Anthology horror flick has three separate stories in between a wraparound story of H.P. Lovecraft (an unrecognizable Jeffrey Combs) opening the title book. The first (and best) story has a man inheriting a derelict old hotel and finding it has deadly supernatural powers. The second tale has a woman falling for a mad doctor who needs cold and spinal fluid to stay eternal. The last tale has a female cop going after a killer and ending up in a warehouse filled with nasty demons.

Tedious entry has nothing much new to offer with stories that get progressively poorer and lower-grade effects. Unimpressive to say the least.

Not released until 1996.
