Kidnapping is simple, if you know what you're doing, even simpler if you do away with anyone who knew you were involved. Riding high with a backpack full of cash, Johnny makes his getaway, first by car (where he catches the final episode of a radio documentary about a mammoth, hungry worm and the scientists fighting to save the world from it), then by bus (where he picks up a left behind tabloid and reads the tale of a young actress in the midst of a bloodthirsty metamorphosis), and finally breaks for the night in a dumpy motel room (where he turns on the news to find the world under siege from a horrible black blob). Three shorts and a wraparound, terror in the classic anthology form, reminiscent of the golden years of horror. Book 36 in the Rewind-or-Die series: imagine your local movie rental store back in the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s, remember all those fantastic covers. Remember taking those movies home and watching in awe as the stories unfolded in nasty rainbows of gore, remember the atmosphere and textures. Remember the blood.
