''From a Whisper to a Scream'', also known as ''The Offspring'', is a 1987 American anthology horror film directed by Jeff Burr and starring Vincent Price. == Synopsis == In a small Tennessee town called Oldfield, historian Julian White (Vincent Price) relates four horror stories to a reporter (Susan Tyrrell). The stories are connected to the past and present of Oldfield, which seems to be an epicenter for pure evil. White's narration serves as a wraparound story for four otherwise unconnected segments set during different periods in history ranging from the American Civil War to present day. The first, set in modern times, involves awkward grocery clerk Stanley Burnside (Clu Gulager) who attempts to date his glamorous boss (Megan McFarland) with disastrous results (the film's video title ''The Offspring'' presumably refers to this segment). The second segment, set in the 1950s, is the tale of a wounded man (Terry Kiser) on the run from murderous gangsters, who encounters a mysterious man (Harry Caesar) that may be guarding a powerful secret. The third segment, set in the 1930s, involves a local girl (Didi Lanier), who falls in love with a glass-eating carnival performer (Ron Brooks) much to the displeasure of the carnival's controlling Snakewoman (Rosalind Cash). The fourth and final segment, set during the American Civil War, finds Union Sgt. Gallen (Cameron Mitchell) and his men encountering a group of children living alone, apparently without adults, on an isolated farmhouse. They appear to be war orphans, but all is not what it seems, as Gallen and his men quickly learn. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「From a Whisper to a Scream (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
