What happens

Night Train to Terror is a 1985 American anthology horror film written by Philip Yordan and directed by Jay Schlossberg-Cohen, with segments directed by John Carr, Phillip Marshak, Tom McGowan, and Gregg C. Tallas. The film features three separate stories, presented through a frame narrative in which God and Satan view and debate the fates of the characters contained within them. The three interior segments that comprise Night Train to Terror were shot years prior and were originally intended as standalone features, but went either unreleased or unfinished.
