I believe the movie your talking about
 

The Serpent & The Rainbow.. A really odd movie that was

haven't seen that in years! must watch it again sometime.

lol, who doesnt love The Serpent and The Rainbow (some random idiot will emerge and claim they do soon enough)?

I think it was a decent movie. What the hell were they thinking with the TV trailer for it though? It kind of ruins a twist ending when all the trailers indicate the ending is a twist. The ending was obvious as a result, IMO.

Agreed! I saw didnt see those trailers until after I saw it, thakfully. But ya, they definatly give alot away.

just bought it today am going to watchit tonight,

Speaking of voodoo, does anyone recall (Candyman) Tony Todd in the role of a voodoo priest who puts a curse on a white man, chops him into pieces, and puts him in a sack. And there's an ending shot showing the body parts moving inside the sack.

This could have been some kind of television show...

I think that was a Tales from the Crypt.

Thank you, Doc Faustus.

Did this same series have the story about a glass-eating man from the circus who falls in love, tries to run away with the girl. An old woman removes his "talent", after which he is cut into pieces from the inside. The ending shows the girl frozen from the trauma, and the old woman is sticking pins on her in a circus show.

Should really check where I can get this...
