Ever since viewing the Tales From the Darkside movie, I've had a fascination with anthology films. From Creepshow to Necronomicon: Book of the Dead, the anthology format has always provided a superb medium for telling ephemeral tales of horror. While many horror movies fail due to an idea overstaying its welcome, anthology movies allow for the perfect conditions to express sinister ideas which might otherwise not work for a full length feature. The 1980s produced a number of notable anthology features, all of which I've included below! Enjoy!
