In Boston, a medical doctor tells a horrifying tale. He possesses a box containing the human head of another man, and visits a tattoo salon seeking help from an old friend. Through a flashback, he reveals his terrifying recent adventure: an exhausted and overworked doctor whose open windowsill is suddenly visited by a talking mynah bird.
Soon after, a strange, ominous visitor appears, claiming to own the bird and offering assistance. But who is he? Why does he constantly echo the chilling Lights Out tag line—”It’s later than you think”—alongside references to Edgar Allen Poe?
As this unsettling visitor weaves his way into the doctor’s life, everyone he refers to begins to meet sudden, mysterious deaths. Is the stranger himself the murderer? Sharp-eared listeners might deduce the grim truth early on: the visitor is the personification of Death. But how could the doctor have possibly beheaded him, and will it be enough to escape a doomed fate? Discover the suspenseful, chilling conclusion in this classic episode!
