Luna is revealed to be a member of a race of shapeshifters and tries to escape her past by living with humans. Sam discovers Luna's secret and tries to help her, but it's already too late.

The third story features a group of ghouls who are trying to find a new source of food since the humans in their village have run out. The ghouls' leader, Eramus (played by Vincent Price), offers them a new source of food but at a price. The ghouls agree, only to find out that the new source of food is not what they expected.
