Greetings Midnight Viewers. Father Malone here. And I’d like to welcome you to a special bonus series. We’ve been slugging it out in the horror anthology trenches for years now and felt as though the chaff sometimes overwhelms the bloody wheat in our discussions. To that end, we’ve decided to throw a spotlight on some of the more superlative segments from the various and disparate series.
TELEVISION TERROR
Tales from the Crypt
Aired July 17th, 1990
Written by Greg Pruss and Randall Jahnson
Directed by Charlie Picerni
Starring Morton Downey Jr.
Originally published in Haunt of Fear and written/inked by Harvey Kurtzman, Television Terror is the story of a tabloid television journalist and the night spent in a haunted house as yet another ratings stunt. But this is Tales from the Crypt. And here houses ARE haunted. And they don't give a damn about ratings.
Joining Midnight Viewing to discuss this episode is author Randall Jahnson (The Doors, Dudes, Sunset Strip)
