    Ghouls and boils, welcome back to the mausoleum! This week, we're starting to dig up Season 2 of Tales From The Crypt. First up, we learn a lesson in greed and fortune-telling... before trading a fortune for the ultimate, high-end body swap in a cautionary tale of old age and vanity... And our guest is a writer of stage, TV, and radio, Brendon Connelly... ~ [ 00:00:25 ] "Dead Right" Cathy (Demi Moore) is a gold-digging secretary desperate to hit it big. When a bizarre fortune teller predicts she will marry a grotesque, overweight man (Jeffrey Tambor) who will soon inherit a massive fortune and die shortly after, Cathy thinks she’s found the ultimate get-rich-quick scheme. She eagerly walks down the aisle, but she quickly learns that fate has a twisted sense of humour—and the fine print on a prophecy is always a killer. ~ [ 00:32:30 ] "The Switch" Carlton Webster (William Hickey) is an elderly, wealthy man desperately in love with a beautiful, much younger woman (Kelly Preston). Realising his age is a dealbreaker, he seeks out a radical, black-market doctor to swap his elderly body parts with a young, handsome donor (Rick Rossovich) in exchange for cash. He pays the ultimate price to look perfect for his dream girl—only to find out that love can be incredibly blind...

    Grab your best shovel, boils and ghouls! This week, we dig up the last two delightfully twisted episodes from Tales from the Crypt's first season. We explore a honeymoon from hell featuring a shocking transformation, then we head into retirement where a rocky marriage turns into a taxidermy nightmare... And our guest is a freelance journo, moderator, and essayist specialising in horror, with bylines in THN, JustWatch, Arrow Video, Second Sight, Dread Central, Film Stories & more. It's Kat Hughes! ~ [ 00:00:20 ] "Lover Come Hack To Me" A scheming con man marries a wealthy, older, and seemingly naive woman (Amanda Plummer). He takes her to a secluded, eerie mansion for their honeymoon with full intentions of murdering her for her inheritance. However, his sweet new bride is hiding an ancient, blood-soaked family secret of her own. ~ [ 00:23:40 ] "Collection Completed" An uptight, newly retired executive named Jonas (M. Emmett Walsh) finds himself trapped at home with nothing to do. He quickly grows completely irritated by his wife Anita’s obsession with adopting stray animals.

    Ghouls and boils, welcome back to the mausoleum! This week, we are diving deep into another two episodes of Tales from the Crypt's historic first season. First up, we hit the carnival grounds for a lesson in basic math and feline anatomy... before trading the circus tent for a high-end pawn shop in a cautionary tale of vanity... And our guest is a film reviewer and horror lover who's written for InSession Film, Search Magazine, Geek Vibes Nation, and more... Kristin Battestella! ~ [ 00:00:25 ] "Dig That Cat... He's Real Gone" A down-on-his-luck grifter (Joe Pantoliano), undergoes a bizarre medical experiment where a mad scientist transplants a cat’s brain gland into his own. The result? He now has nine lives, so teams up with a sleazy carnival barker to cash in on the ultimate sideshow attraction: dying a spectacular death on stage, night after night, only to rise again... ~ [ 00:35:00 ] "Only Sin Deep" A sex worker (Lea Thompson) wants to secure a wealthy bachelor at any cost. Low on funds to keep up her glamorous lifestyle, she visits a mysterious pawn shop and strikes a deal to pawn her beauty for quick cash. The money works, and she snags her billionaire—but when she goes back to redeem her looks, she learns that the interest rate on vanity is a killer.
