The skeletal, ever-jocular Cryptkeeper serves up 13 new tales of horror, vengeance and not-so-divine retribution as Tales From the Crypt rises from its resting place for a second season. This year's grisly fun begins with "Dead Right," starring Demi Moore and Jeffrey Tambor in the story of a secretary who marries neither wisely nor too well. The second episode, a grisly twist on the old fountain of youth legend titled "The Switch," was directed by no less than Arnold Schwarzenegger. Later season three highlights include "The Thing From the Grave," in which a model (Teri Hatcher), tormented by an unbalanced ex-lover (Miguel Ferrer) finds that someone will always be watching out for her safety...even if that someone is beyond caring about his own well-being. Bob Goldthwait and Don Rickles form an unlikely duo in the morbid mood piece "The Ventriloquist's Dummy." Harry Anderson takes time off from Night Court to play a henpecked cartoonist who fashions his very own dream girl in "Korman's Kalamity." Volatile talk show host Morton Downey Jr. is the unwilling center of attention in the appropriately titled "Television Terror." And in the season finale "The Secret," a much-maligned orphan settles accounts with his evil adoptive parents...yuck!! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
