"Pamela's Voice" - Conniving weasel Jonathan (a typically sound performance by John Astin) finds himself haunted by the nagging ghost of his shrewish wife Pamela (sharply played with snarky aplomb by Phyllis Diller) who he murdered. The fierce rat-a-tat-tat dialogue exchanges between Astin and Diller gives this segment plenty of savagely funny sardonic bite. Nifty twist ending, too.
"Survivor" - An Allied ship in 1915 discovers a lone man (an intense and excellent portrayal by John Colicos) adrift at sea in a lifeboat who claims to be a survivor from the Titanic. Torin Thatcher shines as the hard-nosed disbelieving captain of the rescue vessel. Moreover, this story not only boasts a potent eerie atmosphere, but also delivers a strong moral message about the bitter karmic price one must pay for a cowardly act of self-preservation.
"The Doll" - British army colonel Hymber Masters meets his match in the form of a hideous and deadly doll. Director Rudi Dorn expertly crafts a spooky and unsettling mood. Williams handles the lead role well, with ace support from Shari Willis as concerned housekeeper Miss Danton and Henry Silva as the vengeful Pandit Chola. The doll looks quite creepy and scary. Best of all, this stand-out yarn even comes complete with a real corker of a surprise stinger at the end.
