As Fred scrapes away the black paint and peers into the mirror's depths, he discovers that some mysteries demand a terrible price, and his fiancée Jean may pay it alongside him. "The Mirror of Cagliostro" is a ghostly tale of obsession and malevolent enchantment that proves some knowledge is better left buried.
