The narrator is hired to write a wide-scream horror movie. To his delight, he learns that a boyhood friend has been signed to create the most dreadful monster in film history. Searching for inspiration, the buddies visit a cemetery across the street from Maximus Films. Abruptly, the body of a long-buried mogul passes in review. Is it an apparition? What about the hideous beast that...
