Summary

• [Killer shrews]: People isolated on an island are menaced by shrews that, once injected with a serum, take on killing proportions
• [The brain that wouldn't die]: Dr. Bill Cortner is a brilliant young surgeon who experiments illegally with the bodies and minds of fellow humans. When his fiancee is decapitated in a freak accident, he tries to transplant her still living head and brain to another body
• [King of the zombies]: An American special agent, accompanied by his valet and an aviator, sets off in search of a missing US Admiral whose plane has crashed on a Caribbean island during World War II. As luck would have it, our heroes' plane also crashes and they are helped by a solicitous German physician whose wife is more than a little strange
• [Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde (silent film)]: Dr. Jekyll, an idealistic London doctor, has a weakness for experiments which take him to the boundaries of human consciousness and experience. When Sir George Carew, father of the girl Jekyll loves, accuses him of being afraid of temptation, he finds a drug which allows him to separate the evil side of his personality from the good; as Edward Hyde, he embarks upon a career of crime
