提米，机智的男孩，他阅读的题材将救他一命。 　　安迪，他的命还操纵在于是否能看得懂三千年前的古文；霍斯福对于个人能力过于自负，终将自食恶果；普利斯顿及克罗拉，他们的幸福婚姻将因普利斯顿毁了十年前答允的誓言而将告结束；这部电影融合紧张与恐怖，是真是幻似是而非的感觉，随之而来将扭曲你的意识并逆入一个新的境界 。This is really three shorter movies, bound together by a fourth tale in which the other three stories are read. The first segment features an animated mummy stalking selected student victims; the second tale tells the story of a "cat from Hell" who cannot be killed and leaves a trail of victims behind it; the third story is about a man who witnesses a bizarre killing and promises never to tell what he saw, and the "in-between" bit is the story of a woman preparing to cook her newspaper boy for supper.
