An opportunist named Charles (Stephen Shellen) marries a wealthy woman named Peggy (Amanda Plummer) who has inherited her parents money, much to the dismay of her Aunt Edith. Charles plans to kill Peggy on their honeymoon to become a rich man, but is Peggy really the oblivious woman, Charles thinks she is?
This episode is no great shakes, but I still really enjoyed it. It's got the patented black humor that the Crypt series is well known for, and the solid storytelling. This one actually has more suspense than a lot of other episodes do. The old house they stay in has some terrific atmosphere. It also has a really eerie dream sequence that actually managed to creep me out a little bit. I'll give credit to Amanda Plummer for that. She's actually scary enough as it is, by just being her. I definitely wouldn't wanna dream about her! Stephen Shellen plays his manipulative character well. When push came to shove, I actually empathized with him more than I did Amanda Plummer (!) I highly doubt that was intended, but it just happened for me. There isn't a lot of gore, but there is quite a bit of blood splashing, courtesy of a lot of hacking. They sadly cut away from the full impact, so all you see is blood splashing.
Final Thoughts: It's good entertainment, and that's all there is to it. it's not on my favorite list, but I do enjoy it a lot. Check it out if you see it on the net, or T.V!
7.2/10
