Day 273: The Vault of Horror

Another movie based on old EC horror comics, I have seen this one more often that Tales From the Crypt.

Five gentlemen entering an office building find themselves trapped in an underground social club and decide to share scary stories about their nightmares.

1) Midnight Mess- A bounder seeks out his sister and murders her for her part of their inheritance. Where he found her turns out to have more going on than he thought.

2) The Neat Job- Be careful what you ask for when an OCD guy marries his dream girl only to find out she is a slob. Trust me, bad stuff happens.

3) This Trick'll Kill You- A magician on vacation in India decides to steal a trick he sees a young girl performing by killing the performer. When he tries the trick on his own, things don't quite go as planned.

4) Bargain in Death- A tale of being buried alive with a comedy of errors including grave robbers, crooked graveyard owners and business partners gone bad.

5) Drawn and Quartered- An artist makes a voodoo deal to pull an inverse Dorian Gray. Whoever he paints a picture of, he can hurt by hurting the picture. Horror ensues.

These stories mostly came from Tales from the Crypt and are the adaptations of some of my favorite horror comics. If you like anthologies, this is a solid one.
