Description
A man and his wife buy a castle in Europe that no one has lived in for years due to a curse. The man finds a door that is sealed and hears a voice behind it pleading for help. He gets the door open, but the prisoner turns out to be Medusa, who attempts to turn him to stone with her gaze as a reward for his assistance in freeing her. He is startled to hear her identify herself as the monster Medusa, but he does not turn to stone as he looks at her. Medusa wonders if her powers have finally faded over the course of the centuries, and dares to draw the curtain back from a covered mirror in order to peer at her own visage. Medusa turns to stone as she had not guessed that the man was blind.
