A not-so-friendly rivalry gets out of hand. One psychiatrist miraculously cures her patients while her rival's patients are scared to death... literally. She uses an antique radio that broadcasts newscasts about how to cure mental patients with radical treatments. When the radio is placed in the room with the rival's patients, it broadcasts stories that pray on their worst fears and brings them to life.

This episode is almost an updated version of The Phantom of the Opera. This time the cursed item is a violin with a particularly deadly bow. When the "Phantom" kills with it he is given more magical music to add to his symphonic masterpiece. Oh, by the way, if you are keeping track it's Ryan's turn to lose the love of his life.

This episode helps answer the question, "Just how do Jack, Micki, and Ryan afford to travel around the world chasing down artifacts?". They are supplying antique props to a movie studio when Micki falls for an actor who just happens to have a cursed make-up kit. It turns out that this guy is severely disfigured and the make-up kit, by way of a death, gives him temporary good looks. There is a pretty sexy scene between Micki and William Pratt that highlights this episode.

"Lizzy Borden took an axe..." This was a well done episode with a pretty good twist at the end. It's almost cliche now, but it worked well for me at the time. Ryan falls for the wife of a wax sculpter at a traveling carnival. The cursed object, a handkerchief, brings a wax figure of Lizzy Borden to life. She then kills to relieve the headaches of the sculpter's wife. Sheesh, they had Tylenol back then. ;^)

This episode has nothing to do with George Bush... just an amazing coincidence. ;^) Micki has a friend that is marrying a ventriloquist so she decides to check out his show. The groom-to-be is acting VERY strange, even for a guy with his hand up a dummy. They discover a trail of death following the ventriloquist's tour. It turns out that a boutenierre(sp?) brings the dummy to life and he has a mind of his own. When the ventriloquist loses his marbles, the dummy falls into the hands of another ventriloquist who thinks he's in control.

Have you ever wished that you could stop time for just a little while? Well, this episode explores this premise through the use of cursed pocket watch. If someone is killed in a specific subway station before midnight, then an extra hour is added for the owner of the watch. Unfortunately, everyone else is frozen in time. It is thoroughly amazing how much can be done in one hour.

This is another "bullied person gets revenge through a cursed item" episode. In this case it's a cursed silver keychain. It allows the owner to win drag races at the bully's expense, of course. Thrown into the mix is an unhappy father-son relationship. The father always compares the son to the hot-rod king. These two are in desparate need of a psychologist.

Killer bees have got nothing on the bees at the center of this episode. Allow me to introduce the vampire bees. Ouch! They suck the blood (and life) out of victims and transfer a willing participant into the recently departed.

Welcome to the only episode where nobody dies! The cursed item is a childrens playhouse that is much bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. It takes care of all the needs for two neglected children. But, the children must "feed" the playhouse with other children. Fortunately, the children are only absorbed by the playhouse and not ripped to shreds. They are all returned unharmed in the end. Now... how are they going to get that playhouse into the vault.

Another one of my favorite episodes and the common element is Tom McCamus. This one centers on a cursed old-time projector that transports the user to the time and scene of the slide being projected. Of course, someone has to die before the time travel is activated and even then it only works for three hours. Tom McCamus plays an antique collector/trader that somehow obtains mint condition Civil War relics that he sells... for a mint.

Another fantastic episode. Probably Robey's biggest stretch as an actress. Also, this is probably the most violent episode of the series. Not so for the gore as much as the psychological effects and intense situations. I heard that many stations ran a parental advisory warning before the show. The cursed item is a syringe that allows a scientist to draw brain fluid from an unwilling "donor" and come closer to a cure for his daughter. His daughter has become superviolent because he accidentally infected her with a disease. Guess who ends up as a donor. ;^)

This is one of two episodes that I haven't seen. I will borrow from the Fangoria episode guide and others. The cursed item is a camera. When a person is photographed by it, they are killed by a werewolf.

This episode is reminiscent of "Tattoo" in that it involves a gambling addiction mixed with a cursed World Series ring that allows him to see the outcome of sporting events. You've heard the phrase "sell your grandmother", well it just about happens in this episode. ;^)

This was actually a complex episode because in involved two cursed objects that cross paths, and Jack wasn't even involved. Ryan and Micki are trying to retrieve the Shard of Medusa, a cursed object that a female sculpter uses to turn people into statues: her latest works of art. When they succeed at retrieving the shard, the sculpter hunts them back to Curious Goods and is holding Micki's nephew, J. B., as a hostage. She takes off with the shard. Since J. B. was dumped on Micki by her sister, he ends up playing with the neighborhood boys who challenge him to enter a haunted house. While inside, he meets Ricky, who turns out to be a child who was abused and murdered about 100 years ago. He was brought back to life with a cursed coffin provided by... Lewis Vendredi. The catch is that he must kill adults to stay alive. When Micki tries to rescue J. B. in the house, Ricky tries make Micki his latest victim. J. B. convinces Ricky that Micki is a good, loving, and caring adult. He becomes convinced. So, Ricky lets them go and dies... again.

Since Jack wasn't in the last episode, it's only fair that he get a show to himself. It turns out that Jack was imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp during WWII. He begins to have recurring nightmares about that time and the leader of the camp, a man called "the butcher". This man would kill his victims by strangling them with barbed-wire. This man has been brought back to life by a swastika amulet and an old doctor. The butcher begins to kill off Jack's regiment one by one, until he gets to Jack.

This is probably one of the episodes that freaked me out the most. The idea was creepier to me than most all the other episodes. Imagine being such a fan of a celebrity that you wanted to be that person. I don't just mean having the fortune and fame of that particular celebrity... you actually want to BE that person; exist as that individual. Mesmer's Bauble helps that dream come true for an over-zealous fan of the pop singer Angelica (played by Vanity)

Everyone meets someone special from their past and they each go their own ways in this episode... at least they thought they did. A mysterious snow globe is central to this episode. It's not clear whether or not it is a cursed object, but they all somehow end up inside of it, having been led their by their friends. None of the trio realize that their friends have been dead since they sold their souls to the devil. He has brought them back to help in his latest fiendish plan. It turns out that guys aren't the only ones that think Micki is sexy: Satan does too. So much that he wants Micki to have his child.

This is the second episode this season with a wedding theme. It is also the introduction of Johnny, as a potential love interest for Micki. In this episode, a cursed pool stick is used to kill providing its owner with incredible pool skills, albeit temporarily. We get to see how naive Johnny is about cursed objects, as well as how stressed out a wedding can make a person.

Music can be deadly... when played by a cursed Symphonia. Colm Feore stars in this episode as a dance instructor choreographing the "perfect cheer". Oops! I mean "perfect dance". You may remember him from his appearance in Stephen King's "Storm of the Century" and as a thick-headed Naval Commander in "Pearl Harbor". His dance students unwittingly sacrifice themselves for a few sequences of choreography for this perfect dance. Ultimately, he has to sacrifice himself during the performance to finish the dance. Unfortunately, he takes the daughter one of Jack's friends with him in the process.

A Native-American becomes a doctor who does not believe in the tribal healing methods used by his witch-doctor father. He fiinds a cursed ritual rattle that has been in his family for generations. As with other cursed medical objects, a life must be taken before someone can be healed. This episode has the distinction of being the one that contains the only retrieved cursed object that is not kept in the vault. Jack, Micki, and Ryan agree to let the tribe keep it safe.
