TALES THAT WITNESS MADNESS opens with a doctor (Donald Pleasence) introducing his colleague to the patients in a mental institution. Since this is an anthology film, each patient has a story. They are as follows...
MR. TIGER: A boy has an imaginary friend called Mr. Tiger that is very hungry for meat and bones. Mum and dad aren't getting along, which makes Mr. Tiger quite cross.
PENNY FARTHING: A man inherits a load of antiques from his Aunt's estate. Among them is a strange picture of his Uncle that's seemingly alive and possesses mystical powers.
MEL: When a man drags home a bizarre, woman-shaped tree from the forest, his wife (Joan Collins) doesn't approve, leading to jealousy, obsession, and an inevitable showdown.
Luau: A woman (Kim Novak) plans a big surprise party for her friend. Unfortunately, ancient superstition turns the festivities into a hideous ritual of terror.
The wraparound story concludes with the traditional twist. While the last two segments are the strongest, the whole movie is good. This is a special treat for fans of Ms.'s Collins and Novak...
