The Side Show
25 November 2013
Freddie Francis directed this four-part horror anthology told by carnival sideshow barker Dr. Diablo(played by Burgess Meredith) to his eager patrons wanting to know about their futures. Tales are: 'Enoch' - An heir discovers evil sorcery at work in his new cottage. 'Terror Over Hollywood' - A young woman discovers why some celebrities don't appear to age, much to her regret. 'Mr. Steinway' - A woman finds that her romantic rival is a piano. 'The Man Who Collected Poe' - Starring Peter Cushing & Jack Palance as Poe enthusiasts who discover that one of them has taken things too far. Mediocre film has three weak first tales before a memorable final one; it's quite good, but the film as a whole is not.
