Product Description
From Amazon.com
Fans of the Tales from the Crypt series and The Twilight Zone should appreciate this early-Eighties anthology of horror tales. "Terror in Topanga" is the tale of a woman terrorized by a maniac when she just has to make a trip to the store for some cigarettes. "The Bishop of Battle" is notable for a very young Emilio Estevez as a teen whose obsession with video games gets the better of him. There's a definite nostalgia factor as he hustles other kids for money on the Paleozoic-era arcade games (listening to punk rock like Black Flag and Fear on an early-model Walkman the whole time). Perhaps the strongest segment involves B-movie stalwart Lance Henriksen as a priest who gives up the clergy and leaves his parish. While traveling across the desert, the hapless padre is pursued by a mysterious black Chevrolet pickup that systematically demolishes his car (shades of Spielberg's Duel). "Night of the Rat," rounding out the quartet, is just that; the story of a family who has a problem with a really big rat. While this little collection of tales tends to telegraph its punchlines well in advance, it still offers up a satisfying chill or two by way of its pacing and suspense, and with a bit more gore than the usual made-for-cable fare. --Jerry Renshaw

Rat as big as Shaq,
By Brian Shaw "bshaw20" (Orlando, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nightmares (DVD)
Finally I found the title of this flick!! I was like, 6 or something when I first watched this, and forgot the name for 20 years until tonight!!!! The movies that stand out is the video game one, the one where the Estevez dude turns to a monochrome dude trapped in the game, and then of course the last one, with the rat, as big as Shaq!!!! Now that is scary!!!!! This is a dandy 80's flick!!!

don't lose your faith,
By william m.goodwin (L.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nightmares (DVD)
Nightmares has 4 vignettes:1.) a nasty video game that consumes JJ (Emilio Estevez) 2.) a psychopathic killer that almost gets smoker(Christina Raines) 3.) A Satanic black Chevy truck trying to kill a faithless priest (Lance Henrickson) and 4.) a dumb story of Giant Rodent ... at a dopey husband ( I forget his name) an enjoyable movie nontheless

WATCH ANY NETWORK "SPECIAL" PROGRAMMING,
By mark t. hein (lowell, Indiana 46356) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nightmares (VHS Tape)
First and foremost, I heard about this movie for years. And as legends grow, so do the myths. A friend of mine ALWAYS talked about a movie that had a "BLACK TRUCK" in it. This truck was evil. It had a "UP-SIDE DOWN" Crucifix hanging from the window. "BIG WHOOP".The ONLY scene that me "JUMP" was the first episode. The only "OTHER" reason to buy this tape is to see a young Emillo Estevas, (THE COOLEST OF THE BROTHERS) and to hear the ORIGINAL MISFITS and FEAR. Other than wanting to be sixteen/seventeen again, I can do without this movie.I'll leave alone the "RAT" story, only because i still like the guy who Ann Romano boyfriend on "ONE DAY AT A TIME" (RICHARD MASER)No thrills-chills or whatever. A recommendation, "Trilogy of Terror".THANXX, FREEBIRD
