After losing their university jobs, three parapsychologists start a ghost-catching business in New York City and uncover a supernatural threat that could destroy the world.

New York's Odyssey Detective Agency is hired by two different clients to follow two women suspected of infidelity. Ladies' man John Russo trails Angela Niotes, the elegant wife of a wealthy Italian industrialist, while Charles Rutledge and Arthur Brodsky follow Dolores Martin, the beautiful young wife of a jealous husband. Their respective cases are complicated when John falls for Angela, and Charles falls for Dolores.

Two beautiful women who live in the same apartment building each have a shocking story to tell. On the first floor lives Silvia Resino (Alexandra Paulhiac), who has three psychotic admirers while on the second floor, RoseMarie Curtis (Sasha Graham) is descending into madness after joining an insane acting school.

A muscular hunk works selling shoes, but has a very overactive imagination. He falls asleep while reading "Venus in Furs" and dreams of Venus herself, speaking to him in poetry while he caresses her feet and waits on her as a servant. He also stares at women on the subway and imagines kissing and making love to them. After spending his day waiting on beautiful flirtatious women on his knees, he picks up Marna, a mysterious woman in the library, who invites him to her secluded mansion to join her assorted other guests for a weekend of sensual depravity.

Joe Marzano adapted Edgar Allan Poe's famed short story more than once. After The Tell-Tale Heart (1958), he returned to the pages of Poe 28 years later for this remake: As in Poe's original 1843 story, a murderer (Marzano) buries a body beneath the floor of his room and thinks the heartbeats of his victim can be heard while the police are investigating. After he confesses, the sound is revealed to be the ticking of the victim's watch. In 1989, Marzano shot new scenes to increase the running time of this 1986 interpretation.

For "Trilogy," filmmaker Marzano grouped together three of his 1960-61 short films Changeover (1960), Return (1961) and Lovelost (1961) into a single 18-minute film, which he described: "In miniature, depicting three moments, perhaps in one day."

Stanley Blindon fantasizes about beautiful woman, but none can compare to his wife Claudia. He is completely obsessed with her. Returning from a trip to Boston, Blindon unexpectedly finds Claudia in bed with another man. Running wildly through the streets, he suddenly turns into a werewolf. He seeks psychiatric help, but the psychiatrist, Dr. Caligari does little to change the situation. Seeking revenge on Claudia, once again transforms into a werewolf. Bursting into her bedroom, he discovers her in bed with Caligari. Machete in hand, the werewolf decapitates Claudia. Caligari escapes, but the werewolf gives chase. When the two fight, Caligari gains the upper hand by producing a pistol. Suddenly, a bright light flashes...

A cinematic tribute to the late blues singer Bessie Smith, with Bessie Smith as she appeared in the 1929 film St. Louis Blues and songs sung by her as well as a commentary read by Joseph Marzano.

A sleazy couple tricks young, gullible women into making "smut" movies, then blackmails them into becoming members of their club.

Working late one night at her job as a photographer's assistant, Inger is raped by a client while two nude models force her to submit. Overwhelmed by shame, she runs away and attends a party where drugs stimulate unrestricted sexual activity. Emotionally unstable, Inger turns to lesbianism. She is drawn deeper into a life of depravity, until she is killed by an overdose of drugs.

Captured by a brood of vampires at an old castle, a man finds himself in the midst of the vampires' dinner party and orgy (for both straight and gay). The vampire leader (Joe Marzano) gives a long speech, quoting from Oscar Wilde, and it's the same speech delivered in Marzano's Venus In Furs (1967). As the orgy evolves into a fandango of psychedelic imagery, the captured man turns to stone.
