Which story is your favorite?


i like them all. but if i had to choose, i think i like the hitchhiker. just because it scared me the most out of the 3, and i just like the whole concept. the raft is really good too. but i don't really find a floating garbage bag to be that scary.

which one is your favorite?

The Raft. A number of reasons to find it the creepiest, the creature has you when you're most vulnerable and the deaths were pretty gruesome. The Hitchiker just felt like a story that had been done to death (maybe not as much back when this movie came out) plus it's just 'you killed some homeless guy so now you're doomed to die' - the only redeeming thing about that story was the totally hilarious "Thanks for the ride lady!" as he's killing her. The Chief was plain silly, the old man wouldn't give up some jewels to save the life of his wife? Couldn't he just report them to the police and get it recovered - I mean it's the guy would stand out in a line up, just look for the hair.

I'd say the animated short was my second favorite, large carnivorous plants eating you sounds like a fairly gruesome fate :)

The Raft is my favourite.

The Hitchhiker by far. the other two were a waste of film. The third tale redeems this movie somewhat.

The Hitchhiker had gore, humour, and excitement. Also, the lead actress somehow delivers and excellent performance despite the terrible script and the fact that most of her dialogue is spoken to herself.

OLD CHIEF WOODEN'HEAD, good to see the villains get what's coming to them. Very EC comics style.

You know what, I know I'll be in the minority here, but I'm a sucker for stories about dirty rotten bastards getting what's coming to them good and hard, even if the stories are a little silly, so I'm going with "Old Chief Woodenhead" too.

Undoubtedly, 'The Raft'.

With no doubt, THE RAFT. When Randy jumps into the water trying to swim away from the blob, I was litteraly on the edge of my seat. When that sleeping girl wakes up to find her face is getting melted away, I was freaked out. Then, seconds later, we see her as a skeleton, still screaming. Damn.

The Hitchhiker and Chief Woodn'head were both good. But I didnt get the ending of The Hitchhiker at all, and Cheif Woodn'head was too slow the first half, but to rushed the second half.

I have El Sonoma del Torra de Fiero Syndrome. Be happy you don't. Trust me.

Old Chief Woodn' Head FTW ive grown up in the west amongst Native Americans and learned alot from them. Also my grandfather was an old west nut and so theres that Nostalgia for me. but still he ends up being a pretty cool character. You wanna run *beep* ILL PULL YOUR ASS THROUGH THE WALL! and ive always loved the ending when chief Benjamin Whitemoon sees the aftermath of what has transpired and gives his little prayer at the end.

Old Chief Wood'nhead was my favorite. It is very underrated. It doesn't get nearly as much recognition as the other two stories.

I also pick "Old Chief Wood'nhead" and agree it's the most
underrated of all 3 tales. The statue is creepy, I felt bad
for George Kennedy's character, Ray and glad the statue
avenged him.
