I couldn’t choose between these two delightfully weird horror anthology movies, so I made this a double header. I love how pulp and bizarre these movies are. Tales from the Darkside is unofficially Creepshow 3, due to a bunch of production drama, and I love the variety of stories, from a grad student resurrecting a mummy for revenge, to a hit man vs. a killer cat, to a failed artist being terrorized by a gargoyle’s curse. And Body Bags features John Carpenter as a Beetlejuice/Cryptkeeper host, with a great story of a woman fending off a serial killer on her work shift at an empty gas station at night, to a balding man getting the Monkey’s Paw treatment when he miraculously grows hair, to a baseball player with a disturbed eye. I highly recommend both films if you like pulp horror stories with a decent cast of famous names.
