Another segment stars Denholm Elliott (Indiana Jones, A Room with a View) as a hack horror writer haunted by visions of the murderous, psychopathic central character of his latest novel.
You’ll also find Peter Cushing (The Horror of Dracula, Star Wars) and Joss Ackland (The Hunt for Red October, Lethal Weapon 2) as a pair of friends fixated with a macabre waxwork museum that appears to contain a model of a woman they both knew.
Horror icon Christopher Lee (The Wicker Man, Lord of the Rings) appears as a widower who appears to mistreat his young daughter in Sweets to the Sweet. But when a well-meaning teacher intervenes, will she realise her mistake in time?
Jon Pertwee (Doctor Who, Worzel Gummidge) plays a temperamental horror film actor in The Cloak. When he buys a cloak for his vampire costume from a mysterious local vendor, his co-star (Ingrid Pitt – The Vampire Lovers, Countess Dracula) soon notices its strange powers.
