Tales from the Crypt (1989 - 1996): Review By The CryptKeeper

I don't know what it is about this episode that makes it one of my favorites of season 2, and possibly the entire series of Tales from the Crypt. It isn't monsters, but more blind revenge, I guess.

Story- *spoiler*

So Richard and his wife, Della, go up to Alan's cabin for their 10th anniversary. Alan has been a friend for a long time, and has always liked Della, but Richard got her, and he feels regret for not acting to try to get Della. On their trip, Della is paying more attention to Alan, than her husband. He get's jealous. It's his anniversary, and she hardly ever talks to him. He finds out that Alan is buying Della stuff, like a nice expensive fur coat. He starts to think that she is cheating on him. One night, while drunk, he had all he could take. He murders Alan, and soon does the same to his wife. And while dragging his wife's corpse to a cabin in back for disposal, he finds he has made a terrible mistake. He finds a surprise party, and that his wife was pregnant. It was all a joke...

Ya, so there is something about this one that I like. I have seen it many times, and it never gets old. The Cryptkeeper is at the top of his game, and so was director David Burton Morris, whom I have never heard of, but he does a great job. Ok, maybe the acting isn't top notch, however I still like the episode, and the acting isn't all that bad. One of the best episodes of season 2!
