The premise

A special sideshow torture exhibit has the power, according to showman Dr Diabolo, to warn people of foreseeable evil. One by one, skeptics stand before the Fate Atropos to preview the greed and violence hiding behind their respectable façades.

Horror Vault's take

At a shadowy carnival sideshow, the sinister Dr. Diabolo invites curious visitors to peer into their own futures — and the visions are never flattering. This Amicus anthology weaves together several darkly ironic tales, each exposing the rot of ambition, greed, and vanity lurking beneath ordinary lives. With a stellar cast including Burgess Meredith and Peter Cushing, each vignette delivers its own brand of dread wrapped in gleefully gothic style. The wraparound conceit ties it all together with a wicked final sting.
