    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film's third segment, "Bobby", was later remade as the second segment of Trilogy of Terror II (1996), another horror anthology film that was directed by Dan Curtis just as this film was and the first film in the series, Trilogy of Terror (1975), had been 22 years earlier (with that first film originally released two years before this one).
    • Goofs
      Despite the fact that the film's second segment, "No Such Thing as a Vampire", takes place in the late Victorian era, quite modern electric light switches can be seen in the interior of the house. While electric lighting does date back to the 1880s, the switches in use at that time looked nothing like the switches seen in this house; toggle light switches (which are seen in the segment) had not been invented yet.

      [last lines]

      Bobby: You lied, "Mommy!" Bobby didn't drown by accident. You knew that. Bobby drowned himself to get away from you. You see, Bobby didn't want to come back, "Mommy." No... Bobby hates you, "Mommy!" So he sent ME instead!

      Mother: ["Bobby" turns into a monster and she screams]

    another cool Matheson-Curtis 70s flick!
    This is pretty cool!Richard Matheson and Dan Curtis(NIGHT STALKER,SCREAM OF THE WOLF)again collaborate.This was a failed pilot for a proposed tv series,but the movie can be enjoyed for what it is.There are 3 tales here,with "Bobby",the 3rd story,being the most chilling.Worth a look.
