The Wandering Creature (And Other Tales)
Beware! This picture contains FOUR TIMES the FRIGHTS of the average HORROR film!
2026·1h 13m·★ 0.0
Writer/director Christopher R. Mihm takes a stab (pun intended) at an anthology movie in the vein of "Twilight Zone: The Movie," "Trilogy of Terror," and "Creepshow," albeit in his signature retro-B-movie style! In a series of linked, short tales-of-horror, an unmanned spacecraft returning from the asteroid Vesta breaks up upon re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere and scatters sample containers across Phantom Lake County! Not-so-unexpectedly, contact with the mysterious, otherworldly contents of these canisters creates a whole host of terrifying creatures—like mushroom monsters, killer garden gnomes, and more!
