Meh

Is there anything you would change about this book?

This was several short stories, dramatized. The dramatizations were good, but the stories were a little outlandish and unbelievable.

Any additional comments?

I guess I got my money's worth.

An Intense & Thrilling Episode

This was an intense episode of the series. 4 hard hitting stories to thrill and terrify you. Cast and production are excellent. Do note that Vincent Price is not part of this show, the stories are inspired by his works. That does not make them any less entertaining.
