Did you know
- TriviaDespite being present from the opening, and also top billed, Jack Palance (Ronald Wyatt) does not speak until one hour and fifteen minutes into this movie.
- GoofsAlthough Doctor Diabolo charges his customers five pounds to enter the Torture Garden, and the framing story ostensibly takes place in the United Kingdom, the banknotes seen on screen are clearly US currency.
- Quotes
Lancelot Canning (segment 4 "The Man Who Collected Poe"): Did you know that there are ways to raise the dead?
- Alternate versionsThe region 1 DVD from Columbia is 100 minutes long, 7 minutes longer than the previous VHS release.

Featured review
Pretty Uneven
A collection of short horror episodes where freak show proprietor Burgess Meredith invites a group of patrons to experience their own futures. The best, in my opinion, is the one with Jack Palance, who is a great admirer of Poe. He visits the private collection of the world's foremost collector of Poe memorabilia, only to find the true source of the collection.
Another character has his comeuppance, tortured by a cat--payment for his greed, irresponsibility, and impatience.
In another, a greedy, ambitious young woman plays her cards too well, but overlooks something which proves here undoing.
In the silliest, a young blonde gets between a man and his love for his "killer" piano. As a matter of fact, as killer piano movies go, it's one of the best.
The stories are uneven in quality, but are well produced and interesting. I would give this a marginal recommendation. It has a very good cast and reasonably good script.
