Tobe Hooper, director of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), plays "Morgue Worker # 2" and directs the last segment, "The Eye." Wes Craven, director of A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), plays "Pasty-Faced Man" at the gas station. Sam Raimi, director of "The Evil Dead (1981), plays "Dead Bill" in "The Gas Station. Roger Corman plays Dr. Bregman in the segment "Eye."
    • Goofs
      Warning: Spoilers.

      In the third part "Eye", Brent naturally has blue eyes. After the physical operation where he should have a brown eye on the right and a blue eye on the left. The eye colour swaps sides at least once, possibly to depict a descent into madness. In some scenes both eyes are brown, or one blue and one black. In the crib scene just before his face is burnt with a cigarette, his eyes are both blue.
    • Quotes

      The Coroner: [looking at bodies] Natural causes... Natural causes... Natural causes... I hate natural causes! Give me a big stab wound to poke at and then I'm happy.

    • Alternate versions
      The DVD version is a severely cut version of the original Pay TV release, eliminating a lot of the more violent and gory images.

    Good, But For The Wrong Reasons
    Three short stories in the horror genre: The first about a serial killer. The second about a hair transplant going wrong. The third about a base ball player who receives a questionable eye transplant.

    The sad truth is that giving this film as high a rating as I did really comes down to one thing: the endless supply of guest stars from the horror genre (and beyond). Who can dislike a film with Wes Craven, Sam Raimi, John Carpenter, Tobe Hooper and more? That is incredible.

    As for the film itself, it is about average. The acting and directing are fine, and the gore really starts to add up in the third segment. But the script was really nothing special, and I am not shocked that Showtime declined to turn this into a regular series (any given episode of "Masters of Horror" is better).

    The disc from Scream Factory makes this average film a little something more, with plenty of insight from Stacy Keach, John Carpenter and producer Sandy King. Horror fans may think the movie is average, but you are bound to learn a few things from the commentary.
