Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to Lea Thompson, she found it difficult to perform love scenes with Brett Cullen because he is her close friend in real life. Her difficulty was compounded by the fact that her husband, Howard Deutch was directing her. She had to redub her dialogue in those scenes in post-production.
- GoofsThe calender had the same picture before and after the four months in the peddler's shop.
- Quotes
Crypt Keeper: Poor Sylvia, eh, kiddies? Guess she heard the old saying, "if looks could kill"... so she did! Haha! Just goes to show ya, if you wanna sell yourself, take a look in the mirror, first.
[the Crypt Keeper looks at his own reflection]
Crypt Keeper: Eurgh! Well, see you next time, boys and ghouls!
[laughs maniacally]

A call girl (Lea Thompson)needs money to land a handsome playboy (Bret Cullen) so she tries to sell some jewelry to a pawn shop owner (Britt Leach) but that's not what the pawnbroker is interested in. Instead he buys her beauty.
This is not the best in the series, but it's far from the worst it's an overall great episode with a great plot, but it seems like it tries too hard. you won't be disappointed with any episodes in this series, because they all bring something creepy to the table. This one hits home to the people who think beauty is everything.
It is kinda funny to watch this now being a big fan of "Back to the future." A part of me is just waiting for Michael J. Fox to show up in the DeLorean, but then I remember I'm watching Tales from the crypt, the show that help make HBO what it is.
