Trivia:

The first part (or in some versions, the third part) of this anthology horror film, "Case Of Harry Billings" starring Richard Moll, was edited from an unfinished, unreleased horror film, "Scream Your Head Off" (although copies of it are reported to be available). That film was written by Philip Yordan and directed by John Carr (both were also credited as the writer and director of this film).

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: The strings on the killer insect can be seen when it first starts to fly.

Quotes:

[with lingerie suddenly replacing her doctor's uniform, Dr. Fargo approaches Harry's bed and injects Harry something that makes him twitch]
Dr. Fargo: [while suddenly fondling with him] I'm only trying to cure you... I'll protect you... No more pain. No more hurt. No dreams... Only healing in my arms. Susan would want you to feel again: human... fondling... alive... worm... waiting...
[starts mounting him on the bed]

Movie Connections:

Edited from Cataclysm (1980)

Soundtrack:

Only A Fool

Looks like it was assembled by a hopeless methamphetemine addict.

As stated in other comments, this mess of a movie is a medley of footage from other films...a feeble attempt at an anthology. The result is possibly the most disorienting cinematic experience since "Psyched By the 4-D Witch". I recognize 2 of the stories in this, "Death Wish Club" and "Cataclysm", both of which are somewhat interesting B- trash flicks. The footage with 70s superstud John Phillip Law, however, is a mystery to me...what the Hell is this movie? It looks AMAZING...for all the wrong reasons.

Some heinous early MTV rock video styled nonsense is mashed up in this thing, too, and it features the worst fashion bummers of all time. In short, this is a schlock movie must- hilarious and very original.
