"The Mummy Master" follows a man who discovers an ancient curse when a mystical case opens by itself, unleashing a supernatural force that cannot be stopped by bullets; he escapes a burning building with a girl named Sandra after the sorcerer Sarazin's spell is broken. "The Sorcerer" features John Stern, a scholar who answers a mysterious advertisement and is hired by a wrinkled old man possessing black magic powers to work on a dead man; Stern investigates a strange isolated house and discovers the old man's secret involves raising the dead. "Daughter of Doom" depicts a spy named Hugo Craig who sold information to both sides of a conflict; at the climax, trapped by a woman whose true identity he cannot discover, he is threatened with supernatural doom when she warns he has opened the doorway to Hades itself.
Bart Forde, a book collector, acquires a mysterious tome containing ancient magical formulas—only to have its obsessed former owner, Sarazin, move into his apartment building with two coffin-shaped boxes. When Forde discovers that Sarazin is using the book to animate mummies for a wave of supernatural crimes sweeping the city, he realizes he's the only one who knows the truth and must take action. Now Forde must confront the dark forces he's unwittingly set in motion before Sarazin's army of the undead grows unstoppable.
Twenty-five years ago, ballet star Lola Correll dazzled audiences in a skeleton costume at the Odeon Theatre—then vanished, leaving the venue cursed and abandoned. Now, dance director Tony Merlin and composer Wally Jablon have leased the old theatre to stage their new "Butterfly Ballet," with the talented young dancer Elaine in the lead, but their rivalry for her affections threatens to derail everything. When opening night arrives, strange and inexplicable events unfold that reveal the theatre's dark past may not be finished with them yet.
Desperate spy Hugo Craig is approached by a mysterious woman who promises him wealth and power—if he'll steal a legendary salamander cloak from a collector's mansion, an artifact said to grant control over Satan himself. Craig completes the heist but discovers too late that his benefactor is Shaithana, the Devil's own daughter, who orchestrated the entire scheme to claim the cloak's dark powers for her own sinister ambitions. What follows is a collision between a man with nothing left to lose and a supernatural force with nothing but time to reshape the world.
