The Frighteners (1972–1973)
5/10
Tense, depressing, creepy, sad, no happy endings

Warning: Spoilers
Some were funny, some were weird, some were just pointless, some played on your worst fears.

"Have a nice day at the zoo" This is without a doubt the best of the lot. Intense drama, the end takes a disturbing turn.

"The classroom" was kind of funny. A former student confronts a mean teacher and tries to get her to feel guilty and commit suicide, she turns it into a murder suicide.

The minder, old comrades and firing squad were just boring.

Miss mouse was hilarious. A man murders his annoying wife only to be forced to marry an equally annoying women AND be a slave to her mother. Either that or life in prison.

"The treat" was just weird and pointless. I had trouble making sense of it. A bunch of old men playing silly games and fighting with sticks like children.

My interpretation was a schizophrenic man is tormented by 2 imaginary friends who make him commit murder. Gave me a headache.

"The manipulators" was just disgusting and i couldnt finish it or even make sense of what was going on, I ended up skipping over alot. Apparently it was meant to be an "mind experiment" for the audience. Basically 2 scientists try to push a man over the edge to kill his baby, just because.

"The dissapearing man" was depressing and creepy. The ended played out like an American school shooting. Definitely one of the scarier ones.

"Night of the stag" starts out like some lame soap opera then ends in an unscary horror.

"Bed and breakfast" A couple that attempted murder in their younger years is forced to look after the elderly victim that they crippled.

"Glad to be of help" plays into your worst fear of being stuck with a crazy, dangerous person. A deranged loonatic corners an mp alone in his office and attempts to suffocate him to death with a belt. Watch this before meeting up with anyone online.

"You remind me of someone" was just predictable and lame, and ends in a quick murder...... its always when they're being nice is when they strike.
