Whitfield, in her role as Madame Mabry, a Jamaican, voodoo expert of the Supernatural, will walk viewers through the evening of chilling relationship catastrophes.

The trilogy event will feature the following stories:

Pillow Talk Channel 187

Late night radio DJ Coffee Black (Neal) has the sultry voice that can seduce any man over the airwaves and in person, she brings them to their knees, in more ways than one. When Coffee begins to receive mysterious calls from past lovers like Isaiah (Woodbine) her world is filled with dead air.

For The Love Of Lockwood

Jealousy engulfs Marla Peters (Marcille) just as she is set to marry her fiancé Lockwood Masters (Blakemore) driving him to call off the wedding. Lockwood ultimately forgives Marla and with a little assistance from Madame Mabry (Whitfield) promises to love her… to death.



Mirror, Mirror

Ronald (Lennix) is caught in a love triangle between his new love Alexa (Rowell) and his live-in girlfriend Jessica (Sherwood). After Coming Home to find Jessica and friends including Monique (Tran) performing a strange ritual, he breaks the relationship off. As a peace offering, Jessica brings an ornately-decorated mirror that changes his life forever.

He performed like a seasoned pro on Day One.
