The Yuletide terror commences as Joan Collins faces an escaped, lunatic Santa Claus in opening segment “All Through the House". Ralph Richardson is “The Crypt Keeper” who greets a group touring catacombs to inform them individually of the horrific events that await their futures - “and then...” Peter Cushing appears in the “Poetic Justice” segment in one of his most memorable roles as elderly dustman Arthur Grimsdyke, bullied to death by his upper-crust neighbours who see him as a blight on the neighbourhood. It won't end well for them!
