PLOT SUMMARY

Two stories originally written by Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling. In The Theater, a young girl goes to see His Girl Friday (1940) at the cinema but finds that she's watching scenes from her own life instead. A second visit starts to show her scenes from her terrifying future… In Where the Dead Are, Dr Benjamin Ramsey performs an appendix operation at Boston University in the 19th century during which the patient, O'Neil, dies. When he discovers that O'Neil had suffered from a skull fracture twelve years earlier, he travels to island where O'Neil grew up where he finds Dr Jeremy Wheaton who has been experimenting in tissue regeneration.
