A Crypt episode relying in clever writing and deadpan performances from a remarkable cast is pulled off well, despite it's lack of bloodshed and gore. John Stamos is Johnny, a young gigolo romancing an elderly mob-(Eileen Brennan). When the mobster discover's Johnny's affair with a young waitress (Kate Vernon), a swath of betrayal, bullets, and twists will be carved over the next twenty-odd minutes. Robert Picardo (Innerspace) and Frank Stallone add a touch of class as the mobster's head goons. Some of the episode's action is tepid, a little b-movie-ish, but the end is delightfully mean natured. Fun Fact: The Cryptkeeper's sportscaster routine in the opening features the name of some Crypt-artists and participants as he reveals ooze on first.
