The Midnight Exhibit Vol. 3 — William Meikle

Kidnapping is simple, if you know what you're doing, even simpler if you do away with anyone who knew you were involved. Riding high with a backpack full of cash, Johnny makes his getaway, first by car (where he catches the final episode of a radio documentary about a mammoth, hungry worm and the scientists fighting to save the world from it), then by bus (where he picks up a left behind tabloid and reads the tale of a young actress in the midst of a bloodthirsty metamorphosis), and finally breaks for the night in a dumpy motel room (where he turns on the news to find the world under siege from a horrible black blob).Three shorts and a wraparound, terror in the classic anthology form, reminiscent of the golden years of horror.
