The eighth episode of the third season of ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', and the eighty-sixth episode overall.

In a parody of ''Tales From the Crypt'', Buster introduces three scary tales in a tomb in the heart of a mansion.

'''Short One:''' "Wait Till' Your Father Gets Even"

Hamton loses Wade's bottle cap collection in a bet with Plucky and is afraid to face Wade's wrath.

'''Short Two:''' "Concord the Kindly Condor"

Concord grants help to animals in need, while his three mean (and much bigger) older brothers think otherwise and try to get him to hunt and eat animals.

'''Short Three:''' "Night of the Living Pets"

Every pet that died in Elmyra's care rise from their graves as zombies to haunt Elmyra, scaring her out of her wits... until she begins smothering them with the very affection that killed them.
