- QuizDavid Warner and Twiggy both appeared in John Carpenter's Body Bags a year after this episode aired. Although in different segments. David Warner in the segment "Hair" and Twiggy in the segment "The Eye." Body Bags was originally going to be a show similar to Tales From the Crypt, but airing on Showtime. Showtime pulled the plug, so they made an anthology movie instead.

Recensione in evidenza
A Crypt episode not to be...ignored!
"The New Arrival" definitely is one of the uncanniest and most macabre episodes off all the seven "Tales from the Crypt" seasons, and this despite the almost complete lack of gore and raw action. This tale simply features an ultra-grim premise, the exact right casting choices and quite a lot of spooky scenery. Murderous children are scary! More than enough movies proved that already and it's even more scary if the kids are psychiatric cases that wear eerie white masks! Dr. Alan Getz once was a successful children's psychologist but now he's a radio talk show host who gives the same advise to every desperate mother who asks for his help: just ignore your child's rebellious behavior. When his producers threaten to take him off the air, Dr. Getz uses his most frequent caller to boost up his popularity and promises to personally come and cure her daughter Felicity. He gets a lot more than he bargained for when both mother & daughter turn out to be totally insane and living in their own secure world. David Warner is terrific as the obnoxious doctor and, even though I couldn't stand her shrill voice in "Poltergeist", Zelda Rubinstein is ideally cast as the freaky mother. Peter Medak once directed the classic 'haunted house'-chiller "The Changeling", so he perfectly knows how to create an ominous and claustrophobic atmosphere. This is exactly what I expect from a decent "Tales from the Crypt"-episode: a fair amount of frights, morbidity and black humor. Recommended!
