Iskalde Grøss #1 [1988]
In "Den siste olje!", two restaurant owners welcome a third partner eager to transform their roadside diner into a booming success. When his vision leads to a new menu and a flashy rebrand as the "Chicken Coop," their ambition turns to greed—and then to murder. After setting his house ablaze, they think they’ve silenced him, but the man returns, burned and vengeful, to serve a twisted feast of his own.
In "Brønnen med det rare i!", a desperate man, unable to afford to marry the woman he loves, takes a deadly shortcut by murdering a wealthier rival and hiding the body in an old well. When he returns to retrieve a stolen diamond ring, the well’s dark secrets stir—just as the corpse’s grip locks onto his ankle, pulling him into the depths.
In "Veggen," a tense marriage unravels when Neal's wife Clara becomes obsessed with their cat, Snooky, to the point of neglecting her husband. After a tragic accident leaves Clara dead and Neal convinced he killed her instead of the cat, he makes a desperate decision to hide her body in the cellar. But as guilt and paranoia take hold, the weight of his secret begins to crack his mind—especially when Snooky seems to know more than it should.
In "Førstemann til kverna," a man’s desperate attempt to hide the aftermath of a violent act takes a horrifying turn when his newly installed garbage disposal is misconnected to the water supply. When a friend reaches for a drink, the tap unleashes a gruesome flood of his wife’s remains—proof that some secrets are impossible to flush away.
In "Drømmer!", a man haunted by his own visions finds fleeting power in the opium den, where dreams seem to shape reality. Each night, as he slips into darkness, the dreams of his family—first his wife, then his son, and finally his daughter’s abusive husband—come tragically true. When his daughter is executed for a murder she didn’t commit, Chen is left broken, forever trapped in the haze of the den, where the line between dream and doom has long since vanished.
In "Til død ...," a grieving husband, Steve, is shattered by the death of his wife, Donna, only to be offered a terrifying second chance by his loyal servant, Jebco. When Jebco secretly exhumates Donna’s body and performs a voodoo ritual, she rises again—but not as she was, her form slowly decaying with each passing hour. Steve’s joy turns to horror as he watches her deteriorate, and in desperation, he takes his own life. But Jebco, ever devoted, uses the same dark magic to resurrect Steve as a zombie, binding them together in undeath—forever with the love he lost.
In "Flat fortjeneste!", a ruthless developer named Hornsby pushes a corrupt city council into approving a road through a cemetery—using blackmail to silence their secrets. When the council’s car is found abandoned, its surroundings eerily paved over, the state troopers uncover a chilling truth buried beneath the new asphalt.
In "Dødsbra forretning!", a greedy undertaker who’s always charged too much for his services finds himself on the wrong end of his own scheme when a car crash leaves him paralyzed—only to be buried alive by his unscrupulous partner, who uses the very tricks learned from past clients to defraud the estate. The story unfolds with chilling precision, turning the undertaker’s own expertise against him in a grim tale of greed and retribution.
