DOOR PRIZES FOR THIS 40TH ANNIVERSARY SCREENING COURTESY OF BUBONICON 54!

Based on the popular television series, this film is a collection of four frightening tales of the supernatural, each by a different director–Joe Dante, Steven Spielberg, John Landis, and George Miller!  The film opens with Dan Aykroyd and Albert Brooks as two hapless road-trippers who tell scary stories to pass the time. The four segments that follow include some updated re-creations of classic Twilight Zone episodes.

In the first, racist Bill Connor (Vic Morrow) is transformed into a Jew in World War II.  Next, Mr. Bloom (Scatman Crothers) comes to a retirement home to teach the residents that they are only as young as they feel.  In the third, teacher Helen Foley (Kathleen Quinlan) meets Antony (Jeremy Licht), a boy who is not what he seems.  In the final segment, panicky plane passenger John Valentine (John Lithgow) sees gremlins attacking his flight.

“Plays much like a traditional vaudeville card, what with its tantalizing teaser opening followed by three sketches of increasing quality, all building up to a socko headline act.” – Variety 

“An entertaining fright work, slickly made, amusing and scary by turns.” – Phil Edwards, Starburst
