The premise
Aaron Quicksilver is a mysterious storyteller whose listeners invariably end up as the subjects of his gruesome, grisly tales. He tells a new bride stranded on a desert highway a horrifying account of a set of carnivorous toy teeth, then entrains a pickpocket with the spine chilling story of an army of murderous, disembodied hands.
Horror Vault's take
A silver-tongued wanderer named Aaron Quicksilver prowls desolate highways, weaving macabre tales for unlucky strangers who cross his path. Two chilling anthology segments unfold — one involving a set of snapping novelty teeth with a hunger of their own, and another featuring a rebellion of severed hands with deadly intent. Based on short fiction by Stephen King and Clive Barker, the film leans into gleeful, grotesque absurdity with a theatrical flair. Christopher Lloyd relishes every moment as the enigmatic host binding these twisted stories together.
