"Method for Murder": A hack novelist (Denholm Elliott) encounters a strangler (Tom Adams) who's the villain of his books, leading his wife to question his sanity. "Waxworks": Two men (Peter Cushing and Joss Ackland) are obsessed with a wax figure of a woman from their past. "Sweets for the Sweet": A little girl with a stern, widowed father (Christopher Lee) displays an interest in witchcraft.

Adam Westing: Ingrid Pitt plays an actress who plays vampires and then turns out to be one for real.

Apple of Discord: In "Waxworks", the wax figure of Salome causes all men to see it as the woman they most desire. This causes problems as Philip and Rogers had both been in love with the same woman, and both see it as her.

Inspector Holloway from the Framing Device is such a dick that it’s hard to feel bad for him when Carla kills him for killing Henderson.

comment
Actor Allusion: Paul Henderson (Jon Pertwee) is describing the old horror films he loves, and mentions Dracula, but quickly adds "the one with Bela Lugosi of course, not this new fellow". The new fellow he is referring to is Christopher Lee, who also stars in the film. Among the photographs in the frame of Paul Henderson's mirror is one of Pertwee driving "Bessie", the car he drove as the Doctor.

Subverted by Henderson, who turns out to be a Jerk with a Heart of Gold undeserving of his fate.
