Vault of Horror #2

In "The Dead Will Return!", the Vault-Keeper warns of a chilling tale where a couple’s desperate attempt to hide a body spirals into a nightmare—each time they dispose of the corpse, it washes back ashore, relentless and impossible to escape. As the lighthouse grows silent and the sea seeps into the floor, one of them begins to climb the stairs, fleeing something that won’t stay buried. When the light goes out and a scream echoes through the tower, the truth of what’s waiting at the top becomes terrifyingly clear.

In the shadowed halls of Harkley Heath, the last heirs of a cursed bloodline gather to claim their inheritance—only to learn the fortune goes to a cousin they’ve never met. When the brother and his nephew conspire to eliminate Miss Sybil with the same morphine that killed their uncle, they think they’ve silenced the past. But death, it seems, doesn’t keep its promises.

In "Island of Death," pilot Steve Crane survives a crash on a remote island, only to stumble upon a towering castle where he’s taken in by the enigmatic Count Cabeza. After a lavish meal, the Count reveals his chilling collection of animal trophies—and his unsettling plan to test his mettle against a different kind of prey: a man.
