Synopsis: Director Ron Ford takes us back to a bygone age of storytelling with his adaptation of three short stories by H.G. Wells, Mary Shelley and Rudyard Kipling. Crystal Gazing sets the theme for Dead Time Tales. Each of the stories starts with a customer buying an item from the sophisticated but hen-pecked antique dealer Winston Kale (Greg Cannone) then follows that customer on a separate but intertwined tale. Throughout the progress of the tales, Winston becomes increasingly obsessed with a crystal in which he can see an alien world and itÕs cannibalistic creatures. Cold Feet features Veronica Carothers in a stunning triple role as a whip toting dominatrix who becomes the obsession of Eric (Michael Labarbera) after he buys an antique postcard bearing her picture from the antique store. Obsession turns to waking nightmare as we take a dark journey into the forbidden realms of the human libido in this horrific adaptation of Mary ShelleyÕs The Transformation. In Bestiality, a gangster steals a cursed ring from a mysterious tribal shaman, provoking him to call down he curse of the werewolf upon him. The gangsterÕs thugs torture the shaman to make him lift the curse, but the cure may be worse than the curseÉ Dead Time Tales is a roller coaster ride of horror from the pens of three of the greatest story tellers of all time.
