Synopsis: A contractor blackmails a dirty mayor to get his road plans approved by the town council. After greasing a few more palms, the plan is approved. Sure, there's a cemetery right where the road's going to go, but moving bodies costs too much. They decide to simply build right over the graves. But, while inspecting the progress of the roadwork, the mayor, councilors, and contractor find out that the dead will have the last word. The men are found in their car the next morning, squashed flat by a steamroller.

Synopsis: A man is suffering from a split-personality, and nothing seems able to cure him. Psychiatry doesn't help, and neither do drugs. In desperation, he visits a voodoo priest, who fashions a voodoo doll of his patient. The priest then plunges a needle into the "bad" side of the doll, hopefully "killing" the rift in the man's mind. It works, too! An unfortunate side-effect is that the left side of the man's body was also killed, and has become a rotting corpse.

So, when Stanley returns home one night, Bernice decides to mount a trophy of her own up on the wall.

Willy uses a device to propel himself into the fourth dimension, where he hopes to determine the blob's weak point. Minutes later, the device explodes and Willy reappears. He's dead, with a look of horror frozen on his face. On the upside, the blob seems to have been killed, as well.

One night, with Hannah rapidly approaching, Roger transforms Sally into a statue to escape a compromising situation. In a rage, Hannah shatters the statue and leaves. Roger frantically reassembles the statue and reverses the process, returning Sally to human form. Oops. It appears he missed a piece. Yuch.
