- Poor Joseph has just been murdered by his wife on Christmas Eve. When their daughter, Carol, hears the commotion, she thinks it's Santa Claus arriving, but her mother tells her Santa hasn't been by yet. As the woman prepares to dispose of her husband's body, she overhears a radio broadcast about an escaped maniac who is running around dressed like Santa. Then, she hears a knock on the front door and, sure enough, it's the killer. She hurriedly locks the doors, and begins barricading the house. But, Carol heard the knock, too. And what kid can say "no" to letting Santa into the house?

- Synopsis
- Professor Burton is leading an expedition to an Egyptian archaeological dig in search of a vanished earlier group. They locate an ancient tomb and enter, only to have a panel close behind them, trapping them inside. Hieroglyphics tell the story of the Sphinx’s curse, but Burton thinks the disappearances might have simply been greedy workers grabbing loot and running off. Then, members of the current expedition begin vanishing, leaving pools of blood behind. Finally, the remaining members reach the heart of the tomb, where they learn that the Sphinx may not be totally mythological, after all.

A jealous Helen gives Joyce sleeping pills and takes her place at the pageant, which she wins, as planned. Upon returning home, Helen realizes she had given Joyce too many pills and killed her. Staging it all as a suicide, Helen then returns to the pageant headquarters to claim her prize. But, those undertakers are sticklers for details. They insist that "Miss Corpse" must be an actual corpse.

- Synopsis
- Billy was born blind, but his mom takes good care of him. Eventually, Billy's mom marries Jed, a nasty, abusive brute. Jed constantly mocks Billy's blindness and finally rips the eyes out of Billy's teddy bear, claiming it's more fitting for Billy's toy to be as blind as he is. When Billy's mom gets sick and dies, Jed flies into a fury and hits Billy hard. The next morning, Jed is found mauled, as if by a wild animal, possibly a bear. And Billy? Well, after being hit, he can see just fine. There are no blind people in Heaven.

- Synopsis
- The first manned mission to Mars is a success! The crew disembarks and soon finds signs of intelligent life. They enter what appears to be a museum and chance upon an exhibit depicting a conflict between a blob monster and a human being. They're amazed the Martians so closely resembled Earthmen! Further investigation, though, leads them to discover that the "museum" is actually a movie theater; the exhibit was actually a movie poster depicting a heroic Martian versus a hideous monster. Unfortunately for the astronauts' sensibilities, "hideous monster" refers to the human being.

- Synopsis
- Melvin receives an unexpected package in the mail. It turns out it was actually meant for someone else, who lives 1000 years in the future! The package contains a dehydrated "Harem Kit"; just add a few simple ingredients and there'll be five beautiful women who will fall in love with the first man they see. Unfortunately, the measurements for the ingredients are in future units, so Melvin has to guess. Sequentially, the first four women turn out too fat, too thin, too short and too tall. The fifth turns out right, but ends up seeing the building superintendent first.

- Synopsis
- Several men are abducted by an alien that resembles a centaur with the head of a skeletal horse. The alien assures them they won't be harmed, and that they are invited to the alien home planet. After being presented with a sumptuous feast, the men lose their suspicions and dig in. At the end of the voyage, a beautiful woman enters the room and asks the men to follow her through a door. But, one of the men, a rancher, realizes what's happening. On Earth, ranchers use a cow to lure bulls into the slaughterhouse. Yep, the men have been fattened up pretty good, too.
