In this anthology of chills, thrills, and kills, a practitioner of the magical arts teaches the basics of her craft. The most important lesson? You must be mindful of your intention. Five of her customers are about to learn this the hard way: A woman looking to change her luck gets ensnared in a dangerous game; In the quest for justice, a man is transformed into a monster; In an attempt to right a wrong, a woman rescues a stray cat; A father and son are torn apart when a joke goes too far; A young girl needs protection from the demons in her life.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Six directors split five segments—Jocelyn and Brian Rish co-directed 'The Disappearance of Willie Bingham,' the only sibling collaboration in the anthology.
The framing device with the witch instructor deliberately mirrors 'Tales from the Crypt' but replaces puns with genuine moral weight—each segment's curse scales to the severity of the intention's selfishness.
