But I am going on, aren't I? You see--even here, many galaxies or the right spell away... schadenfreude, pleasure at the misfortune of others, fuels base entertainment. So let's see what's on, shall we? Let's steal a glimpse of Earth and its dark, toiling creatures. After all... who doesn't enjoy a bit of someone else's misfortune?

—Lady Harkness

Synopsis for "Do Androids Dream in the Witch House?"

Vision takes off his homemade ghost costume as the Scarlet Witch tries to get him in the proper headspace for their Halloween party. The Last Door opens, interrupting them, and showing the couple a foggy forest scene. The Witch steps through to help up a man pleading for her help, and the door slams behind her, hitting Vision in the face. The bearded man changes his tone, hitting Wanda with his axe and revealing himself as the monster hunter Joshua Jovan, in pursuit of a walking tree but happy to take a witch as his trophy. Her magic not functioning in the woods, Wanda slips through the man’s legs and runs off into the dark. Back in the Emporium, Vision attempts a conjuring spell to bring the Witch back but summons instead a chicken in a suit of armor. Wanda encounters the walking tree, and she feeds him some of her magic and enlists its aid in trapping the hunter, calling for help to lure him as he did her. She leaves him hanging in the tree’s clutches, returning to find the Emporium a mess, overrun by various animals that Vision swears he can explain.

Synopsis for "The Green Tide"

In the Everglades, a mosquito lands on the Man-Thing to sup from his essence, the meal morphing and disfiguring the insect before it is eaten by a bat and the cycle begins anew. The mutation spreads through the wildlife all throughout the marshes, bringing the attention of Namor. He attacks the blissfully unaware Man-Thing as he enjoys a swamp flower, blaming him for the perversion of nature. Telling the creature to clean up his mess, Namor uses him as a lure on a fishing line repurposed from an anchor, bringing up an infected Kraken. Brought to the surface, the tentacled monstrosity is torn apart from within by the Man-Thing, but not before it infects the Sub-Mariner. Seeing the Atlantean’s situation, the Man-Thing reaches out and heals him with a touch, reabsorbing the serum. Without a word, the duo sets off to contain the infection before it can spread further.

Synopsis for "Monster Games"

Jack Russell packs away his meticulously selected jazz vinyls before transforming into the Werewolf by Night in the Monster Metropolis below Manhattan. His careful preparation is dashed when a spear is launched into his belongings by Kraven the Hunter. Enraged, the monster leaps toward the prize hunter, but is cut and lands wounded. He runs off, pursued by Kraven before a stake knocks his crossbow and Blade enters the fight. Blade demands Kraven play nice with his friend, but is blinded by a smoke bomb from the Hunter as he runs off after his prey. Investigating a pool of blood, Kraven is caught unawares and struck from behind by the werewolf, though he lands a blow on the monster. Blade appears above and summons his old friend up, leading both the werewolf and pursuant Kraven to a swarm of vampires. The vampires are dispatched by the trio, but not without getting their licks on Kraven, and the Werewolf by Night strikes down his weakened enemy, demanding his exit from the domain of monsters. The threat defeated, Blade and Jack wander off towards an cryptid dive bar.
