Spoilers for this title

Quick recap

A Fox anthology TV movie directed by Mick Garris. The host is Aaron Quicksilver (Christopher Lloyd), a roadside showman who tells horror stories to the people he meets. There are two segments. In one, "The Body Politic", adapted from Clive Barker's story, Quicksilver tells a pickpocket about Dr. Charles George (Matt Frewer), a man whose hands start acting on their own and turn on him. The other segment, "Chattery Teeth", comes from a Stephen King story. It started life as a TV series pitch, but Fox wanted a two-hour movie instead.
