Elvira's Movie Macabre Season 2 Episode 9 Tales of Terror

In the ninth episode of season two of Elvira's Movie Macabre, viewers are treated to a hauntingly fun trio of horror tales in the aptly named, "Tales of Terror."

The first tale, titled "Morella," is based on a short story by Edgar Allan Poe and follows a young man returning to his ancestral home to reconcile with his dying estranged wife, Morella. As he works to nurse her back to health, strange happenings begin to occur in the house, leading to a gruesome revelation that stirs up questions about his own past.

The second segment, "The Black Cat," is also based on a Poe story and tells of a man's descent into madness and violence as he struggles with alcoholism and his beloved cat. As the plot thickens, what starts as a seemingly innocuous obsession with a feline friend spirals into a horrific series of events that send chills down the spine.

Finally, the third and titular tale, "Tales of Terror," is an original story created just for this episode and follows a magician whose tricks take a horrifying turn. Magician Montresor Hackett, played by Vincent Price, invites fellow illusionist David to participate in a new trick involving a bed of spikes. However, when the trick goes wrong, David is left paralyzed, and Montresor spirals into a terrifying obsession with his own guilt and the promise of redemption.
