Feature(s): The Crypt of Terror
Synopsis: Buck and Roy are two good friends gone bad. As a former pilot and bombardier pairing, they were accustomed to a well-defined division of duties. After the war, they went into business together and their relationship soured. Roy murders Buck and uses his old bombardier skills to drop Buck's body directly on the spot where the borders of four states meet. This way, the arguments over jurisdiction will delay his arrest indefinitely. But, dead or not, Buck still has a say in how things turn out for Roy.

With a chill, Gregg realizes he's being set up the same way and readies to defend himself from Harry. When a shadowy figure approaches him, Gregg shoots to kill, only to discover it was Edith that he shot. You see, it WAS a set-up. Harry wanted Edith out of the way, so he ensured Gregg would find the book and react the way he did.

Synopsis: Pop loves his son, Richie. But, Richie ends up in a shootout with another criminal and kills the other man. Richie is badly wounded, however, and Pop rushes him to the hospital where Pop is the resident repairman. While Richie is undergoing emergency surgery, Pop decides to take the blame for the other man's death by recording a confession onto a dictaphone. Richie ends up dying on the operating table and Pop is distraught that his false confession was all for nothing. What Pop doesn't realise until later, though, is that there was a power outage earlier and the dictaphone was inactive.

Synopsis: With the police in hot pursuit, a killer seeks refuge in an old lady's apartment. When a knock on her door comes, the killer holds a knife to her throat and coaches her on what to say when the people on the other side of the door ask her if she's all right. That was a big mistake, though, because the police soon barge in and capture the killer. How did they know he was there? The old lady is deaf!
