Terrifying Tales contains three independently-produced shorts running about 20 minutes apiece. Only one of the three; Paul Bunnell's "Final Destination: Unknown" (copyrighted 1989), is actually horror. The other two; Armand Garabidian's "Ten Seconds to Countdown" (copyrighted 1986) and Ephraim Schwartz's "Creatures of Habit" (also 1986), are, respectively, science fiction and drama with only slight mystery components. The three used here are connected only in that they were shorts made by UCLA graduate students. Sadly, none of them is very good. The opening title screens and closing credits have been left intact for each.

Après 17 ans de séparation, Gary Ewing et son ex-femme Valene ont décidé de reprendre la vie commune. Ils partent se fixer loin de Dallas dans une résidence proche de la mer à Knots Landing, en Californie. A peine installés dans leur nouvelle demeure, ils font la connaissance de leurs voisins, les Fairgate et les Avery. La petite communauté mène une vie plus ou moins paisible... jusqu'à l'arrivée de l'intrigante Abby Fairgate !
