A stuffy middle-aged foreigner, a businessman named Fabricius, lonely and looking for a night's diversion, finds it in the form of a mysterious blonde. In an abandoned cemetery, she tells him three tales involving black magic and erotic obsession. In "The Last Golem," a young rabbi struggles to fashion a massive, silent giant out of living clay — until he's distracted by a mute servant girl. In the second episode, "Bread Slippers," an 18th-century countess indulges her passion for sweet cakes, adulterous affairs, and secret kisses with pretty maids until a mysterious visitor whisks her away to an abandoned mansion, where Fate has a different kind of dance in store for her. And in the final story, "Poisoned Poisoner," a ravishing murderess in the Middle Ages dispatches lecherous merchants to the tune of upbeat '60s Czech pop songs.

Snare of Evil (2025)
Veronika and Mirek try to revive their relationship with a horror-themed Valentine’s trip to the Slavkov Forest, known as the “Knot of Evil.” The tour group includes anxious guide Alex; Ludmila, a detective novel fan sent by her kids; Honza, an extroverted gay journalist seeking a big story; and David and Dana, a married couple who reflect what Veronika and Mirek fear becoming. The bus visits historic massacre sites that seem unimpressive at first, but after Veronika discovers a strange doll, eerie changes unfold. Tensions rise as the travelers’ darker sides emerge—fear, aggression, and suspicion lead to growing hostility. A haunting cry echoes through the woods, suggesting the presence of a mythical being tied to the Slavic legend of the Navka, a spirit from the realm of the dead.

Murderous Tales (2016)
MURDEROUS TALES is a special effect animated feature film combining live actors with 3D/2D animation, puppets and back projection. It contains three stories: Antonio Cacto, Lighthouse and The Big Man, plus three ultra-short films called Charge the Dragon. Each episode uses different production technology and is in a different genre, but both their form and their content are related. All the episodes are about double standards and the topics of heroism and death. Something very small meets something very big (a tiny knight meets a huge dragon, an old Mexican goblin meets a man, a tiny Professor meets real-life cows, two mobsters meet the Big Man). All these meetings result in the heroic death of the small principal characters. Each script sees heroism and death differently.

Inn At the Flying Dragon (1972)
Joseph Sheridan le Fanu's tale, "Inn at the Flying Dragon," brings dark fantasy, ghostly apparitions, and mysteries to the TV screen. It's part of his well-known collection, "The Dark Mirror," published a century ago, yet still captivating readers today. Bohumila Zelenková drew inspiration from this novella, not just for its mysterious and romantic elements but also for the characters' intriguing portrayal of the post-Napoleon era—a time when many sought greatness, even if it meant embracing deception.

Grandmothers Recharge Well! (1984)
A family purchases a home robot designed to look like a grandmum. Their neighbours immediately buy a more expensivve model as the two families always try to up the other one. Both grandmums start to "terorize" their families because they were set up to ensure the mums exercise, the kids study etc. Apart from that they start causing problems to the other family ... cut ropes with hanging clothes, pierced tires, etc. Once they get to killing each other family's pets the parents get really worried about the safety of their kids. The grannys later destroy each other while fighting and the families decide that they'll be better off without any robots. (It's some time since I saw this so the details may be off.) Mainly thanks to the design of the robots it's rather a comedy than a horror. Unless you are ten. And a rather good comedy!

Within a relatively small framework this short cartoon tells us about two little cousins—a beautiful one and an ugly one—that prove that all that glitters is not gold, and even an embodied beauty can have the heart of a werewolf. From an artistic point of view, the message of the story is underlined by Salamoun's specific style.
