"Ghouls Castle" shows a woman confronted by ghostly apparitions demanding release from their graves. "Portrait of Death" follows photographer Johnny Fuller as he discovers a supernatural image in one of his photographs—a ghostly figure that proves to be a harbinger of doom, leading to encounters with the supernatural and a plan for revenge. "The Sea Witch" depicts sailors encountering a spectral sea witch aboard their vessel, resulting in terror and supernatural chaos on the high seas. Additional stories explore supernatural imprisonment and escape scenarios involving imprisoned characters facing mysterious and malevolent forces.
A team of scientists on an expedition in the Burmese jungle unearths the skeleton of a giant from an ancient civilization—a discovery that should cement Professor Smythe's life work. But when Joe and Katy decide to stage a photograph of the bones without permission, something goes terribly wrong, and the ancient remains begin to move with murderous intent. As the expedition faces a horror that defies explanation, Joe must venture into the dark jungle to rescue Katy before the creature claims another victim.
Johnny Fuller captures a photograph he shouldn't have—a lovely girl whose image conceals something far more sinister. When the Ghost Doctor Grimm arrives to investigate a series of impossible murders involving a vanishing dagger, the case leads him closer to a supernatural conspiracy involving revenge, a plastic surgeon's dark secret, and a woman who may not be quite alive. What Johnny's camera has captured could be the key to unmasking the horror behind it all.
Captain Diarno of the Saturna mocks the sea and dismisses tales of a legendary Sea Witch—a grievous mistake that draws down a supernatural curse in the form of a mysterious black fog. As the ship becomes trapped in an otherworldly haze, unable to be seen or rescued by nearby vessels, the crew descends into panic while the captain struggles to maintain control. The Sea Witch exacts her terrible revenge on the man who dared to scorn her.
Joanna stumbles upon a sinister castle in the woods harboring a terrible secret: Dr. Jamba and Mr. Barker are using electrodes to resurrect the dead, compelling them to serve a madman's scheme for world domination. When Joanna is captured and imprisoned, she discovers the horrifying truth behind the operation and must find a way out before she becomes the next unwilling recruit to their twisted empire.
