Time to deal another dead man's hand, courtesy of croupier Clive Barker and his cruel conceits. Here's how the cards fall tonight...

A pair of lovers must test their relationship -- beyond the grave. Vietnam makes a soldier and a Cenobite into two-of-a-kind. Flush with terror, a mother battles monstrosities for her son's soul. And when a gambler bets on the wrong horse, it's a straight-to-hell.

Stir in a round...you may find the stakes irresistable.

In fact, we'd bet your life on it.
