The five scenarios are loosely linked together by the presence of the same cursed garment: a wedding dress, loved and treasured but never worn.

• In our first tale, the dress is appropriated as a costume for a glamorous masquerade that quickly turns sinister.
• Later, it becomes a theatrical costume in a tragic, bedevilled production.
• Cut to shreds and used as pillowcase, the dresss fabric brings restless dreams to a family in peril.
• The silk shreds presence make a gathering of spiritualists a deadly occasion.
• And finally, the last rags of the dress attempt to reunite, dragging their maimed and murdered owners along for the ride.

Each scenario is designed to last a single session of 3-4 hours.
