To delay his demise, the boy reads her stories from a book she has given him: ‘Lot 249’ about a murderous mummy, ‘Cat from Hell’ about a fatal feline and ‘Lover’s Vow’ about an artist with a deadly secret. Inspired by the TV series., A paperboy is captured by a witch and tells her 3 short stories to distract her from eating him. The stories feature a stalking mummy, an unkillable cat and a witness to a bizarre murder. Segment “Lot 249” is based on a short story by Arthur Conan Doyle, and “Cat From Hell” is based on a short story by Stephen King., A mixed bag of three horror stories based on the works of Stephen King, Arthur Conan Doyle and Michael McDowall., Four short horror stories from the “masters” in the field.
