Directed by Tom Holland, who wrote the script alongside James Tugend and Steven Dodd, “Four-Sided Triangle” is based on a story in Shock SuspenStories #17 that was written by Al Felder and William Gaines and drawn by Jack Kamen.

“She loves me; she loves me not. She loves me; she loves me not. Ah! What do flowers know about love anyway? Well, hello there boils and ghouls. Just getting in the mood for tonight’s tawdry tale a story of love and lurid lust in the dust. Sure to arouse the sickies amongst you to some heavy breathing. A tale I call “Four-Sided Triangle.”

George Yates (Chelcie Ross) caught Mary Jo (Patricia Arquette) robbing a store and has kept her a prisoner on the farm he owns with his wife Luisa (Susan Blommaert) as their slave. He harasses Mary Jo while his wife beats her with a cane. One day, while he’s trying to get Mary Jo to allow him to touch her, he ends up beating her with a bottle. The head injury she sustains causes her to hallucinate and believe that the clown-masked scarecrow in the field is her lover.

The injury has caused her to keep believing that the scarecrow loves her. Luisa mentions that they now have her for life, which makes George think that he can do whatever he wants to her. He also gets the bright idea to dress like the scarecrow, a plan that ends up destroying the evil scheme once and for all.

I really enjoyed this chapter. After all, Holland is an expert at telling horror stories.
