Episode 0055 "A Sacrifice in Blood"
Original Story by Milt Wisoff, Directed by Himan Brown, Host: E.G. Marshall
A pair of archeologists find a baby boy in an Aztec temple of evil. They decide to raise the boy - much to their regret.
It has been said that we are prisoners in a dark closet with small openings that on occasion admit some light. Small wonder that the demons who lurk in the deepest corners are more real to us than the sweet light of reason outside. There is so much evil in our world that light turns naturally to shadow Even the love of Stephen and Amelia Stampler for their son Michael is converted to suspicion in this dark closet.
And now it is time to turn to the macabre and nightmare world where there is no shortage of blood. Our tale opens on a pleasant enough note in a fashionable restaurant where Dr. and Mrs. Stampler are celebrating a special occasion. But I promise you it will end in true gothic horror.
