    Storyline

    Edit
    Gray Matter: Richie's drinking habit was getting out of control, but no one expected his thirst to become insatiable. His appetite grew from beer, to animals, to people; and with a hurricane closing in, Richie begins to devour everything in sight. The House of the Head: Evie's dolls are some of her favorite companions, but when a severed toy head appears in their dollhouse and starts murdering, Evie can't protect them. Are her favorite dolls next? Or worse, if it escapes the confines of the dollhouse - is she next? —CB

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      In the segment 'House of the Head', the carpet in the dining area of Evie's dollhouse is the same as the carpet from the Overlook Hotel in The Shining (1980).
    • Goofs
      In the opening narration to Gray Matter, the world population is stated as 3.5 billion, which dates the story to the late 1960s. At that time storms were always given female names, so the hurricane would not have been named Charlie.
    • Quotes

      Dixie (segment Gray Matter: Timmy... when I was your tutor what did I always tell you about math? For every problem there is a solution. Well, life's just like that.

    7/10
    Very uneven: first part is comically bad, the second part is interesting.
    The first part is so unbelievably bad that I had to lift my eye brows and growl a few times. But the body horror in thr final review is almost worth it.

    The 2nd part is a fun little flick with very minimal blood. I can myself using this to scare some tweens when the kids are at the right age.

    Over all, I'd give the show another shot.
