Synopsis: A man visits his sister in a small town where people get off the street and close up shop before sundown due to a recent spate of seventeen vampire killings, but scoffs at the idea as the work of a homicidal maniac as vampires don't exist. He is hungry since the restaurant he was in earlier closed down before he could order something to eat and so he goes for a walk after dinner. He comes upon the same restaurant that he was in earlier and it is open now. He enters the place to get something to eat, but ends up on the menu himself, for it serves as an after-hours eatery to the local vampires.

Synopsis: A man has voodoo dolls made as wedding cake figures in order to get a wealthy woman to marry him. He meets a younger woman, and so to remarry, places his wife's doll under glass so that she suffocates from lack of air. He keeps both dolls until the second wedding as he plans to use them on the cake, but the wife figurine is rotting since it now resembles the woman lying in the grave. The man throws it away, and settles into bed with his new bride, but it gets out of the trash and hauls itself up to the shelf where his doll is kept to push it off, breaking it into a thousand piece, while in the bedroom the new bride screams in terror.

Synopsis: Three archeologists, one with a bad heart (Munson), uncover the tomb of the 5th Pharaoh of Egypt with a large treasure. Two of them hatch a plot involving the Pharaoh's mummy in order to get the other's heart to give out, because they know that he will insist on turning over the treasure to the museum. The third man does indeed drop dead from fright from the Pharaoh's mummy, but the schemer pulls out a pistol and empties it into the mummy as he wishes to keep all the treasure for himself, but he can't understand why the mummy doesn't drop.
