“Ah! Welcome to my cozy crypt. Have I got a story for you! A tacky, tropical tale of love and lust, greed and ghouls, and my personal favorite – death! But I’m warning you, it’s not a pretty picture. So, pack up your passport and prepare for this torrid tale of putrification in paradise. I’m sure you’ll find it appealing.”

If you’re going to get a love potion to win over someone that doesn’t love you, don’t ask your ex-girlfriend voodoo queen to do it.

Logan Andrews (D.W. Moffett) once was with Psyche (Janet Hubert), the voodoo woman whose family’s land he stole. Now he’s in love with Margaret Richardson (Pamela Gien) but she’s not interested. That’s why he needs some help. Psyche says, “One drop and she will be your wife but two drops and she will be yours for life.”

Logan treats this magic like I do edibles and when it doesn’t seem to take right away, he gives her more. That’s how you end up screaming into a TV set, sure that you’re going to die. At least from drugs. Here, Margaret croaks — well, Psyche does have a doll of her — and professes her undying love before she, you know, died.

Happily, she comes back from the dead but she’s starting to rot. Not even killing himself will get Logan away from her, as Psyche has cursed him to be chased by a skeleton that wants to have sex with him for the rest of his life. Or forever. Probably forever, right?

Directed by Chris Walas (the director of The Fly II and The Vagrant, as well as a special effects expert) and written by Jeri Barchilon and Steven Dodd, this is a quick and grisly outing.

It’s based on the story “Till Death” from The Vault of Horror #28, which was written by Al Feldstein and William Gaines and drawn by Johnny Craig.
