Some fun stories, but even in 1982 some of them likely felt a bit stale.
Loved the animated credits and touches to the film though!

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gleefully twisted comic-book horror show that delights in its own ridiculousness, serving up five wickedly inventive tales of cosmic justice and grotesque comeuppance. It's genuinely scary and genuinely funny in equal measure, never apologizing for either.
