Dr. Terror's Gallery of Horrors; Return from the Past; The Blood Suckers; Gallery of Horrors. No, that's not a quadruple feature at the Highway 194 Twin Drive-In. All four titles have been applied to the same film, which also travels under the name Alien Massacre. This multipart scarefest contains five short stories about magic, the occult, the "walking dead" and vampirism. John Carradine serves as narrator of "The Witch's Clock"; Lon Chaney Jr. plays a mad doctor in "The Spark of Life"; Vampire Mitch Evans figures into "Count Alucard"; "Monster Raid" features onetime movie ingenue Rochelle Hudson; and "King Vampire" spotlights a cast of no-names. The above-named veteran performers look suitably embarrassed in this low-budget farrago, which may not be the worst of its kind ever made, but certainly comes close. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
