Original Story by Robert Newman Directed by Himan Brown Host: E.G. Marshall
Sit down and try to make yourself comfortable. Yes, it is quite warm in here, but don't worry about it. Because in just a moment, we'll bring you a tale that will chill your blood. A tale of black magic that may have begun centuries ago, but which takes place today. A tale in which one of the dark powers of the pit is released on the campus of a midwestern university.
Is there such a thing as black magic? The ancients thought there was. For centuries there were those who were willing to trade their souls for the power to call up and control the dark forces of the pit. To what end? Sometimes for power or wealth. Sometimes, as in this tale, to achieve eternal youth, eternal life. But, as we will see, there is always great danger involved. and the price is always high, and usually paid in blood.
Our spine-tingler begins in a large rambling house on the edge of the campus of a Midwestern university. A gray-haired woman, strangely shrunken but with intense gleaming eyes, sits in a chair in a sparsely furnished room, waiting and listening.
