Episode 0008 "Cold Storage"
Original Story by Ian Martin, Directed by Himan Brown, Host: E.G. Marshall
I am a man normally filled with the milk of human kindness, but prepared, I'm afraid, to curdle your blood with a tale not of life and death, but rather death and life. I offer you one small comfort. It could hardly happen today. But in the last century, on the old Montgomery estate in Maryland, in the great dark rambling house called Westerly, it was easier to be marked for death than in this one.
Some ghouls robbing a grave. Many years before, Buford Montgomery found himself engaged in essentially the same activity, where every bit is shocked when the corpse whose rings they were tearing off suddenly sat up, alive. An epileptic seizure in other times could counterfeit death. The ghouls, of course, had a recourse. They ran away. Buford Montgomery has to stay and face his problem.
