"Gray Matter": During Hurricane Charlie, a group of townspeople are huddled together in a store to wait out the coming storm. They are met by local boy Timmy Grenadine (Christopher Nathan), who nervously asks for a case of Harrow's Supreme beer for his alcoholic father Richie (Jesse C. Boyd). When Timmy mentions that his father is "real sick" and doesn't want to go back home, the chief of police (Tobin Bell) and his friend Doc (Giancarlo Esposito) volunteer to check on him. While they travel to Timmy's house, Timmy explains to shopkeeper Dixie (Adrienne Barbeau) that after Richie's wife died, his drinking problem spiraled out of control. After drinking a "bad beer" one day, Richie gradually mutated into a gelatinous monster with a taste for human flesh. When the chief discovers the monster, he tries to put it down, only for the creature to absorb him and begin multiplying. Doc runs back to the store to report on what has happened as Dixie calculates on how long it will be before the creatures eventually take over the world. The hands of the multiplied creatures then break in through the ceiling and grab Doc as he, Dixie, and Timmy scream.

The Creep chuckles and shuffles into view on a red background. He proceeds to open a beer can and drink from it.

The quintet stroll throughout the neighborhood supposedly in search of candy, seemingly paying no mind that the adults in the neighborhood show fear and resentment towards them (as the Dragons themselves have been known to unabashedly insult others, burst into houses with the adults doing nothing to stop them, and the adults complaining that they do this every year). Their "route" reaches its climax when they discover Eddie Hathaway (Michael May) and abduct him, which his obviously insane and broken mother does nothing to prevent. Revealed to be ghosts, the Golden Dragons reminisce on their last day alive, where it is revealed that Eddie and his hoodlum friends locked them in their treehouse and set fire to it as a Halloween prank, causing the Golden Dragons to burn to death. Despite his pleas that it was his friends' idea and that no one was supposed to die, the Golden Dragons tie Eddie to the burned ruins of their treehouse and burn him alive, indicating they have done this to all the other gang members, whose families are the resentful adults they have visited.

At first, Blake and her family think it is all a show, but they soon discover that the show may not entirely be scripted as Blake's brother Eric later volunteers for an act, dies in the process, and is turned into a zombie. Eventually, the ringmistress Gayle Ross (voiced by Fayna Sanchez) states that this will be her final show due to her injuring her ankle, revealing that she is a prisoner of the staff before being eaten by the zombies.

Scott explains that in ancient times, Kringle (known then as "Kristofer") was commanded by God to battle Bob, one of His disciples who had been granted the ability to turn into a wolf to devour sinners. However, Kristofer had eventually become prideful with his killings and needed to be taught a lesson. When he lost the battle, Kristofer felt betrayed and defected to Lucifer, who granted him a pair of therianthrope-killing weapons known as "Satan's Claws". The therianthropes gun down a mob of men dressed as Santa who have come to kill them, then assume their animal forms to deal with any remaining disciples. Kringle himself then attacks the group. Ryan ends up saving them when he transforms, revealing himself to be Bob. This distracts Kringle, which enables Phyllis to decapitate him. Bob rewards the therianthropes with the ability to change at will and maintain control of their animal forms, but is unable to grant Phyllis' wish to become a werehippopotamus. Making a different wish, Phyllis is abruptly taken home by Lil Yachty, who promises to get her $100 million at the bank and make love to her all night.

Pam and Sam invite Morgue to the house. Morgue points out flaws in Pam's stories about their grandmother, challenging the belief that Old Lady Spinster was a homicidal genius. Morgue also uses sophisticated equipment to check the house and its various hidden passages for anything suspicious, determined to discover once and for all whether the grandmother was indeed deranged killer, or just a drunk who lived in a crazy house. During the investigation, Pam grows more and more unhinged as Morgue debunks her beliefs about her grandmother--to the point where she decides to repeat her grandmother's supposed crimes.

"The Right Snuff": Set during a period in the future (or possibly an alternate version of the 1960s) where space exploration has advanced significantly, Captain Alex Toomey (Ryan Kwanten) and Major Ted Lockwood (Breckin Meyer) are a pair of astronauts testing an experimental gravity manipulation machine aboard the space station Ocula. They are interviewed through a transmission by HNN reporter Ann Poole (Kara Kimmer). Alex is envious of Ted (who is considered the brains behind the gravity project) and lives in the shadow of his father General Michael Toomey (who happened to be the first man on Mars). Alex starts hearing strange voices and noises aboard the ship including hallucinations of his General Toomey. Mission Control representative Sandra (Gabrielle Byndloss) contacts the Ocula to tell the astronauts that the object which had nearly collided with them earlier was actually a probe sent by an alien race known as the Gorangi. Ted has been chosen by the President to establish first contact with the Gorangi. With his maniacal envy mounting and goaded by hallucinations of General Toomey, Alex traps Ted in the gravity machine's chamber, crushing him under the pressure until where his head explodes. When Alex then meets the Gorangi, they scan his mind, discover what he has done, and inform him that his decision has grave ramifications not just for him, but all of humanity. Ted was actually an ambassador to the Gorangi. By overusing the gravity machine to kill Ted, Alex has thrown the Moon out of its gravitational field and put it on a collision course with Earth, dooming the human race to extinction. As he is transported back to the Ocula, Alex watches the footage of his murder of Ted broadcast on HNN as jeers are heard in the distance. As a tearful Ann attempts to respond to the footage, she and Alex witness the Earth and the Moon being destroyed.

When Linus discovers that her building has lead pipes despite the fact that children live in it, Linus tells Victoria that he can't fix lead pipes and needs to report the health violation to city hall, but she still forces him to work on finding the root of the problem under the threat of having his business shut down. Desperately needing financial support to repair the damage his deceased brother had done to the plumbing business, Linus is forced to agree to her terms. After doing some digging, Linus discovers that the source of the problem is a drain clog (named by the Creepshow issue cover of this episode as "Cloggy") that is not only sentient, but is also incredibly fast and has an appetite for human flesh as it bites Linus' hand. When one of the tenants named Janet (Selena Anduze) finds out about Cloggy, she manages to save Linus from its wrath and round up the other tenants in a plan to utilize it against Victoria, who they have determined is the real problem with the building. Linus and the tenants, armed with Linus' tools, confront Victoria, leading her to stand over a storm drain. Cloggy's tentacles wrap around her leg and drag her down the drain, devouring her alive and regurgitating one of her bloodied heels.

"Within the Walls of Madness": Graduate student Zeller (Drew Matthews), currently incarcerated in a detention hall, describes to his appointed attorney Tara Cartwright (Brittany L. Smith) the set of circumstances that led to his arrest.

During a containment breach, he had witnessed a massive, tentacled monster emerge from a portal in the wall and kill his fellow graduate student Mallory (Brooke Butler). After being accused of killing Mallory himself, Zeller discovered that his superior Dr. Trollenberg (Denise Crosby) had been intentionally framing him for the murder as part of a plot to summon "The Old Ones", a race of ancient, primordial, god-like entities, to the Earth so they could reclaim it; she had discovered a strange, bone-like instrument that plays a frequency that opens inter-dimensional portals on an expedition, then gazed into one of said portals, went insane, and submitted to their power. Zeller was forced to kill her when she attempts to summon the Old Ones once again. After the story, Tara does not believe one word of the story, only seeking to get the publishing rights for it and become famous. On the day of his execution, Zeller is allowed to play the instrument Trollenberg found as a last request, proving that he was right about his claim as an Old One emerges and kills all those in attendance, including Tara. The story ends as Zeller warns the viewing audience that Old Ones "come in through the walls" as he laughs maniacally. The final shot shows Tara's book "Our Demons, Ourselves" on the ground.

"Night of the Living Late Show": Simon Sherman (Justin Long), an inventor in an unstable marriage, creates the Immersopod, a unique virtual reality machine outfitted with hundreds of cameras that acts as a home theater, allowing people to immerse themselves into and interact with the setting, plot, and characters of any movie they want. He uses the Immersopod to escape his rocky marriage to his wealthy wife Renee (D'Arcy Carden), by regularly inserting himself into his favorite movie Horror Express where he giddily interacts with the film's characters Alexander Saxton and Dr. Wells (Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing in archive footage) and begins an affair with the attractive Countess Petrovski (Hannah Fierman), who he's had a crush on ever since he was a child.

When she gets attacked by the film's alien antagonist while trying to report her affair to the Count (George Rigaud in archive footage), Renee discovers that the injuries she sustained in the film have carried over into reality. Utilizing this fact by Simon's next use of the Immersopod after offering him coffee, Renee gets her revenge by switching Horror Express to Night of the Living Dead.

This is actually a cover-up so that she can get Jack away from his gun-toting, militia-obsessed, secessionist father Hank (Ethan Embry), who she calls a terrorist and a Nazi. When a bottle of whiskey and a money clip are found in Bloom's luggage, Hank uses the opportunity to wrangle Bloom into his truck under the guise of taking her to the police, in spite of the fact Bloom claims he planted the items there. While Hank's lover Beth (Malone Thomas) watches Jack, Hank and his accomplice Connor (Lowrey Brown) kill Bloom offscreen, then bury her in the garden near the house, claiming that she was committed to rehab. Meanwhile, Jack finds a packet of seeds his mother had stored away and plants them in the garden, but not before he accidentally cuts his hand on some thorns and bleeds onto the soil. Jack discovers that strange flowers have bloomed overnight, flowers that seem to have hair in-between their petals and pistils in the shape of skulls. When Jack finds one of the farm's pigs tangled in vines and rescues it, the vines then grab Jack's arm and squeeze some blood out. The source of the vines is revealed to be Bloom, her dead body having mutated into a zombie/plant hybrid, who reveals what really happened to her son. Taking advantage of this, Jack tricks Beth, Hank, and Connor into being devoured by the monstrous Bloom. The next day, Jack takes Hank's truck to visit his mee-maw, taking some of the flowers that have skull-shaped pistils with him.

Once inside, the trio discover that the hospital workers have mysterious glowing green eyes. When they find Regina, they witness as she is given an "epidural" that triggers her to transform into her true form: a giant, extraterrestrial, wasp-like insectoid. Regina senses their presence after Carlos photographs her and she gives off a high-pitched frequency that is revealed to be hypnotizing the staff. The frequency also hypnotizes Carlos, allowing Regina to sting him in the forehead and kill him. This prompts Deborah and Trinice to stuff their ears with cotton to protect themselves from Regina's influence. After fending off the mind-controlled staff, Trinice plans to use Carlos' pictures to reveal Regina's secret to the world. Not wanting her favorite pop star's career ruined, even if she is a monster, Deborah turns on Trinice and willingly submits herself to Regina's hypnosis. Sometime later, Trinice is left stuck to the wall of a makeshift hive where the hypnotized Deborah sacrifices her to Regina's "children": large carnivorous grubs that feed on human flesh.

The crown jewel of the museum is a large collection of actual human skeletons used in various movies (including the skeleton that was used to produce the Creep from the original film) to be revealed to the public on opening day. Before long, Lampini's museum is visited by Bateman (James Remar), a rival prop collector and his late father's nemesis. Bateman informs Lampini's girlfriend Danielle (Valerie Leblanc) that the skeleton in Lampini's collection used for the original Creep was actually excavated from a local cemetery three days earlier and blackmails Lampini into letting him take one of the skeletons in exchange for not turning him over to the police. When a panicked Danielle ends up slitting Bateman's throat with Rosa Klebb's dagger shoes, she and Lampini end up flaying his body, submerging him in a vat of acid, and putting his skeleton among the others in the collection. That night, Bateman's skeleton reanimates and proceeds to kill a showering Danielle in the style of Psycho and later Lampini's assistant Burke (Lucas Godfrey). Before the skeleton can kill Lampini himself, the skeleton of Lampini's father (who became part of the collection himself as per his will) animates as well, dueling and ultimately decapitating his longtime rival. When the museum opens the next day, Lampini has placed Danielle's skeleton in the collection. Much to the disgust of a pair of visitors, Lampini and Danielle's moving skeleton proceed to make out. Nearby, the Creep appears and takes a selfie with his original self.

While performing a palm reading on Fawn, Boone slips Jackson a note reading "Something bad followed you in here." Later that night, while watching a movie with Fawn, Jackson witness a strange creature lurking in the darkness, observing him intently. The next day while at work, Jackson receives a blank fax message, discovers that the contents of his desk have been meticulously stacked while he wasn't looking, and nearly has a pair of dark, clawed hands reach out at him from a bathroom stall. Following these occurrences, Jackson attempts to warn Fawn that something may be after him, and while she doesn't initially believe him, she gives him a hand-sculpted lamb as a present. Making another trip to Boone's place, Jackson finds an old book that reveals that the entity following him is a familiar, a creature of darkness that attaches itself to a human host, and will do absolutely anything, even kill, to remain tethered to said host. Boone informs Jackson that familiars can't be exorcised, instead needing to be physically removed. He instructs Jackson to draw a sacred circle, place a piece of "innocence bait" (an item that was created without an ounce of negative energy) inside said circle, and trap the Familiar in a "blessed crate" when it comes to collect the bait. The first time Jackson attempts this, the Familiar mimics his dog and tricks him into letting it escape. Trying again with the lamb Fawn made him, the Familiar appears to be mimicking Fawn, who begs Jackson to help her. Not intending to be fooled twice, Jackson ends up pushing the crate into a lake, which drowns whatever is inside. When Jackson returns home, he finds the Familiar waiting for him with Fawn's water-logged corpse, revealing that it had swapped places with the real Fawn. The Familiar proceeds to possess Fawn's corpse, have her shuffle over to Jackson, and ominously tell him that she finally believes him as the story ends.

"The Last Tsuburaya": Many decades ago, Ishido Tsuburaya (Joseph Steven Yang), a misanthropic Japanese artist who reveled in the cruelty he would inflict upon humanity, would depict said cruelty in the form of gruesome paintings of ghouls and monsters. While most of said artwork has since been catalogued and become sought-after by collectors worldwide, Dr. Mai Sato (Gina Hiraizumi) of the Ōta Museum of Art and Mitch Duclon (Kenny Alfonso) recently come into the possession of a long lost Tsuburaya piece, originally hidden in the basement of a monastery at the base of Mount Fuji. Tsuburaya had it written in his will that on the 100th anniversary of his death, the painting (which has not been removed from its crate) would be relinquished to his surviving family, the sole descendant being revealed as store clerk Bobby Tanaka (Joe Ando Hirsh). Before Bobby can finalize his decision about the painting, immoral billionaire Wade Cruise (Brandon Quinn), accompanied by his artist girlfriend Gisa (Jane Fernandez), barges into the meeting and persuades Bobby into selling him the painting for $20,000,000. At a private unveiling at his penthouse, Wade removes the painting from its crate for the first time, revealing that it depicts a demon-like creature. After describing what it looks like through vague terms, Wade proceeds to burn the painting with a blowtorch to ensure that he is the only one who gets to see it. This act incites the anger and sorrow of Dr. Sato, who insisted the painting was to be hung in the museum and compares Wade's inhumanity to Tsuburaya himself. Later that night, Wade begins seeing the demon (Nate Andrade) from the painting throughout his penthouse. While Gisa believes that the sightings are a result of guilt accumulated from his actions and eventually leaves him, Wade confronts Mitch at his office asking what he did to the portrait that caused the demon attacks causing Mitch to have two security guards throw him out after Wade finds out that he can hurt the demon following another attack. When the demon attacks again, Wade manages to stab the demon in the stomach with a spear. To Wade's shock, the demon turns into Tsuburaya himself, who explains that his seething hatred of mankind had cursed him to remain trapped in the painting and become the very creature he created. In releasing him, Wade has ultimately inflicted the same fate onto himself as Tsuburaya disappears. As Wade begins turning into the demon himself, he impales himself on the spear. During a police investigation where Wade's body was taken away in a body bag and Gisa is being interviewed by a detective, one of Wade's paintings transforms into that of the demon having torn Wade apart.

"Okay, I'll Bite": Elmer Strick (Nick Massouh) is a meek pharmacist who has been serving jail time for euthanizing his terminally ill mother. Despite being a model prisoner during his incarceration one year later, he is denied parole after it is mentioned that he was in an altercation with fellow inmate "Polish Frank" Kowalski (Tony Demil), whom he apparently vowed to "get even" with. The falsified accusation is made by corrupt and abusive prison guard Butcher "Bunk" Dill (Jackson Beals), who happens to be the boss of a small drug ring within the prison. Bunk has kept Elmer from being paroled so he can gather supplies to cook opium with as he regularly works with the prison doctor. Elmer also happens to have a strong fondness for spiders, gathering a small collection of them that he has named after mythical figures and refers to as his only friends, including a rather large spider hidden behind a loose brick in his cell wall. A more easy-going and sympathetic guard named Willis (Glenn Magee) checks in with Elmer and delivers some mail to him, including an anonymous letter praising him for his practices and a parchment scroll from a library in Cairo. While feeding his spiders, Elmer discovers that the large one hiding behind the wall is actually a form of Sekhmet: Egyptian "Mistress of Dread" and that the scroll is the incantation for a sort of ritual involving her. When Polish Frank and another inmate named Bullet rough Elmer up for being late with an opium shipment, the former squishes one of his spiders as a warning. When he goes to squish another spider, it leaps out of the jar and bites Polish Frank in the eye causing Willis to have Bunk take Polish Frank to the infirmary. In response to the incident, the prison warden Director Poppler (Nic Starr) orders Cell Block C to be fumigated which would effectively kill his spiders while having its inmates divided amongst Cell Block A and D despite Willis stating that both cell blocks are already crowded. Though Poppler does apologize to Elmer on what has to be done. That night, Elmer performs the ritual detailed on the scroll in which his spiders surround him and Sakhmet sinks her fangs into his face. When Bunk enters Elmer's cell to assault him, he is soon captured by Elmer who has been transformed into a giant spider version of himself with his face illustrated on its abdomen. The next day, Willis, Poppler, and two guards approach Elmer's empty cell to discover Elmer's clothes and Bunk's corpse inside, suspended in a giant web and sucked dry.

An animated Creep is seen browsing his record collection and pulling out an album titled "Tunes of Terror". He puts the record on his turntable, which produces the sound of a siren singing.

"Stranger Sings": Longtime divorcee and gynecologist Barry (Chris Mayers) meets the kindly Sara (Suehyla El-Attar) at a coffee shop and offers to accompany her on her walk home, despite nearly bungling his opportunity to ask her out. After walking Sara home and preparing to leave, he suddenly becomes hypnotized by ethereal singing, prompting him to accept Sara's invitation to invite him inside. After getting some wine spilled on his pants, Barry heads to the bathroom to clean himself up, whereupon he discovers bloody clothes in the hamper and a partially eaten body in the shower. Attempting to leave, Barry is apprehended by Sara and her roommate Miranda (Kadianne Whyte), a centuries-old siren who have worked together to lure Barry into their clutches for a specific ritual they request he perform. The women explain that they want him to surgically swap their vocal cords, as Miranda has grown tired of being a siren and wants to be mortal, and Sara desires the power to have any man she wants. When Barry tries to flee and ultimately attacks Sara, Miranda transforms into her bestial form and aggressively blackmails Barry into performing the surgery by threatening to hypnotize him into plunging a dagger into his brain, which Sara would frame as a suicide, prompting Barry to agree to their terms. Despite mentioning he isn't qualified to perform such surgery (primarily because the women merely chose Barry as they thought he was a pathetic loser who no one would miss), Barry manages to successfully swap the women's vocal cords, to which Miranda graciously thanks him. Sara immediately uses her newfound powers to hypnotize Barry and attempt to devour him. Before she can, she is killed when Miranda stabs her repeatedly with a dagger dipped in a former victim's blood, living up to her promise to let him live if he completed the surgery. After sincerely apologizing for putting Barry through everything, Miranda enters a relationship with him, allowing him to accompany her to a vegan restaurant.

"Meter Reader": In a story that parallels the COVID-19 pandemic, the world has fallen victim to a plague that allows people to become demonically possessed. In this dystopian future, Meter Readers, a select group of people with natural immunity to the contagion, travel the world in the hopes of either curing or eliminating the infected, the latter of which can only be done by decapitating them and incinerating their severed heads in the special garbage trucks that arrived. One such Meter Reader, Dalton (Johnathon Schaech), travels to the home of Mrs. Jones (Samantha Worthen), hoping to cure her daughter Mercy (Reagan Higgins), but upon meeting her and scanning her with the Meter (a specially crafted wand that Meter Readers are able to use to detect if someone is possessed), soon discovers that Mercy's mother is the one actually possessed, and engages in a long and grueling battle with her. Three days later, Dalton's family, consisting of idealist wife Maria (Cynthia Devans), optimistic son Mikey (Boston Pierce), and cynical daughter Theresa (Abigail Dolan) become concerned when Dalton does not return home, remembering that his immunity needs to be reevaluated every 72 hours and that he gave them strict instructions not to let him in after 7PM. When Dalton arrives a few minutes after 7 and begs to be let in, Theresa, remembering that her little sister Madeline was one of the casualties of the plague, does not intend to do so and attempts to chop her father's head off. Taking control of the situation, Maria allows Dalton to stay in the cellar until they can get a doctor to test him. Eventually, Mikey wanders down to the cellar, the doors closing behind him. When Theresa attempts to save him, Maria knocks her unconscious. When Theresa awakens, she arms herself and descends to the cellar. She finds her father, who is not only mortally wounded, but who reveals that Maria and Mikey have become infected. The possessed duo corner Theresa, who is ultimately forced to slaughter them. After completing the task, Dalton expresses pride in his daughter and succumbs to his injuries, after which Theresa collects the Meter from his body. The next day, having become a Meter Reader herself, Theresa disposes of her family's remains and leaves home on her father's motorcycle.

While rummaging through a drawer of his grandfather's old keepsakes, Tim discovers the key to a strange armoire Joseph had acquired in Germany while serving in World War II; the result of raiding a collection of valuables stolen by the Nazis. Tim unlocks the armoire, but his grandmother Catherine (Shannon Eubanks) stops him from going inside, cryptically warning him that time can't be cheated, even if it can be tricked. Ten years later, Tim (Matthew Barnes) has been attending law school in the hopes of passing the bar exam so he can be a great lawyer like his father who died in a car crash aspired to be. Catherine has since died and has donated her husband's armoire to Tim as per her will, including the key for it. When Tim's roommate Saul (Jibre Hodges) invites Tim's crush Lauren (Devon Hales) and several others to the room for a party, Tim oversleeps on the morning of his exam. Remembering his grandmother's note, Tim steps inside the armoire, which has been constructed into a small makeshift study. He also discovers that time is able to mysteriously accelerate inside of the armoire, but also discovers that time is unaffected outside it. Tim utilizes the temporal anomaly inside the armoire for his own benefit, gaining endless amounts of time to study for and pass the bar exam. Over the next several years, he goes onto marry Lauren, buy a house, join a law firm, and become a father to his son Henry (Emerson Bennett). Despite all of the happiness that Tim has acclaimed, it becomes apparent that all of the time he spends in the armoire is physically and prematurely aging him, since he notices his hair falling out and suffers a mild stroke. Lauren is also concerned that Tim is putting much more time into his work than he is spending time with her and a now 9-year-old Henry (David Alexander Kaplan), warning him to stop working himself to death. When the firm continually demands Tim perform complicated tasks (having boasted about how good he is with time), Tim steps into the armoire again, but the key falls out of the hole in his pocket caused by some moths. When Henry finds the key himself and opens the armoire, he witnesses an elderly Tim (Garrett Zehner) collapse into a pile of dust. Shocked and curious as to where his father is, Henry steps inside the armoire himself, also forgetting the key. The armoire's doors close behind Henry as he continues to call for his father.

"The Things in Oakwood's Past": In this animated story, news anchors Serese (voiced by Fayna Sanchez) and Clark "Murph" Murphy (voiced by Andy Daly) report on the town of Oakwood, Maine which happens to have a peculiar and morbid history, primarily because of the widely known fact that the town's population mysteriously disappeared in 1821. Field reporter Mac Kamen (voiced by Ron Livingston) and his camera operator Carmella (voiced by Fayna Sanchez) are sent over to Oakwood to cover the story. Mac interviews town librarian Marnie Wrightson (voiced by Danielle Harris) who also happens to be president of the town's historical society. In her interview, Marnie reveals to Mac that she had discovered a collection of journals written by former historian Eli Lester. Utilizing coordinates found in the journals, she and the society have excavated a sinister looking "time capsule" with the year 1821 printed on it buried underneath the local park. Marnie's father Mayor Wrightson (voiced by Mark Hamill) plans to open the capsule before the townspeople during a festival to be held on the 200th anniversary of the day the population disappeared. While presenting a class full of children (all voiced by Kate Thulin) a slideshow of evidence that there was another disappearance of the population in 1621, the slides transition into villagers being mutilated. When Marnie, Mac, and Carmella inspect the capsule closer, they discover a series of primitive illustrations that relate to another disappearance back in 1421, revealing that the disappearance of the population has been a repetitive occurrence caused by a mysterious, malicious entity. They are caught by Deputy Anton (voiced by Andy Daly) who takes them to see the mayor. As Marnie tries to explain to her father that the entity is going to return on the anniversary of the disappearances, he has Anton escort her out. On the day of the anniversary as Mac reports on the scene, Mayor Wrightson prepares to open the capsule. Suddenly, Marnie hurriedly arrives and reveals to everyone present the true story of Eli Lester's journals: Lester's daughter had been murdered by a town elder who was released from jail through means of bribery. As an act of vengeance, he persuaded the town council that they needed what was inside the capsule (previously marked with the year 1621) to keep the 200 year curse at bay which caused the 1821 disappearance in the first place. As Mayor Wrightson had already attempted to open the capsule, he tries in vain to keep it closed while ordering Deputy Anton to get his daughter away from Oakwood. As Marnie is loaded into the squad car, she reveals to Mac that the "capsule" is actually a cage. The capsule then bursts open, unleashing an army of demonic creatures that proceed to slaughter Mayor Wrightson, Mac, Carmella, and all others present. Deputy Anton drives away with Marnie when one of the creatures attacks the car. Marnie is forced to take the wheel as Anton shoots at the creature only to have his torso slashed off. The police car crashes into a tree, causing Marnie to fly through the windshield and knocking her unconscious. When she regains consciousness, she encounters the creature and desperately crawls away from it, apologizing and insisting she didn't know. The rest of the demonic creatures show up, but are forced to let Marnie live as they are unable to cross the town line. Instead, they return to Oakwood and fly back into the capsule. One of the creatures clutches Carmella's camera and descends back into the capsule where the massive demon entity from the illustrations smiles wickedly. Back at the studio, Serese and Clark are completely unaware of what really happened and end their broadcast. Meanwhile, the capsule manages to reconstitute itself as the date on it changes to 2021. The capsule then sinks back into the earth where it is ready to be reopened in another 200 years.

Noting that many of the drugs are illegal substances and that Mai is showing symptoms of drug withdrawal, Beau has Mai's mother detained in an interrogation room. While Evan has his cameraperson film Beau's interrogation of Mai's mother for his own political gain, it is revealed that by not taking the medication, Mai ends up transforming into a krasue. She proceeds to go on a bloody rampage, devouring all the citizens inside the office. Upon hearing the commotion and discovering the bodies, Evan and Beau end up having to put their political and ideological differences aside and work together to stop Mai from crossing the border. They manage to mortally wound Mai by hacking her body with an axe, then share a beer after reaching an understanding with one another. Meanwhile, Mai's heartbroken mother, handcuffed to the interrogation room's desk, manages to decapitate her self with a large shard of glass from a broken window. After she dies, Mai attaches her head to her mother's body, then bites her restrained hand off to free herself.

"A Dead Girl Named Sue": In a black and white story set in 1968 during the events of Night of the Living Dead, police chief Evan Foster (Christian Gonzalez) is intent on preserving law and order in the wake of the zombie invasion. He meets and attempts to disperse a vigilante lynch mob consisting of Joe Donovan (Bryan Brendle), the truck driver Carl Jenson (J.R. Rodriguez), Farmer Jeremy (Rey Hernandez), and other civilians who are after Cliven Ridgeway (Josh Mikel), a sociopathic criminal, vandal, rapist, and murderer who has wronged the townsfolk in numerous horrible ways. In the past, Cliven has always escaped legal consequences by boasting that he's the son of Mayor Ridgeway who has often helped him escape justice, but the lynch mob are all too eager to exact vengeance upon him under the guise that the law doesn't work anymore. Foster travels to Cliven's hiding place where he finds the corpse of an elderly lady named Edda who had supposedly turned into a zombie. Upon discovering Cliven and ducking the other zombies, Foster arrests him and drives him to the police station hoping to spare him from the lynch mob's wrath. Inside the squad car, Cliven calls Foster out for continually supporting the law, even when it is crumbling under the zombie attacks as well as vowing that the fact that the courts will never be open again means he will never get thrown in jail. Cliven does end up thrown in a holding cell inside the police station's basement where he is confronted by Foster and the lynch mob. When Cliven remains defiant in the face of the townsfolk he had continuously wronged, the citizens bring in the reanimated corpse of Sue Donovan, the young daughter of Joe whom Cliven had kidnapped, tortured, and killed. Sue's blue hair bows and red ring are the only things colored in this story.
