Synopsis:

A science fiction writer sees glimpses of a monstrous creature that seems to be stalking him. After seeing the monster outside his window, goes to the bathroom for some medication when he hears the window break. When he returns to the room he beholds the monster is real and not a hallucination. He flees the creature, and the monster pursues him up to the building roof. The monster corners him and demands that he write stories of friendly aliens that look like him so that people will be influenced by his stories and unsuspecting when they launch an attack. The writer then reveals that he is in reality a monster from another dimension with designs upon Earth. The two creatures engage in a death struggle which the narrator offers the prayer will prove fatal for the both of them.

Synopsis:

An inventor attempts to develop a growth ray but fails by creating a process that can only convert organic material into stone. He hopes to commercialize his device by selling extremely life-like statutes. He puts an ad in the paper for a model with no friends or family so she won't be missed, then he trains the ray machine on the door so that when it is opened, the victim will be instantly transformed. He succeeds, but when he gazes upon who he has altered to stone, he falls in love with her beauty. He resolves to change her back with another application of the treatment, but neglects to consider the mirror behind her. The rays change her back to normal, but reflect back from the mirror turning the inventor into the world's most life-life statute.
