Synopsis for "The Killer Eye"
A man at a carnival photographs his wife and in the background a gypsy is pickpocketing her victim. When the victim calls for police that he has been robbed, the cameraman sees the gypsy in the background of the photo and informs the police. The gypsy is enraged that her crime has been foiled and curses the camera. The man's wife is rattled, but refuses to give into superstition, so she photographs her husband and places the picture in her purse. Slowly, the man comes to realize that the camera curse is real and that he can harm photos and consequently harm the people in the photos. He uses this power for self-gain. When his wife has her purse snatched, the police fire shots at the robber. She gets her purse back and is chagrined to find that one of the bullets has passed right through the photo's forehead.
