- Summary:
- A man's intricate tattoos are the settings for an anthology of strange science-fiction stories.
- The Illustrated Man is fascinating vision of doom and danger based on classic short stories by futurist Ray Bradbury. A worker by the name of Carl seeks out the woman whom has tattooed his body. Meanwhile he meets Willie, good-natured drifter who can't tear his eyes from Carl's freakish illustrations. Felicia is the mysterious seductress who created the 'art' that curses its bearer and comes to life in a nightmarish trio of tales. Every tattoo tells a story. And every story ends in terror.
