Quicksilver Highway


(TV1997) ***

Mick Garris+Clive Barker+Stephen King=Weee! Two fun little horror stories, in the veins of Tales from the Crypt. Except the Crypt Keeper is Christopher Lloyd. Mwahahaha! Christopher Lloyd plays a traveling showman that tells the tales to a woman waiting for her husband, as he goes to get help for their broken down car. The first tale is "Chattery Teeth", about a salesman that stops by a gas stop on the side of the road to get gas and buys a wind-up chattery teeth for his son's birthday. As he's driving home, he picks up a hitchhiker who tries to rob and kill him. The teeth protect him from the intruder...The second tale is "The Body Politic". It's about a pair of hands of a man(Matt Frewer) that start a revolution among other hands. Its got blood and suicidal hands, but its funny more than scary."No, it's not a Hand of Glory. I just need a manicure".Chattery TeethNeed a hand?
