I miss the horror anthology - the movie like Creepshow or Cat's Eye that is actually a combination of 3-5 shorter horror movies. Trick r Treat was pretty good last year, but this is a phenomenon that seemed to exit with the horror boom of the early 90s. Anyway, this particular horror anthology is not that great, but at least it has Vincent Price in his twilight years I guess. The best stories are the last two, in which a glass eating carnival freak tries to break his contract, and a cruel Union soldier is held captive by a group of maimed Civil War orphans. If you're going to watch a movie from the end of Vincent Price's life that features an undead fetus beating up an old man, I suppose it might as well be this one.RATING: 38%

A friend of mine had this VHS tape that he got from a pawn shop that featured Vincent Price from around this same era. It was called Step Into the Third Dimension and it was an instructional video for a 3D camera. I guess they thought that since Vincent Price had been in some 3D movies, he'd make the ideal spokesperson for a 3D camera. The camera seemed unnecessarily complicated and poor, frail Vincent Price had a hell of a time trying to explain it all. What I'll never forget is Vincent Price trying to hype the camera, saying stuff like, "3D pictures are like regular pictures, only three times as thrilling."
