After his father is killed by a vampire, a chemist comes up with a plan to sacrifice himself so that others may live. He drinks a radioactive substance that may be traced by a Geiger counter and leaves a note for his brother detailing the plan to use the instrument to track down the vampire after he has drained the isotope blood. Unfortunately for his plan, the chemist's brother turns out to be the vampire.; Every generation, a madwoman is conceived on the night of her parent's wedding who follows the tradition of murdering her newly-wed husband with an ax in the same house.; Psychotic baseball players dismember a player from an opposing baseball team in revenge for his using poisoned cleats in a game and then use his body parts to play ball.; In this grim fairy tale an old king finds a young girl to marry and is deeply in love with her but cannot offer her the physical relationship she needs, so she takes a lover. Three court ladies who are very jealous of her find out and inform the king.
