Body Bags (1993)

After the disappointing returns of his big-studio effort Memoirs of an Invisible Man, John Carpenter briefly returned to television for a Showtime anthology film, seemingly designed to cash in on the popularity of HBO's Tales from the Crypt. 1993's Body Bags was a  particularly fun entry in the filmography for Chris and Nick to discuss -- it includes two segments directed by Carpenter (plus a third by his fellow 70s genre auteur Tobe Hooper) and, even better, features the filmmaker/composer in a rare on-screen appearance as the mortician who hosts the show!  We even get cameo appearances from the likes of Wes Craven, Sam Raimi, Debbie Harry, Greg Nicotero, and lots of others (not to mention Mark Hamill in a REAL change-of-pace role from his Skywalker persona). So, yeah, lots to talk about with this one! Plus, we continue to shill for Shudder, Nick watches some cartoons, and there's even a little Stephen King talk to round things out.
