Is it certain the two snobbish men in "Poetic Justice" are father and son? I thought it was implied that they were a couple.Ccoll 07:08, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

• I believe both are correct. It was a father-son couple.
  • I watched this on TV today and the end of the "Wish You Were Here" segment made me sick to my stomach for the rest of the film. The Wookieepedian 04:45, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

The irony of the "Poetic Justice" segment has Peter Cushing portraying a widower, and Mr. Cushing had just lost his own wife, Helen Beck, who was the true love of his life, whose death left him severely despondent for years. It's almost painful to watch him in this role, knowing the pain of the loss he had just experienced.Sea Wolf (talk) 04:15, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

"Connections to the TV series": is this really necessary?

The similarly-titled television series is not based on this film. The film and the TV series were produced by entirely different entities in entirely different countries several decades apart. The only connection this film has to the TV series is that both were inspired by/adapted from the same comic book. Surely the information in this section should be moved to the article on either the comic book or the TV series? 98.211.124.111 (talk) 02:26, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Wish You Were Here, segment

Should we have a blooper section? In the 2nd last segment, the wife wishs her dead husband returned just before his accident. In that situation, the guy wouldn't have been filled with embalming fluid, as car crash occured mere seconds after fatal heart attack. Yet, when she then wishs him alive, he comes to life filled with embalming fluid. That's a blooper. GoodDay (talk) 23:08, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Not a blooper if you know the nature of these wish granting Chinese figurines and bottle genies and monkey's paws: They are at heart all tricksters and best avoided all together. Second wish was to bring him back to the way he was just before the accident but he was still dead because he died of a heart attack which caused the accident; third wish she wished to bring him back alive to live forever. Now, I have not seen the movie in decades, but apparently the 3rd wish revert did a reset to how his body was before the second wish and not how it was after, so he was still embalmed when she wished him to eternal life. -- 67.235.68.74 (talk) 18:34, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Problems with lede

The lede is IMO too long, repeats information and includes information better left until later in the article. I'm going to make some revisions. Harfarhs (talk) 16:57, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

OK, all done for now. Harfarhs (talk) 19:51, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Points of interest

I don't understand the first of the "points of interest" (a section that I've never seen anywhere else on Wikipedia, by the way). It says, "Only two of the stories are from EC's Tales from the Crypt comic book." But then it mentions all five stories appeared within paperbacks of reprints. Weren't those stories reprinted from the original comic book? If not, which is which? Which of the stories are the two from the original run, and which are not, and how did the latter appear in those paperbacks? Kumagoro-42 (talk) 17:38, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
