SGM Month of Halloween Horror Movie for October 12

"Tales From the Crypt" (1972)

From the back of the box: “When five unwary travelers with dark hearts stumble into a series of catacombs, they find themselves in a cavern with no way out. But the horror’s only just begun as a mysterious figure appears to reveal to each person the shocking events that will soon lead to their well-deserved, untimely – and unavoidable – deaths.”

Star of the film: Peter Cushing, who was told by the director to “act like himself;” see, his wife had just died, and his character was that of a husband who’s wife died and he (the character) was using a Ouija board to contact her. Cushing actually read for a different part, but after perusing the script, he persuaded the producers to let him play the role he ultimately took.
