The premise

Enigmatic asylum owner Dr Tremayne houses four very special cases. Visited by his colleague Nicholas, Tremayne explains his amazing and controversial theories as to why each patient went mad, be they a ritualistic 'luau', a time-travelling bicycle, a toy tiger, and a tree stump.

Horror Vault's take

A mysterious asylum doctor invites a skeptical colleague behind the doors of his institution to hear the extraordinary — and deeply disturbing — stories behind four of his most baffling patients. Each tale unravels its own brand of creeping wrongness, from uncanny objects with a life of their own to dark ritualistic forces. In the tradition of the great British portmanteau horrors, this anthology weaves the strange and the sinister into a single unsettling frame. What drives a person to madness may be far more terrifying than madness itself.
