The stories

“Swamp Spirit”

In the "remote bayous of southern Louisiana" they tamper with a serum for human longevity, accidentally releasing an evil spirit. When the spirit goes for the girl, it gets destroyed.

“The Vengeful Phantom”

Many years after his murder, the ghost of the victim returns to kill the wrongdoer.

“The Mummy”

The mummy of king Ramzu comes alive and wants only one thing: to be joined in death with his beloved Oaana. He abducts the mummy of his beloved queen, flees into the Egyptian jungle (?), fights off lions and a pesty police officer. In the end he finds his peace, witnessed by a girl reporter. "Can't print the story... who would believe me?".

“Picture a Nightmare”

A night guard at the museum is dragged into a painting presenting a door into a dimension of evil. He can fight his way back to the real world and manages to destroy the picture.
