About the Movie: From the macabre imagination of
Stephen King comes this trio of terrifying
tales. In the first episode, a New York man has
trouble giving up cigarettes. He turns to a
shady self-help operation whose hotheaded owner
outlines a litany of incrementally harsh
penalties for those who cannot resist having
another puff. The second story centers on
Cressner, a mobster who works Atlantic City. His
wife has been having an affair with a tennis
pro, so Cressner forces the athlete to walk the
ledge around his apartment high-rise. If the
athlete can complete one lap along the overhang,
he gets to be with Cressner's wife forever. A
young girl, in the closing narrative, has
difficulty sleeping. Though her parents suspect
the family cat of wrongdoing, the girl knows
better -- especially after she spots a foot-high
troll coming out of her bedroom wall...
