Charles Dickens's eerie tale of a railway tunnel haunted by the ghost of a winter's death that is yet to come.
Episode 2: The Necklace
-------------------------
In this story by Guy de Maupassant, a young wife yearns, like Cinderella, to go to the Twelfth Night ball. Her husband gets hold of a coveted invitation and she borrows a priceless necklace from a friend. What happens at the party, however, ruins their lives for ever...
Episode 3: Thurlow's Christmas

John Kendrick Bangs's short story, Thurlow's Christmas, is about a demon, a mysterious stranger and a magical manuscript. Or is it..?
Episode 4: The She-Wolf
-------------------------
Munro Saki, a master of black comedy, provides tonight's final ghoulish offering, The She-Wolf. At a winter house party, one unbearable guest claims to be a master of the dark arts. But there is consternation all round when he turns his hostess into a wolf and can't turn her back again.
