A boy named Harry imprisoned by suburban
cannibal tells her three horror stories -- about
a walking mummy, a supernatural cat, and a vow
made to a gargoyle -- to stave off being served
as a main course. Good production values. King's
is based on a short story named "The Cat From
Hell" which originally appeared Twist of the
Tale, an horror anthology about cats.
