A special sideshow torture exhibit has the power, according to showman Dr . Diablo, to warn people of evil in their futures. As skeptical customers are shown the greed and violence they're hiding, one of them snaps and kills Diablo . When they run off, we see the murder to be staged as part of the show. One of the customers has hung around to see this , and wants to make a deal with Diablo, aka the Devil. A very good anthology of tales, written by Robert Bloch and directed by Freddie FRancis, for Amicus, an icon of this kind of movie . The tales are uneven, sure, but they are all at least good, till the perfect final one, the Man who collected Poe, with Jack Palance and Peter Cushing, a great idea, and a marvelous tale to watch. Very good Burgess Meredith as Diabolo the Great, the host for these tales . Unfortunately for us all, this kind of movies are a thing from the past and today we don't get any more gems like this. A must see
