Four horrific tales come together in an anthology in the gruesome spirit of "Tales From the Crypt" and "Creepshow."

Co-starring Lesley Anne Down (the "North and South" miniseries), Donald Pleasance (the "Halloween" film series) and Emmy-winner David Warner ("The Omen").

Bolt the door, lower the lights and settle in for a stylish five-episode supernatural shocker possessed of a shivery all-star cast and drenched in evil. Welcome to Temptations Ltd., a decrepit antique shop whose unwary customers get more than they bargain for from the wily proprietor (Peter Cushing). Much more.

Anthology film from Amicus adapted from four stories by R. Chetwynd-Hayes strung together about an antique dealer and the fate that befalls his customers who try to cheat him.

A clerical error leads to the appointment of a left-leaning small-town priest to a rich village, where he immediately horrifies his snobby parishioners by appointing a dustman and a black man as vicar's wardens and throwing open the vicarage to the sprawling, disreputable Smith family, who have just been evicted from their caravan site. He converts the dowager aristocrat to works of absurd charity but he soon has the town and much of the country in uproar.

This delightful 1960s comedy stars Peter Sellers as the Rev. John Smallwood, an unconventional prison chaplain who's mistakenly appointed as Vicar of the wealthy parrish of Orbiston Parva, known for its local laxative factory. When Smallwood bucks the town's rigid expectations and insists on ministering to the rich and poor alike, he unwittingly shakes up the town's social order and infuriates everyone -- from the needy to the greedy.

Shy loser Henry Palfrey (Ian Carmichael) is in love with April Smith (Janette Scott), but she's dating the suave Raymond Delauney (Terry-Thomas), so he enrolls in unconventional education classes to up his game. At the secret "College of Lifesmanship," Henry's confidence soars after taking courses such as "Woomanship" and "One-upmanship." Hilarious performances highlight this brisk and biting British farce.

This lighthearted comedy shows us how Henry Palfrey changes from a young man with a giant inferiority complex into a confident, assured man-of-the-world after a course at the College of Lifemanship on 'how to win without actually cheating'. Sweet is the moment when he takes his revenge on all who cheated and duped him and steals the beautiful April from the arms of his cocksure rival.
