The creator of the legendary movie ‘Night of the Living Dead’ invites you to the pages of a children’s comic book, where a cute, cartoonish and harmless looking skeleton, will provide you with a whole kaleidoscope of horrors. One of the most original and unusual adaptations of Stephen King, consisting not of 5 novellas as it may seem…

‘Father’s Day’. An oddball daughter, well drunk, comes to the cemetery, to the grave of her ‘good’ daddy, on Fathers’ Day holiday. Recalling her not-so-good past (she fractured her father’s skull with an ashtray a few years ago), she witnesses her long-dead father rise from the grave with a silly request: where’s my cake, Bidelli?

‘The Lonely Death of Geordie Veril’. Starring, maybe not a great actor, but a really great writer – Stephen King. Playing an oddball farmer, he hopes to get what he thinks is a big reward for a meteorite that fell on his property, but instead begins to grow, more and more, some kind of weed.

‘Tide’. A brutal killer, played by Leslie Nielsen, buries a guy and his girlfriend in the sand hours before high tide, who are killed when the tide comes in. Even the dead can take revenge.

‘Something Under the Stairs’. Under the stairs they find an ancient box that is a hundred years old, no less – in it is a bloodthirsty monster with the only desire – to satisfy its hunger… Taking advantage of the situation, a cruel husband gives his drunkard wife to the monster to eat, and confident in his impunity throws the box with the monster into the river.

‘Revenge’. A professor with murder on his conscience receives a curse from the murdered man’s wife: ‘May you be eaten by cockroaches!’ Since then, more and more cockroaches appear in his lab, from which there is no escape.

The movie begins with a father taking a horror comic book away from his son after yelling at him a lot and hurriedly sending it to the trash can. The offended son sees a skeleton outside the window, a guide to the world of horror, who turns the page of the comic book with a smile at the end of each novel. ‘You’ll know how to steal my comics,’ says the son, jabbing needles, with both anger and joy, into the voodoo toy. The father squirms in pain. This, in my opinion, is the 6th novelization that concludes this journey through the comic book. The film is shot with black humor, which gives a comic touch to the already naive horror. The movie is primarily for those who appreciate old horror movies.
