Cast: Jonathan Gabriel, Lynette Perry, Nikki Waite
Before anyone gets confused, this is not the 1986 movie with the same name. This is the incredibly rare, short lived horror-anthology series that aired on Lifetime in March of 1988.

Obscure seldom seen and even less remembered Terrorvision was a short running anthology horror television show, some genre fan thankfully compiled an hour and half feature so its not become lost forever. First tale up is called 'Closet Monster' and it's your basic tale of a young boy (wearing original Tron pjamas) not getting to sleep because he thinks theres a monster in his closet, turns out hes right and it gets his mother. Second tales called 'Final Edition' and follows the tried and tested formula of a woman being stalked while shes alone in her house. Third and my favorite out of the bunch goes by the title 'The Craving'and revolves around an obese man needing dental treatment so he can get back to enjoying his food, while under anestecic he has a nightmare the dentist and assistant are vampires, the twist being when the man leaves we see the dentists name on his door as Dr A Cula. Next is 'Reflections of Murder' and follows a crooked lawyer killing his partner only he won't stay dead. The fifth's 'One of a Kind' and follows a wannabe model who gets turned into a fashion manequien by potential employees. The sixth story is entitled 'A Cold Day in July' it follows a crooked husband who decides to lock his wife and partner in a meat freezer, because he owes them money. The seventh and final tale 'Rosemary's Lot' is about a pathologist whos current case involves a cursed hand. All in all a pretty tame yet harmless bunch of tales nothing you wouldn't see these days in Goosebumps.
