THE HUMAN MONSTER
The recent drowning deaths of five blind people are steeped in mystery and have Scotland Yard investigating.

CARNIVAL OF SOULS
A thrilling drag race turns into a calamitous tragedy when one of the racing cars, carrying three young women, loses control and soars off a bridge, plunging into the murky depths of the river below. Officials search the water for bodies but to no avail. The girls are thought to be dead despite the missing corpses, until one of the passengers, Mary Henry (Candace Hilligoss), staggers from the water. Without any recollection of the accident, Mary vows to go on with her life. But then a chilling apparition of a strange man appears to her with increasing frequency--and then there are the strange stretches of time when Mary becomes invisible to passersby on the street. Mary is desperate for answers, but nothing makes sense--especially her peculiar feeling that it all has something to do with the eerie, abandoned carnival on the outskirts of town. But when the sunken car is found and pulled from the river, nothing can explain why all three bodies are inside--including Mary's.

But no one has ever been able to crack the crazy doctor's cryptic codes and open the door. When the hopeful treasure hunters fail--as they inevitably do--Dr. Manetta leads them to his dark, dank dungeon of torture where he gleefully torments his captives until they expire.
