Terrifying Tales (1989): cast, story & where to watch
1989 · Film
Released in 1989, Terrifying Tales is a drama, horror, mystery and science fiction film directed by Paul Bunnell.
What it’s about. Terrifying Tales contains three independently-produced shorts running about 20 minutes apiece. Only one of the three; Paul Bunnell's "Final Destination: Unknown" (copyrighted 1989), is actually horror. The other two; Armand Garabidian's "Ten Seconds to Countdown" (copyrighted 1986) and Ephraim Schwartz's "Creatures of Habit" (also 1986), are, respectively, science fiction and drama with only slight mystery components. The three used here are connected only in that they were shorts made by UCLA graduate students. Sadly, none of them is very good. The opening title screens and closing credits have been left intact for each.
Who’s in it. Terrifying Tales stars Christine Warner as Young Woman ("Ten Seconds to Countdown"), Andrew Magarian as Sonny Blake (segment "Final Destination Unknown"), Lisa Fuller as Angela Godfrey (segment "Final Destination Unknown") and James R. Sweeney as Mr. Godfrey (segment "Final Destination: Unknown"), among others.
