The premise

A college professor teaching a course called "The Psychology of Fear" brings his students (including a psychic) to his home, one dark and stormy night to tell scary stories. The first involves a young couple whose car breaks down by an old, abandoned house. The second has four trendy teenage girls getting lost in a bad part of town and chased by a pack of vicious dogs. Last, a woman on crutches confronting a stalker at the answering service where she works the night shift.

Horror Vault's take

A psychology professor invites his students to his home on a stormy night for an unusual lesson: a round of spine-chilling tales designed to explore the nature of fear itself. Three stories unfold — a stranded couple at a sinister old house, a group of teenage girls hunted through dark city streets, and a lone woman facing a terrifying threat during a late-night shift. Each segment ratchets up dread in its own distinct way, united by a wraparound that holds a few surprises of its own. This late-'80s anthology delivers old-school genre thrills with a pulpy, campfire-story energy.
