"Oh, hello there, fright fans. I've just been sitting here waiting for my blood pack to harden. My cosmetologist said I was starting to look a little lifeless. Much better, eh? Which reminds me, tonight's poison parable is about a couple who take their appearance very seriously. Needless to say, they're going to end up trying to save face. I call this one "Judy, You're Not Yourself Today.""
Directed by Randa Haines (Children of a Lesser God) and written by Steven Dodd and Scott Nimerfro (who wrote eleven episodes of this show), "Judy, You're Not Yourself Today" is about possibly MAGA couple Donald (Brian Kerwin) - who walks around their house armed and dangerous - and his wife Judy (Carol Kane), who speaks with a fake English accent. One day, a door-to-door saleswoman/witch (Frances Bay) comes to sell her a magic necklace that allows her to steal her body.
The story comes from Tales From the Crypt #25 and was written by Al Feldstein and William Gaines and drawn by probably the best of all EC artists, Wally Wood. Like many EC stories, it's inspired by - sometimes Gaines and company would outright rip off stories - H. P. Lovecraft's The Thing On The Doorstep.
It has some prestige talent in front of and behind the camera, but is just fine. It's a quick story and at least Kane and Bay are fun in it.
