Spasms

Millionaire Jason Kincaid jolted awake from a feverish nightmare of sickening evil. The menacing sound of primitive drums and grotesquely-painted natives screeched in frenzy as a witch doctor taunted the Guardian of the Gates of Hell to appear. Jason needed the snake in America to end his bizarre telepathic link with it: he witnessed every death through the serpent's eyes. A demon serpent rose from the flames of a tribal bonfire and with uncontrollable blood thirsty fury, struck into the tribesmen, bringing death in a frenzy of destruction. On board the ship bringing the serpent to the U.S., a curious sailor received a pin-prick scratch from the deadly cargo. The poison soared through the man's body hideously deforming him until, with his veins glowing and his body burning up, he sought the solace of the sea to escape his torment. At the University where the demon was temporarily being studied, a bizarre snake worshipping religious cult attempted to seize the cargo when it smashed its way out into the night, the ultimate terrifying death. The Guardian of the Gates of Hell was free.
