BARNABAS & SCORPIO CURSE
(W) Marilyn Ross
Is the sign of Scorpio the mark of death? Terror reigns at Collinwood when several patients at a nearby psychiatric clinic at which Barnabas Collins is a patient are stabbed to death. Each victim's forehead is marked with a scorpion, the zodiacal symbol of death. Then Diana Collins, another Collins family relative, finds a bloody knife in her room. Diana, whose astrological sign is Scorpio, is afraid that she may have committed the murders during one of her blackouts. The fear that she is losing her mind is compounded when no one will believe she has seen a strange, wolf-like creature prowling the grounds. The only person who will listen to her story is Barnabas. But how can he help her when he too has become a suspect?

BARNABAS QUENTIN & SERPENT
(W) Marilyn Ross
Professor Gerald Collins returns to Collinwood from an archaeological expedition to Mexico with several crates of animals. She fears her father also brought back a Quetzalcoatl, the terrible, cursed feathered serpent of Aztec legend. Suddenly, a mysterious murderer strikes at Collinwood, and a feathered serpent is reported flying over the area. The townspeople, already angered by the presence of Barnabas at Collinwood, now demand that Professor Collins turn his specimens over to a zoo before anyone else is killed. Irma tries desperately to clear her father's name, and in doing so, stumbles upon a monster even more dreadful than the Quetzalcoatl.
