Summaries

Traveling showman Aaron Quicksilver tells horror tales: a psychotic hitchhiker falls prey to a relentless dangerously-sharp set of chattering teeth, and a human hand that comes alive.

This film is actually two one hour stories, the first based on a Stephen King story called the "Chattery Teeth" about a man who picks up a hitchhiker and the second is based on a Clive Barker story called "The Body Politic" about hands that rebel against the body.—Spanner <[email protected]>

A just married couple has a flat tire at a desert highway and the spare tire is also flat. The husband Kerry Parker asks his wife Olivia Harmon Parker to wait for him while he seeks help. During the night, a trailer stops and the driver Aaron Quicksilver, who is a collector, invites Olivia to stay with him and tells the story of the label salesman Bill Hogan. During a sandstorm, Bill stops at the convenience store owned by Myra and her husband Scooter gives a walking teeth toy for Bill's son as a birthday gift. The reluctant Bill gives a ride in his van to the hitchhiker Bryan Adams, who shows that is a psychopath thief, with a surprising end. Later, Quicksilver is working at a carnival and a pickpocket Charlie hides from the police in his tent. Quicksilver tells him the story of the successful plastic surgeon Dr. Charles George when his hands rebels against his body and declare freedom.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
