Pre-viewed for quality and the tape played great on my Sony deck. Spine label on cassette is intact assuring you of first generation quality. Cassette is pretty clean with a little dry sticker residue on the left endcap. Same on the box cover for those dry sticker residues and some rough front edges from shelf wear (see photo) and a little faded.

Out Of Print (OOP) in all formats and no longer being manufactured.

In the framing story, Betty (Deborah Harry of rock band 'Blondie') looks like any happy suburban homemaker to her unsuspecting neighbors, but behind closed doors, she's preparing to cook young Timmy for dinner. As Betty ponders the appropriate baking time and temperature, her dinner-to-be attempts to postpone his upcoming evisceration, by reading stories from her favorite book while locked in a dog cage:

LOT 249 from a story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is a standard tale of campus revenge, with an abused nerd (Steve Buscemi) getting back at his preppie tormentors using a reanimated mummy.

CAT FROM HELL, expanded from a sketch by Stephen King, receives the most elaorate treatment, as an underworld hitman is hired to kill a cat that is persecuting a crippled pharmaceuticals millionaire whose fortune is based on animal experimentation.

LOVERS' VOW by Michael McDowell has a depressed and unsuccessful artist that witnessses a murder by a Gargoyle who lets him live on the condition that he never tells anyone. That same night he meets a woman (Rae Dawn Chong) who turns his life around but never talks about her background.

With a guessable final revelation it still manages to shock to this day and has good depth of characters.
