    Storyline

    • Trivia
      An alternate ending (scripted but then rewritten) for "Something to Tide You Over" found two policemen dropping by to investigate Richard's panicky-but-true claims of Harry and Becky invading his beach-house. When the policemen (predictably) laugh at his story - thinking he's drunk - Richard attempts to prove this by showing them camera footage of both undead stalkers. Instead, the television plays his incriminating conversation with Harry before and during the latter's burial-by-the-sea.

      Richard protests that he's been set up, that this is the wrong tape. "Oh, it's the right tape all right, pal!" the police answer. "And speaking of rights...!"

      The film smash-cuts from there to Richard's murder trial; he is convicted and sentenced to death row. Another smash-cut finds Richard in the gas chamber, laughing hysterically even while his life is choked out of him: "I can hold my breath for a long, long time...!"
    • Goofs
      Before he is slapped in the Prologue segment, Billy (Joe Hill) already has red slap marks painted on his face.

      Jordy Verrill: Meteor shit!

    • Crazy credits
      During the end of the credits, we hear "the old creep" laugh
    • Alternate versions
      Version aired on Spanish-speaking channel Telemundo is dubbed, edited for content, runs 1 hour and 30 minutes (with commercials) and only shows stories "Something To Tide You Over" and "The Crate". The end credits for all five segments are intact.
