In "The Demon That Devoured Hollywood!", a struggling actor named Jason Roland makes a desperate pact with a mysterious agent to skyrocket his career, only to find his rise to fame comes at a horrifying cost. As the makeup that transforms him into a cinematic monster becomes his permanent face, he's trapped in a role he can never escape—no matter how much he tries to tear it off. Barry Smith hosts this chilling tale of ambition, deception, and the price of stardom, with Charlie and Stella Houston caught in the web of Jason Roland’s unraveling fate.

In "Flight into Fear!", a young man named Johnny awakens on a stone gargoyle in a city park, only to be swept into a medieval realm where he’s transformed into a giant and must confront the evil demon Xzar. With the help of Princess Yrill and the mysterious Old One, he wields an enchanted sword to defend a land under siege—only to return to the real world, where he discovers his old wounds have vanished.

In "Time Out!", Richard and Dianna Mason are stranded in a storm, racing to reach Dianna’s dying uncle’s estate for his inheritance—only to take shelter in a haunted house that locks them in for the night. As the hours pass, their fractured marriage begins to mend, but when they finally escape at dawn, they discover seven years have vanished. The house, and the uncle’s dark experiments, may have given them a second chance—though the cost may be more than they bargained for.
