Weird #7

In "The Evil Idol," two thieves break into the home of a collector of African black magic relics, killing his wife with a sacred sword—unaware that her husband has already begun his revenge. He sets a deadly trap by hiring them to steal a jewel from an eight-armed idol of Ranu, knowing full well they lack the amulet needed to survive the idol’s wrath.

In "The Dead Live," a man wrongfully executed for a crime he didn’t commit awakens in a sinister laboratory, revived by a corrupt undertaker who claims to have saved him. Bound by a drug dependency and forced to carry out deadly orders, the resurrected Lester Paley must confront the truth behind his false death and the man who orchestrated it—before he becomes a monster he never was.

In "The Murder Pool," a bitter and cruel man named James Gorse takes sadistic pleasure in his custom-built swimming pool—filled not with water, but with a deadly red acid that dissolves flesh. He lures those he despises into the pool, reveling in their agonized demise, until his wife, pushed to the edge, takes a gun and ends his reign of terror. His corpse tumbles into the pool, and the acid begins to work—just as it did with his victims.
