Body Bags (1993)

After the disappointing returns of his big-studio effort
Memoirs of an Invisible Man, John
Carpenter briefly returned to television for a Showtime anthology
film, seemingly designed to cash in on the popularity of HBO's
Tales from the Crypt. 1993's Body
Bags was a  particularly fun entry in the
filmography for Chris and Nick to discuss -- it includes two
segments directed by Carpenter (plus a third by his fellow 70s
genre auteur Tobe Hooper) and, even better, features the
filmmaker/composer in a rare on-screen appearance as the
mortician who hosts the show!  We even get cameo appearances
from the likes of Wes Craven, Sam Raimi, Debbie Harry, Greg
Nicotero, and lots of others (not to mention Mark Hamill in a
REAL change-of-pace role from his Skywalker persona). So, yeah,
lots to talk about with this one! Plus, we continue to shill for
Shudder, Nick watches some cartoons, and there's even a little
Stephen King talk to round things out.
