The second story is a horror-comedy flick: Zombie. It starred the love-team of Maricel Soriano and William Martinez with Manilyn Reynes. The three get lost while en route to a camping trip. They enter an eerie house, manned by the even creepier albeit funny Palito and, while chugging down a soup filled with human entrails, they accept the offer to sleep over at the decrepit house. They manage to stay alive, while screaming their heads off in the process.
The third episode is a semi-musical titled Kerubin. It is about a group of child laborers working for three mean old ladies headed by Bella Flores, and how Kerubin (played by Chuckie Dreyfuss), an angel sent by God, frees the kids from the clutches of evil. Nora Aunor stars as the niece of the mean old ladies, who happens to be the good one. Tirso Cruz III, Lou Veloso, Sheryl Cruz and Tina Paner were also in the cast.

Famous quotes containing the word regal:
“What is Africa to me:
Copper sun or scarlet sea,
Jungle star or jungle track,
Strong bronzed men, or regal black
Women from whose loins I sprang
When the birds of Eden sang?”
