THREE TALES OF HORROR: A HIT AND RUN DRIVER IN THE HITCHHIKER A WOODEN INDIAN ON THE WARPATH IN OL' CHIEF WOODENHEAD & FOUR FRIENDS WHOSE VACATION ON A SECLUDED LAKE TURNS INTO ANIGHTMARE IN THE RAFT.

In any case, this one's for diehard fans only. --Robert HortonThe rotting Creep himself is back with three new gruesome tales of horror that will make your skin crawl: a cigar store wooden Indian comes to life to avenge the store owner's brutal murder at the hands of three punks in Ol’ Chief Woodenhead. Then four teenagers become the target of a terrifying, man-eating oil slick i! n The Raft. The chills continue with The Hitchhiker, the chilling tale of a woman who keeps running into, and over, the same mutilated man on a lonely road.
