I forgot to mention the film (sorted now) as pointed out by nos



A real forgotten gem from middle 80s, a anthology film with 3 stories .

Each story concentrates on tension and atmophere and decent storyline, works very well and effective ,

Two friends steal some films from the local video shop and watch them round at one of their girlfriends .

First story stars stars Jonathon Morris from the TV series bread who hates his stepfather who running a punch and Judy show is his livelyhood, problem is his obsession of doing so is slowly killkng his marriage, his stepson soon gets what he deserves when he burns his puppet show down and Mr Punch comes alive and goes on a killing spree.


2nd story of a women who keeps seeing dead bodies and things happening in her house with a twist that different and not the usual story of it turning out to be haunted because of it past, a story that wouldn't be out of place from the hammer house of horrors TV series .

3rd young teenager gets a part time job as a gardener to help pay for his motorbike repair to compete in races, in a huge house with rich but weird owners (or are they ) who believe in faries and lots of garden gnomes for protection, tries to steal from them and doesn't quite end so well .

Highly recommend for fans who like their good old fashioned horrors with tension, suspense, and atmospher, very little on the gore but works well when its there .
