"The Death Wish" features a woman who summons a ghostly, skeletal figure to kill her enemy Bernice, only to find herself haunted when the supernatural entity refuses to release her from his grip. "Scream in the Night" depicts a man driving a truck at night who is terrorized by mysterious glowing eyes surrounding his vehicle. "Death Tolls the Bells" presents a story inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Bells," set in a graveyard where a vengeful ghost confronts its killer and causes supernatural disturbances in a church.
Pilot Bruce Gordon survives a jungle crash only to be taken in by the natives of Winoka, where he learns of a hidden treasure—and pays a deadly price to claim it. Haunted by the vengeful spirits of his victims, he returns home, but the past refuses to stay buried.
A callous truck driver who finds sport in running down animals on the desert highway becomes haunted by visions of glowing cat's eyes and an unearthly screaming that only he can see and hear. As the phantom torment grows unbearable, Joe Brixton finds himself trapped between the manifestations closing in on him and the very real dangers of the road itself. "The Accursed" is a chilling tale of how those who prey on the defenseless may find themselves hunted in turn.
In the shadowed stretches of a lonely highway, the cruel truck driver Joe Brixton takes grim pleasure in running down animals—until one night, his cruelty turns inward. As he speeds through the dark, the world distorts: massive cat's eyes blink in the distance, and his grip on reality slips. Eddie Logan, a quiet witness to the chaos, watches in stunned silence as Joe Brixton vanishes into the night—only to be struck by a passing truck. The road stays silent, but the echoes of that scream linger.
A gunman on the run from the law finds refuge in a stranger's hidden passageway, but his newfound helper has a mysterious agenda in this twisted tale of betrayal. As they descend deeper into the darkness, the fugitive begins to realize his escape may have led him somewhere far more dangerous than the streets above.
Martin Bouchard stands over his wife's grave in a Vermont churchyard, reveling in a terrible secret—until haunting organ music draws him into the nearby church for a service like no other. What unfolds is a dark requiem presided over by infernal forces who know exactly what he's done, and they've come to collect what's owed. This 1954 horror tale channels the spirit of Poe's "The Bells" into a chilling account of macabre justice.
In 1896 Wales, mine superintendent James Cannon and his son Lloyd descend into a supposedly safe tunnel to prove their cowardly workers wrong—but they encounter something far more sinister than a simple cave-in lurking in the darkness. What the locals whispered about as the Black Monster is far more terrifying than anyone dared believe.
In "A Shroud of Vengeance," the tormented Abel Brendon—once shunned for his disfigurement—rises from the dead after a lightning strike, driven by a fury that turns his grief into a relentless pursuit of retribution against the townspeople who cast him out. As he storms toward the dam, seeking to unleash its waters, fate delivers one final, fatal strike.
Deep in a Central American jungle, prospectors Johnny and Duncan strike gold—but their partnership ends in betrayal when Johnny decides the fortune should be his alone. Haunted by what he's done, Johnny finds himself pursued through the jungle darkness by something far worse than guilt. Retribution, it seems, doesn't end with a grave.
