Deadtime Stories Volume 2

In the fine tradition of such classics as The Night Gallery and Trilogy of Terror, not to forget Deadtime Stories Volume 1, this disc features three well-made horror stories whose only connection with one another is the introduction by the host, legendary director George Romero. The stories aren’t big on surprises or twist endings, but they sure do crank up the gore … in a good way. What’s the point of telling a story about hikers trapped in a cave who resort to unspeakable lengths to survive (The Gorge) if you don’t show the audience what those lengths really look like?
