Films like Creepshow are made from scratch, but the 1980s saw the rise of a new kind of anthology; the ones pieced together from preexisting material. An early example of this format, sometimes referred to...

Wife Pearl (also played by Goth) becomes jealous of the young, hot movie makers– violently so. West’s use of sound and music is assured; he makes wonderful use of retro songs like Blue...
