'll love this. See more Brad S. R Apr 3 A solid anthology horror film. See more 08/23/2024 I liked it. "Hair" was kind of lame but the other stories were pretty good. Worth a watch IMO See more Read all reviews
