"Dead Right" the episode that started season 2 of "Tales From The Crypt" is a gory shocker with a nice twist and probably one of the series best episodes of all-time. It has the star power in Demi Moore who stars as a lonely secretary who wants a new life. After going to a fortune teller for advice she's told that she will find a new job, and get a new life with a new man, then he will inherit money then die a very violent death! Now that sounds just the way that she wants it. Soon those predictions come true, a new job as a waitress where the arrival of mister right is in the form of a 300 pound plus slob played perfect by Jeffrey Tambor! Marriage takes place as the hope for money still remains, the only thing to get these two out of misery. Only it takes a surprise twist when it comes to the money deal, the inheritance ends in a bloody violent death, and it ends with a slob paying his own juice bill. It just shows that fate plays it's own way sometimes! Overall this is one of the best crypt episodes with good acting, a good plot and a surprise shock of bloody gore.
