Body Bags

1993 ·1h 35m · ★ 6.1 (371)

A horror anthology containing three stories: a female college student working a graveyard shift is terrorized by a serial killer; a hair transplant goes horribly wrong; and a baseball player loses an eye and gets a new one from a recently executed murderer.

Why it matters

A blood-soaked anthology that wears its ‘90s genre chops with grimy pride, mixing Carpenter’s signature dread with Hooper’s visceral flair.

  • John Carpenter’s morgue-bound wraparound anchors three uneven but memorable tales of body horror and obsession.
  • “Hair” stands out as a darkly comic nightmare of vanity gone grotesque, powered by Stacy Keach’s pitch-perfect turn.
  • Practical effects deliver grimy, gooey payoffs—especially in the eye transplant story, a morbid twist on identity and bodily invasion.
  • For fans of ‘90s horror anthologies craving a mix of cult vibes, practical gore, and a dash of schlocky charm, this is a minor classic worth digging up.
