  9. "Judy, You're Not Yourself Anymore" • "Fitting Punishment" with Emma Arneil

  Aug 18, 20261h 13mS2

  Ghouls and boils, welcome back to the mausoleum! This week, we're diving into two darkly comic tales of vanity, greed, and ruthless punishment—exploring the chaos of identity-stealing witches in suburban homes and the grim, cold fate awaiting a miserly undertaker in a creepy funeral parlour. And our guest is The Horror & Her podcast host Emma Arneil! ~ [ 00:00:25 ] "Judy, You're Not Yourself Today" When Donald (Brian Kerwin), a fastidious gun enthusiast, notices his wife Judy (Carol Kane) acting strangely, he initially chalks it up to mood swings. However, he soon discovers that an eccentric door-to-door cosmetic saleswoman (Frances Bay) has used an ancient magic amulet to swap bodies with Judy. Donald must figure out a way to reverse the spell before he is stuck living with an imposter forever. ~ [ 00:36:20 ] "Fitting Punishment" Ezra Thornberry (Moses Gunn) is a deeply cruel and penniless undertaker who cares far more about cutting corners and saving pennies than showing respect for the dead. When his recently orphaned nephew Bobby (Jon Clair) is sent to live with him and work at the mortuary, Ezra treats him with severe brutality and disdain. However, Ezra soon learns that mistreating those under his roof—living or dead—comes with a very dark price.

  Aug 4, 202656 minS2

  Ghouls and boils, welcome back to the mausoleum! This week, we're back with two more episodes from Tales from the Crypt’s amazing second season. First up, we hit the high-rises for a dark lesson in noir-style betrayal, insurance fraud, and blackmail... then, we trade the penthouse for the rock stage to hear the troubling voices inside a corrupt promoter's head... And joining us for the first time is musician, podcaster, and horror fan Anthony Bowman from The Frankencast show... ~ [ 00:00:25 ] "The Sacrifice"  A hotshot insurance agent (Kevin Kilner) thinks he has executed the perfect crime after murdering his wealthy client to steal his money and beautiful wife, Gloria (Kim Delaney). But the honeymoon period cuts incredibly short when a ruthless blackmailer (Michael Ironside) pops up with proof of the crime, spinning a web of manipulation and psychological torture that leads to an unforgettable, multi-layered twist ending. ~ [ 00:27:00 ] "For Cryin' Out Loud"  Greedy rock promoter Marty Slash (Lee Arenberg) is planning to abscond with a mountain of cash raised at a "Save the Amazon Rainforest" benefit concert. His flawless heist hitches a major snag when a corrupt banker (Katey Sagal) blackmails him for half the cut, and a screaming, booming inner voice—manifesting as his actual, literal conscience (voiced by the iconic Sam Kinison)—starts ringing in his ears, driving him to the absolute brink of madness.
