Volume 4: Creepy, Crawly Horror

Volume Four starts off with horror anthologies. Scenes from Tales From The Crypt (1972) and The House That Dripped Blood are included. There's some brief commentary discussing the popularity of the Tales From The Crypt comic books and the movie itself. A brief interview with anthology writer Robert Bloch is included. Later in the show there is a brief return to anthologies when Stephen King discusses The Woman in the Room and how the story reflects upon his own experience with his mother's long, drawn out death. The next segment is on animals in horror. This one jumps around from the killer animals in Eaten Alive and Willard (1971), to the chimpanzee used in Phenomena to portray a mixture of hopelessness, terror, and violence during a murder scene. Wrapping up Volume Four is a look at Clive Barker's novella turned feature film, Hellraiser. There is some behind-the-scenes footage of effects work, as well as several excerpts of Barker reading from the novella, The Hellbound Heart. Clips shown include Tales From The Crypt, The House That Dripped Blood, Eaten Alive, Willard, Phenomena, The Woman In The Room.
