Dr_Nostromo
57/100 A 3-story anthology presented by John Carpenter, as a guy in the morgue for the wraparound tale, and as director of the first 2 tales with Tobe Hooper doing the third. "The Gas Station" - long-winded with no one acting normally. The ending was sufficiently gory but I almost turned it off before I got there. "Hair" - The highlight story, Stacy Keach is awesome as a man who is hopelessly obsessed with his thinning hair. This would have worked well as a Creepshow story. "Eye" - Common story used plenty of times but done effectively with horrific results. -- DrNostromo.com
