Three excellent, low-key stories (by modern gorehound standards) that don't let TV budget get in the way of skillful telling. The first is not horror at all -- it's really an optimistic, Jack Finney time travel fantasy -- but it was great anyway. The second is classic Matheson, a psychological horror piece. The third, the longest of the three, is genuinely terrifying at points, and probably the defining segment of the anthology (and the origin of the image used on the cover). Surprisingly good!

The first story was kind of a Twilight Zone feel, the second story was okay, the third story was the best!

First story is somewhat a snoozer but the other two were great! Worthwhile.

first story was good, second was lame, and third was annoying.
