Chillers (1987): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 1987, Chillers is a horror film directed by Daniel Boyd, running about 91 minutes. “Evil Travels In Many Forms Even By Bus!!!” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. While waiting for their bus five passengers who have all just had horrible nightmares decide to tell them to each other to help kill time. A swimmer, who has lessons in a swimming pool with a dead swimmer, tells the first one. A young boy, who goes camping with two friends and has a crazy man as a leader, is next. Then a lonely woman, who has an infatuation with the anchor of a late night show, and finds that he is indeed a vampire. A young man, who finds he has the gift of bringing dead people back to life, brings a cold blood criminal back to life. Last, a skeptic professor of anthropology tells to his students about an evil native Mexican creature from the Middle Ages called "Ixpe", and a young woman embodies it. When the bus finally arrives they get a huge surprise.
