Viewing Notes
This is an anthology piece, featuring three different, and unrelated, horror stories, with Boris Karloff as the narrator. Karloff also stars in the last of the three stories, which is also the best of the trio, about a vampire-infested family in the 1800s countryside.
All three pieces are very moody and well shot, with some gloriously overwrought sets and almost lurid color. The third story is easily the best, and also the longest.
My kids enjoyed it. My youngest son said “scarier than I thought it was going to be!”
