John Carpenter Reviewed- Day 15- Body Bags (1993)

Horror anthology directed by Carpenter and Tobe Hooper.

The three tales are ‘Unleaded’ (Halloween meets Intruder), ‘Hair’ (alien hair transplant) and ‘Baseball Man’ (serial killer possesses guy who is transplanted one of his eyes).

All three are excellent. It’s a shame nothing came of this TV movie as it makes a great pilot for a regular series.

Very interesting casting too with Stacy Keach, David McNaughton, Wes Craven, Sheena ‘9 to 5’ Easton, Twiggy, Roger Corman, Mark Hamill…and Debbie Harry always turns a frown upside down.

Carpenter’s morgue worker seguewaying the episodes is great.

4 out of 5 stars
