Three faces of fear

The framing is used in the almanac: Boris Karloff , who played in the second part of the ghoul, pronounces the opening speech before each episode. The final is decided in a humorous way: Boris Karloff, who is riding a horse, informs the viewer that the horrors are over. After that, the camera pulls back and it becomes clear that instead of a real horse a dummy has been used, and in the role of a forest there are branches with which people run in circles.
