Body Bags	comment	Body Bags is a 1993 horror anthology film made for Showtime and directed by John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper. It stars Carpenter as the Coroner, who brings the viewers three tales centered around the cadavers in his care."The Gas Station" is about Anne (Alex Datcher), a college student who is beginning a job at an isolated filling station near Haddonfield, IL. Her supervisor warns her that a serial killer has escaped from the insane asylum and is prowling about (and unfortunately, it ain't Michael). Anne must keep an eye out for the lunatic and make it to the end of the night shift. What she doesn't know however, is that the lunatic is closer to her than she thinks."Hair" centers around Richard Coberts (Stacy Keach), a balding, middle-aged man who is extremely insecure and self-conscious about his thinning hairline. As his insecurities begin driving a wedge between himself and his girlfriend, he decides to undergo a "miraculous" treatment in order to give himself new hair. At first, the transplant seems to be a success, with Richard growing a full head of hair overnight. But after a few days, Richard begins feeling sick and fatigued as the hair begins growing longer and longer, even in places where hair doesn't normally grow.The final segment, "Eye", is about Brent Matthews (Mark Hamill), a professional baseball player who loses his eye in a horrible car accident. Not wanting to end his career, he allows himself to undergo an experimental surgery to have his ruined eye replaced. The operation is a success & everything is fine...until Brent starts having disturbing visions...

The Doctor's company is called Roswell Hair Growth Laboratories, which is a clear reference to the infamous alleged alien landing of 1947, since the Doctor himself is a host for the aliens.
