TALES FROM THE CRYPT – SEINFELD – TAPE 1934

Over to Sky One for a packed tape, starting with Tales from the Crypt and an episode called Spoiled. Danny Elfman’s theme is very familiar, but I think it was from the compilation CD of Elfman music.

It’s another of the seemingly endless anthology series that proliferated in the late 80s and early 90s. I can list about ten of them just off the top of my head, and that would only cover a fraction of them. And yet, it’s not a format that’s perennially popular. I don’t see tons of new ones on Netflix or HBO – Black Mirror feels like an exception, but in the 90s it would just have been one of many.

This one was a bit more high profile than some, having a glittering array of Executive Producers – Richard Donner, David Giler, Walter Hill, Joel Silver and Robert Zemeckis.

This episode features Faye Grant, off of V, as Janet, a woman who’s very bored with her home life.

Her heroine is Fuschia Monroe, played by Anita Morris, who was great in Ruthless People.

The next episode is Mournin’ Mess. It features Vincent Schiavelli and John Astin.

The next episode is Undertaking Palor. There’s a couple of familiar faces. Jason Marsden was in Eerie Indiana.
