SERPENT'S TOOTH marks one of the unfunny comedic episodes of TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE. Coming in partway through season three, the storyline involves a frustrated housewife - aren't they always? - who gets hold of a magic talisman that has the power to control her unruly children. Unfortunately for the family, the magic turns out to have extreme consequences...
Basically it's a simple story in which everything the protagonist comes true - a bit like the 'careful what you wish for' scenes in the WISHMASTER films. Sadly the whole thing is played for broad laughs, so this is another episode spoilt by overacting, shouted dialogue, and general over the top stuff that doesn't work very well.
