The Magister

Jessie Vasquez wants to be a Hollywood producer. Her weakness for trashy, obscure flicks brings her to the door of legendary horror film maker Kurt Kindel. His move from the relatively conventional to the increasingly strange was accompanied by a startling and unexplained improvement in the gruesome special effects on screen. However, Jessie is here for one film and one film alone - The Magister, infamous among horror movie geeks as the most terrifying film ever made. When it was first screened people died from outright fear when watching it. Paying out much of his fortune to cover up the truth, Kindel withdrew the film and ordered all the negatives to be destroyed. Jessie plans to use all her cunning wiles to convince him to complete it - thus making his big come-back and of course, her name. Behind Kindel's door, Jessie finds a crumbling, gloomy mansion. Kindel has clearly been cut off from the world for decades. In Jessie's company, however, he gradually becomes rehabilitated. He's

Murder Me

Harry Nagra learns that he has an incurable disease. Having nursed his parents, he decides he'd sooner go quickly. The trouble is he can't commit suicide - his life insurance is invalid if there's any suspicion that he took his own life. He decides to solve the problem by finding someone to murder him and approaches a company called Anything Goes - their motto is ""You name it, we'll do it. No exceptions."" Harry meets G.R. who seems more than willing to undertake the task. They set a date and draw up a contract, though the specific nature of the service to be rendered isn't described. Weeks pass, Harry is apprehensive but resigned to his fate. The day before the agreed date he learns that there's been a misdiagnosis - he's in perfect health. He immediately tries to contact G.R. to cancel the contract and even goes back to the Anything Goes offices. But to his horror there's no trace of G.R. or the company. Does Harry have any hope of saving himself or is his fate irrevocably sealed?

Cursed House

Recently sacked from his role as resident psychiatrist on Celebrity Jungle Jam, Ted is broke - more broke than his wife Sandra realises - and he needs money fast. He invites a group of old university friends to a remote country hall for the weekend. They think it's an all expenses paid trip to a luxury hotel. The reality is that he has brought them together with the intention of conducting an experiment. The plan is to see how these smug people deal with hardship while trapped in a primitive house far away from their creature comforts. The result? A foolproof new reality TV format that will net Ted a fortune… or so he hopes. Sandra is not pleased to hear about Ted's plan, especially when she learns that the house is allegedly cursed.

Nothing to Fear

Ray is a moderately successful writer of trashy horror stories and Colin is his idle friend who lives off him while simultaneously complaining about the rent that he's only theoretically paying. They live contented mundane lives sure in the knowledge that everyone is an idiot except them. Nothing could possibly ever surprise them and that's as it should be. When Ray develops writer's block and can't think of anything remotely scary to scare his 'idiot readers' with, there's a real problem that their cash supply may dry up. After reading a brochure Colin comes up with the idea of spending a weekend at 'the scariest guesthouse in Britain' - Guesthouse Fear. On arrival the place seems uninspiring with its spray-on cobwebs and hapless hosts, Mr and Mrs Pandemic, but as Colin and Ray soon find out, truly terrifying treats lurk behind every door.

Whacked

A group of friends, Paul, Janie, Trax and Hugh work together at a gaming company. They're frustrated with their boss and company founder, Doc who refuses to consider an extremely lucrative bid for the business which could make them all millionaires. While deciding what to do they play Swoozle Whack (the game using the Swoozle search engine in which one enters two words and wins if these match only a single web site). Paul finds a single site and tells the others he has won the game. As each of them checks the site individually they discover footage of themselves dying in a variety of horrible ways. At first they shrug it off - a joke someone is playing, a mock up… but then someone turns up dead, killed exactly as they'd seen on the site…

Geeky but unimaginative IT worker Darren inherits a mysterious sealed metal jar from a distant wealthy relative. Hoping for coins, property deeds or a work of art, Darren is disappointed and not a little grossed out to find that the jar contains a human brain, floating intact in a strange preservative fluid. Some research reveals that the brain and jar belonged to an even more distant relative, one Dr. Heinrich Hunsecker, an eccentric 18th century scientist, surgeon and inventor. To the dismay of his long-suffering girlfriend Jane, Darren decides to keep the brain-jar, as it's ""cooler than a lava lamp"". But Dr. Hunsecker's brain turns out to be more sinister than either Jane or Darren could imagine.

Vacant Possession

Rick and Jane have just bought a house in a leafy suburb. This is going to be the first real home Rick has had. He's made a mint through property development - he's done up endless houses, banked the cash and moved on. He met interior decorator, Jane only six months ago through work, and now they are a couple. They decide to do a loft conversion straight away. Rick thinks he's landed on his feet when a chance meeting leads him to hire a builder who worked for him years ago. So begins the familiar nightmare. The endless cups of tea, the out of tune singing, the radio blasting out. Worst of all, are the monstrous turds that one of the builders keeps leaving in their upstairs loo. However, things take a sinister turn when there's a nasty accident and Rick's unscrupulous business practices finally catch up with him.
