Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Three scary stories. Jack enters the land of the magic worm to ask it to grant him a magic wish. At night, Jack meets a ‘family’ of cannibal robots who hunger for his magic sword. Jack tries to rescue a wish giving fairy from captivity by a greedy gargoyle.
Our Take
This is a fun change of pace, an anthology-style episode that lets Jack bounce between three separate monster adventures without any big arc to worry about. The cannibal robot family is the clear highlight, weird and creepy in a way the show rarely attempts. The other two tales are thinner and drag a bit, but the whole thing moves fast enough that it never wears out its welcome.
