Locked in a vault, five men swap stories of recurring nightmares in this anthology horror film based on the EC Comics series. In “Midnight Mess,” Harold Rodgers (Daniel Massey) murders his sister to collect inheritance money, only to find her resurrected as a bloodthirsty vampire. A friend of Maitland (Michael Craig) buries him alive and leaves him to die in “Bargain in Death.” The three remaining stories feature a magic trick turned deadly, voodoo mysticism and a twisted domestic dispute.
Directed by Roy Ward Baker
Based on the stories written by Al Feldstein and Bill Gaines as originally published by William M. Gaines in the comic magazines entitled ‘The Vault of Horror’ and ‘Tales from the Crypt’.
