The stories

“The Mystery of Lunablanca”

The castle of Lunablanca, Spain, is haunted by vampire countess Sinistra. An american news-photographer falls in love with her and discovers that the girl is not the vampire, but controlled by one. Love reigns supreme - once the real vampire is killed.

“The Ghost Who Stole a Body”

The "unmourned ghost" of evil Alexander Black is doomed to walk the earth forever, but he has a cunning plan. During heart surgery upon Dr. Anders, Black slips into his body and takes over. An indian colleague manages to extract the evil spirit again, so that Dr. Anders can return rightfully into his own body.

“Valley of the Scaly Monsters”

In the steaming Amazon jungle, "Creature from the Black Lagoon"-like creatures kidnap a woman from an expedition. They drug her and want to make her the queen of the lizard people. Her boyfriend intervenes and buries the creatures under an avalanche of rocks. (the movie came out three years later, by the way...)

“The Shrieking Terror”

A werewolf travels with a circus side show from town to town. The beast kills people who mistreat animals. Though framing the circus's freak, it's really animal trainer Rogers. The freak sacrifices himself and takes out the bad guy by hurtling him in a deadly embrace from a rooftop.
