"Cool Air" - Dr. Juan Munos (a sturdy and sympathetic portrayal by Henry Darrow) suffers from a rare disease that forces him to live in isolation in a refrigerated apartment. Complications ensue when Manos falls in love with Agatha Howard (a fine and appealing performance by Barbara Rush). Director Jeannot Szwarc ably crafts a haunting melancholy mood. Beatrice Kay lends amusing support as cranky landlady Mrs. Gibbons. This excellent adaptation of a touching and tragic H.P. Lovecraft story packs a strong emotional punch.
"Camera Obscura" - Pernicious miser William Sharsted (well played to the detestable hilt by Rene Auberjonois) finds himself trapped in a nightmarish alternate dimension by eccentric inventor Mr. Gingold (a pleasingly quirky turn by Ross Martin). Director John Badham presents a flavorsome period atmosphere and milks the hellish other world for maximum creepiness. Moreover, it's a pleasure to watch the hateful Sharsted get his just nasty desserts.
"Quoth the Raven" - Still yet another dopey comic short with a lame punchline.
