This surprisingly gruesome horror anthology features a quartet of chilling stories, all of which take place in a single town. VINCENT PRICE, the host of this film, plays Julian White, the father of an executed woman, who recounts several macabre tales in an attempt to convince a journalist that his home town of Oldfield is a place of unparallelled evil. The first story stars CLU GULAGER as Stanley Burnside, a seemingly meek man who turns to murder after being spurned by an attractive co-worker. And then to make matters worse, he consummates his love with the poor woman's corpse, which results in a demonic monster child. Tale two sees trailer-trash lowlife Jesse Hardwick (TERRY KISER) mortally wounded by a pair of gun toting gangsters before escaping into the swamps, where he is miraculously nursed back to health by reclusive old-timer Felder Evans (HARRY CAESER). When Jesse realises that Felder possesses the answer to prolonging life, he resorts to violence to discover the old man's secret, with terrible consequences. The third story is about voodoo magic and forbidden love that sees carnival freak Steven (RON BROOKS) paying the ultimate price when he decides to leave the circus to be with his girlfriend, Amaryllis (DIDI LANIER). The final story stars CAMERON MITCHELL as a despicable Confederate soldier who meets a very nasty end when he stumbles across a town ruled by a gang of cannibalistic children. This Z-Grade gem contains some surprisingly horrific scenes of graphic violence and considerable gore. JEFF BURR was a young, new filmmaker when he boldly approached VINCENT PRICE and asked him to star in his film. Mr. Price was so impressed with Burr's confidence that he readily agreed to take the role. Shot in 1985 and 1986, but not released until 1987.
