- A Christmas Haunting: After his divorce, Stephen (Kim
Sønderholm) spends his first Christmas alone in a house
provided by a friend of his, a house that is haunted by a few topless
ghost women. The more Stephen investigates the past of the hose
thoughthe more he comes to the realization that the house actually was
the headquarters of an especially brutal serialkiller. In the end, he
finds out the killer was actually himself ...
- Zombie Office: After returning to the office after a
vacation, Jacob (Jonathan Baker) learns his company has a new boss, a
boss who prefers zombies as employees - quite literally. And Jacob's
next on the zombification list ..
- Undone: Travis (David C.Hayes) hasn't been the same since his
daughter was killed by a pedophile. Then though his friend the Sheriff
gets his hands on the pedophile, and brings it around to Travis's
place to have a little revenge.
- Unchangeable: Jason (James Barclay) wants to have revenge on
the guy who killed his wife (Lene Storgaard), whom he believes to be a
homeless guy (Leslie Hinge) whom he and his wife injured n a nasty
hit-and-run accident. He finds the man, kills him, then gives himself
up to the police, but when the police investigates the crimescene,
there is nothing there, no corpse, no blood, no traces of a murder.
Jacob breaks down, and wakes up in a totally different reality where
he is a gunshot victim, his dead wife his doctor, and the homeles guy
the man who wants to kill him.
- The Psychomanteum: A young woman (Megon Kirkpatrick) more and
more loses touch with reality, and the medication she takes to
counteract this only throws her deeper and deeper into insanity. She
tries to at least remain master of the surreal world she has been
thrown into, only to realie her own psychiatrist (Colleen O'Donnell)
has long taken control of it - and her motives are not exactly benign
...

Just like the previous episodes of Horror Vault, this one
is a nice compilation of horror stories touching pretty much all the bases
from ghosts via zombies to surrealism. Sure, the film as a whole might
lack a common theme (aside from horror), but each episode is nicely told
and nicely directed and could survive on its own - and that's more than
one can say about many horror movies, right?
