flat horror anthology frame by story of college student be teach the psychology of fear by creepy professor edward derek ( ramy zada ) who invite them to his house one night so they can swap scary story . story number one be about husband and wife ( nadine van der velde and marc mcclure ) who take the long and scenic route home late at night and when the inevitable car trouble take place and they venture inside the obligatory spooky mansion where grisly murder happen . mostly just lame and this story be however not totally without tension and do feature a sadistic final twist . story number two be about some air head teenage girl who hope to have a night of fun but end up lose in the bad part of town and pursue by a degenerate predator ( luis contreras ) and his three killer dog . not scary at all and nor very involve and but it have a literally incendiary finale . horror buff may recognize judie aronson of friday the 13th represent the final chapter and penelope sudrow of a nightmare on elm street 3 represent dream warrior in this story . at least ms. sudrow doesn not get her head ram through a tv here . story number three be the mild best of the bunch and with a message service operator ( marg helgenberger ) be menace by pathetic yet undeniably dangerous loony ( alan rosenberg and helgenberger real life husband ) . the bad guy keep work his way back to her and lead to a decent final shot . helgenberger be pretty good in this segment in fact and she one of the best thing in the whole picture . the frame story wrap up with the arrival of an uninvited guest and this lead to some of the film more outré horror . however and the denouement strike me a dumb and annoying . probably one of the thing that bug me the most be jillian mcwhirter underwhelming work a the film prescient central character . overall and lightweight and forgettable genre fare . it story be not particularly memorable and and it be never at any time even remotely frighten . the writer or producer or director and jim and ken wheat and couldn not really pull this off . negative .
