FILM 1494: BODY BAGS
TRIVIA: In "The Gas
Station", as Bill is watching TV, the anchorman mentions a body was found
in Haddonfield, a reference to John
Carpenter's earlier film, Halloween (1978).
Was made as the pilot episode for a
proposed anthology series to air on Showtime, but Showtime pulled the plug.
This film features many great
horror directors that act and/or direct. John Carpenter director of
Halloween (1978) plays "The Coroner" and introduces each segment as
well as directs two of the stories, "The Gas Station" and
"Hair", Tobe Hooper
director of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) plays "Morgue Worker #
2" and directs the last segment, "The Eye", Wes Craven director of A
Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) plays "Pasty-Faced Man" at the gas
station, Sam Raimi director of The
Evil Dead (1981) plays "Dead Bill", and Roger Corman plays Dr.
Bregman in the segment "Eye".
