Mania (1986 Canadian Horror Anthology)

Mania is an "omnibus" film courtesy of Canadian director Paul Lynch. If you haven't heard of Lynch, you might be familiar with some of his films: Prom Night, Bullies, Humongous. This 1986 effort is a TV-style horror anthology (very likely intended for small screen) concerning four separate terror stories, united by a gritty urban setting. The film runs 120 minutes, ( this VHS copy only runs for 86 mins ) a bit too attenuated for its subject matter. The cast of Mania is comprised of Canadian actors who are best known in the U.S. for their voice-over contributions to Saturday morning cartoon shows: Deborah Grover, Stephen B. Hunter, Lenora Zenn, Wayne Robson.
