Tales from the Crypt 1.03

Dig That Cat... He's Real Gone

starring Joe Pantoliano, Robert Wuhl, Kathleen York
directed by Richard Donner

Ulric (Joe Pantoliano), a sideshow performer, tells the story of how he became the Man Who Came Back from the Dead.

Thoughts

The story in this episode was adapted from a story of the same name that was published in Haunt of Fear 21 (Oct 1953). The comic book story was written by Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein and illustrated by Jack Davis.

Robert Wuhl played the barker. Kethleen York played Ulric's girlfriend. This is the first of two episodes in which Joe Pantoliano appeared.

There is some humor here that I like but this episode didn't exactly hit a homerun for me. It's okay. It is not good or great.
