In "Voodoo Vengeance!", the Vault Keeper introduces a chilling tale of jealousy and supernatural retribution. When Caleb Standish visits an antique store seeking a gift for his wife Sally, the eerie proprietor steers him toward a voodoo doll crafted in her likeness—just as Caleb witnesses her with her lover, Don. After a heated confrontation, Sally hurls the doll in rage, only for it to shatter against the fireplace, its pieces vanishing into flames. And then, as Caleb stares in shock, something far more unsettling happens to Sally herself.
In the shadowed peaks of Transylvania, a mountain-climbing expedition led by guide Jan Bodzla takes a chilling turn when he warns the Smythe and Farnum families that their companion, Viktor Zorak, may be a werewolf. As the full moon rises and terror unfolds, the group is torn apart by a creature of the night—only to face a new, more horrifying threat as Bodzla’s final warning hangs in the air.
In "Rats Have Sharp Teeth!", Abner Tucker, the town’s self-proclaimed historian with an encyclopedic knowledge of its past, ventures into the graveyard one night to steal jewels from a corpse—only to be unnerved by a single rat, a creature he loathes above all others. When he later discovers Revolutionary War tunnels beneath the cemetery, he sees a chance to dig undetected, but soon finds himself trapped in a nightmare as swarms of rats begin to outwit his defenses, turning the underground labyrinth into a deadly trap.
