Tales from the Crypt #28

In "Bargain In Death!", two medical students, Mel and Sid, desperate to earn their final anatomy credit, strike a grim deal with a gravedigger and a handyman to steal a corpse from a freshly dug grave. But the body they’re after is no ordinary dead man—he’s a man whose friend has orchestrated a deadly ruse, using a drug to fake death so the insurance payout can be stolen. As the students dig into the night, they unknowingly become part of a scheme far more sinister than they imagined.

In "Ants in Her Trance!", the Vault-Keeper recounts a chilling tale of deception and revenge: a hypnotist, driven by jealousy, manipulates his wife into a trance with a single command—then uses her own death as a weapon. When his new lover’s guilt surfaces at the grave, he tries to reclaim control with the old trigger phrase, but the dead woman’s return is far more terrifying than he imagined.

In "A-Corny Story," the Crypt-Keeper spins a tale of bitter revenge from the shadows of Haiti, where an elderly man, wronged by ageism, seeks dark justice through a voodoo curse. With a tree that grows in reverse, he sets in motion a chilling transformation that unravels his former boss from manhood to infancy—and beyond.
