Second official episode of George A. Romeros' 'Tales from the Darkside' TV series is lightly enjoyable, if never terribly surprising. It's practically a two character piece until the end, with two elderly gentlemen locked in a nifty game of cat and mouse. Lovable Keenan Wynn and solid George Petrie are Duncan Williams and Jack Blaine, respectively, a pair of unrepentant, dastardly "businessmen" in the habit of making wagers. One day Duncan offers Jack the sum of $1 million for the sale of Jacks' immortal soul. Jack doesn't take this too seriously as he's an atheist and doesn't really believe in the concept of souls. However, he has a change of heart when he finds out that he's dying, and pleads with Duncan to void the contract. Duncan, a truly greedy, rotten s.o.b., delights as Jack even offers him an additional $1 million to forget the whole thing. However, neither Duncan nor Jack realize that another party has taken a heavy interest in their shady doings and has nasty things in store for them; this is an individual, who, shall we say, will not be denied their wish. Wynn and Petrie are very capable veterans who just act the Hell out of this material. Wynn, as we could expect, is particularly delicious. The finale is fun stuff, rather reminiscent of Scrooge receiving his late night visit from *his* old partner Jacob Marley. The rotting, "peeling flesh" makeup effects are decently done and there is some nice atmosphere. The sight of the words PAID IN FULL burnt into a mans' skin is simply very cool. Overall, an unmemorable but good episode. Seven out of 10.
