Do You Dare See What Dr. Diabolo Sees?
Five people visit a fairground sideshow run by the sinister Dr. Diabolo
(Meredith). Having shown them a handful of haunted-house-style attractions, he
promises them a genuinely scary experience if they will pay extra. Their
curiosity gets the better of them, and the small crowd follows him behind a
curtain, where they each view their fate through the shears of the female deity
Atropos (Clytie Jessop).
In "Enoch", a greedy playboy (Bryant) takes advantage of his dying uncle
(Denham), and falls under the spell of a man-eating cat. In "Terror Over
Hollywood", a Hollywood starlet (Adams) discovers her co-stars are androids. In
"Mr. Steinway", a grand piano by the name of Euterpe becomes jealous of its owner's new lover
(Ewing) and takes revenge. And in "The Man Who Collected Poe", a Poe-collector
(Palance) murders another collector (Cushing) over a valuable Poe manuscript -
only to be avenged by Edgar Allan Poe himself.
