Vault of Horror #7

In "Sink-Hole!", a lonely woman’s desperate bid for love takes a dark turn when her mail-order husband proves to be far older than promised. After she kills him and hides the body in their well, she finds herself drawn to the new health inspector, Rick Hudson—only to learn he’s already married and leaving town. When she returns to the well for water, her thirst leads to a shocking revelation.

In "Lend Me a Hand!", a desperate physician haunted by the loss of his hand after a tragic accident turns to a shocking solution—stealing a replacement from a drunk he encounters on a dark road. The Crypt-Keeper introduces a tale of medical obsession and gruesome consequence, where ambition crosses a line no man should dare to cross.

In "The Mask of Horror," Ken Anders visits a haunting costume shop, where the unsettling owner fits him with a mask and outfit meant to reveal his true self—a rotting corpse. Heartbroken when his fiancée refuses to attend the party with him, Ken dons the mask and heads out, where he’s drawn to a woman in a vampire costume. As their evening unfolds in the garden, the truth of her nature is revealed, and the night takes a dark turn. But when he looks into the still waters of a lily pond, something far more unsettling emerges.

In a town where everyone is overweight, a mysterious doctor named Perdo arrives with a miracle cure: a tiny capsule that promises rapid weight loss. Four willing patients take the pill and shed pounds instantly—only to die suddenly, their bodies wasting away as if from starvation. Six months later, Perdo returns in disguise, fleeing the townspeople who have uncovered his deception. Cornered in the cemetery, he seeks refuge in the mausoleum of one of his victims—only to confront something far worse than justice: a monstrous tapeworm, the true force behind the deaths.
