Description
Summary:	The black cat: A wealthy but embittered matriarch makes a deathbed recovery only to be murdered by someone in the greedy clan gathered for the reading of her will. When the family learns that nobody receives a penny until the very last of the old lady's multitude of beloved cats perish, both cats and people start turning up dead. Man made monster: A scientist experiments with a carnival performer's immunity to electrical shock and creates a monster able to kill with his touch. Horror island: A treasure-making scheme ends up deadly for a group of people stuck in a seemingly haunted castle with a killer known only as "The Phantom." Night monster: Kurt Ingston is a helpless cripple due to the incompetence of three doctors. He invites them to visit him on the pretext of donating money. Also arriving are Dick Baldwin and Dr. Lynne Harper, who has come to assess the mental health of Ingston's daughter Margaret. When the first three doctors are found murdered, Baldwin has to solve the murder mystery, especially since he has fallen for the potential fourth victim, Dr. Harper. Captive wild woman: A mad scientist transforms an ape into a beautiful woman, then turns her loose at the circus. She blends in, becoming an animal trainer who wields strange powers over her lions and tigers. She even falls in love with a fellow trainer. Tragedy strikes when her jealousy turns her back into an ape ... and a killer.
