"Mask of the Devil" recounts a dark medieval tale of a manuscript discovered in a ruined castle, warning of the Devil's child born long ago whose tortured screams once echoed within its walls. "Through Wicked Eyes" tells of Bill Devan, an average man who encounters a witch at a street corner and is cursed with supernatural vision that allows him to see spectral figures; after glimpsing a tropical disease victim, he becomes obsessed with obtaining the man's body, ultimately meeting a grim fate when his scheme is discovered and he is struck down.
In "Flaming Horror," a man scarred by a fire he didn’t mean to start inherits a house where he encounters a lonely ghost—only to find his new life threatened by a man who wants him gone. When violence erupts, the ghost takes a stand, and the two unlikely souls find an unexpected peace.
In "Mask of the Devil," a cursed child born to the wife of an evil ruler is raised in secret, destined to seek vengeance against the father who abandoned him. As the demon's path collides with his father's, a deadly confrontation unfolds—one that ends in mutual destruction and a final, haunting act of rage.
In "Through Wicked Eyes," a man inherits a pair of strange glasses from a mysterious witch, only to discover they show him the final moments of anyone he looks at. When he sees his wife’s death in a photograph—run down by a taxi—he races home in a desperate attempt to save her, only to find himself caught in a horrifying twist of fate.
In "Return of the Corpse," a cunning policeman and a doctor team up to trap a graverobber, setting a chilling trap that turns deadly when the criminal’s own actions unleash a terrifying retribution. As the doctor seals the airhole in the coffin, the buried man’s limbs and head—unseen and unhinged—move with unnatural force to exact a gruesome justice.
