When he takes his own life, Jebco ensures their bond lasts beyond death by reviving him in the same cursed form.
In "Hook, Line, and Stinker!", Bernice, weary of her fiancé Stanley’s endless fishing trips and the ever-growing menagerie of mounted fish, decides to follow him one Saturday morning—only to uncover a shocking betrayal. What starts as a quiet pursuit turns into a chilling plan when she realizes her wedding day might not be the happy ending she’d imagined.
In the shadowed mouth of a dark cave, a desperate posse faces a creature that has slaughtered ten of their own, leaving only bone.

In the quiet, uneasy town where everyone keeps their distance from the man in the brass hearse, curiosity turns to dread as children watch Lionel drive past, his back seat veiled by a heavy curtain. When a pair of fugitives seek shelter at his isolated cabin, they don’t realize they’re walking into a nightmare—Lionel isn’t just alive, he’s something far more unsettling, tied to a corpse that refuses to stay buried. The truth behind the curtain is one of blood, betrayal, and a bond no grave could break.
In "Two of Kind!", actress Willow Dree and fellow star Brad Phillips flee the relentless glare of cameras for a secluded skiing trip—only to be trapped in a remote cabin by a sudden blizzard.

When rescuers finally reach the cabin, they find a scene that defies explanation.
In "A Grim Fairy Tale!", a once-peaceful kingdom descends into dark chaos when the royal couple, a pompous King and Queen, decree that killing rats is now a capital offense—after learning their beloved pet white mice are related to the vermin. With the townspeople furious over the royal decree, their rage boils over into a brutal reckoning, culminating in a horrifying reversal of power as the very creatures the royals sought to protect turn on them in gruesome fashion.
In a distant castle, a lifelong apprentice watches his master ring the royal bell on special occasions—never once allowed to take the hammer himself, not even after decades of service. When the old bell ringer is finally ordered to ring the bell all day on the Queen’s birthday, the apprentice’s long-held desire erupts in a moment of violent desperation. Just as the King enters, the apprentice strikes, killing his master with an axe—only to find himself bound to the very bell he sought to claim, his body becoming its clapper.
In "The Chips Are Down!", Sigmund, Henning, and Field are thrust into a high-stakes gamble when a government contract promises fortune through a massive production of wooden discs. As the partners celebrate their new deal, a secret plan begins to unfold—one built on deception, greed, and a rigged poker game that leaves one man dead. But when the night brings a chilling return from the grave, the consequences of their betrayal come roaring back in a way no one could have foreseen.
