Song/Album Stories/Concepts:
From the Other Side tells about the protagonist's struggle with an out-of-body experience, forcing himself to come back to life before it's too late.
Killer describes a Richard Ramirez-type serial killer who's being put to death by electric chair.
The Poltergeist revolves around a ghost hunter who detects a spirit in their home, fearing that the invading ghost is evil, we come to find out that the supernatural being is harmless and is welcomed as a Casper the Friendly Ghost-type presence.
Dreams is about a man suffering a series of terrifying nightmares, and encountering she-demons in the form of little girls who supposedly take him to what appeared to be a paradise that existed on the opposite side of the waterfalls in which they were swimming in, and receives quite a shock to find out that the little girls were not what the appeared to be, and screams to escape the nightmare.
Moonlight tells about a group of cursed children, with references similar to the 1960 movie Village of the Damned.
Six Feet Under is an alternate chapter (a cut scene from Conspiracy) and references from Them telling what would have happened differently if King's mother and his sociopath therapist Doctor Landau had buried him alive in a glass coffin so they (along with his family) could watch him suffer in agony and perish, while his sister Missy kicks dirt in his face, laughing at his pain.
Plot of songs in "The Spider's Lullabye" story
The Spider's Lullabye focuses on a reclusive man named Harry who is terrified of spiders and out of desperation, finds a doctor who can cure his arachnophobia.
Eastmann's Cure is focuses on Harry answering a local ad in the newspaper about a psychiatric hospital that specializes in curing phobias of all kinds. The second character in the song Dr. Eastmann introduces himself to Harry as a kind, friendly physician who hides his true intentions.
In Room 17 a confident Harry awaits Dr. Eastmann and his assistant Nurse Needle Dear to begin his treatment and cure. The so-called "treatment" was nothing more than a torture session when Nurse Needle unleashes a wolf spider from the "Crawly Box". The next day, Harry complains of having a weird feeling on his neck, spider bites, and intense pain. Dr. Eastmann dismisses Harry's comments and thinks nothing more of it. The same night, when Harry is discovered by staff, they find him long dead and covered from head to toe in a spiderweb-like cocoon giving evidence that a series of spiders have wrapped him up like a fly, saving his dead body for consumption. Dr. Eastman comes to the realization that Harry had clearly died of fright (possibly from the result of a heart attack). When Harry (who is now reduced to bones and skin) is taken...
To the Morgue along with other patients who have died for reasons unknown, spiders begin making their home in his empty eye sockets.

From The Other Side I don't know if I'm dead or alive All I know…

Moonlight In the moonlight I see children searching for their souls In…
Room 17 Room 17 was nice and cool, oh yeah A few stains…
Six Feet Under My family just couldn't wait, I should have seen it…
The Poltergeist Some would say there is trouble in my home Even when…
The Spider's Lullabye In a little cottage, in the country side Lives a man…
To The Morgue To the morgue Take him to the morgue To the morgue Take him…
