- Hello kiddies, today we're taking a look at the Tales from the Crypt episode Split Personality and it's comic counterpart from Haunt of Fear 30.
Oh no way, you're doing TFTC reviews too?? Awesome! I freaking love this show. I did hunt down the EC collection and read a few dozens of the comics, too.
My absolute favorite episode is "The Switch", the one directed by Arnie. The plot and the twist are great, the sets for the lab are awesome, and the mad doctor is played by Roy Brocksmith - who I remember fondly from Star Trek TNG episode "Peak Performance", playing a snooty alien that gets "busted up" by Data in a silly game of space-Battleship 🤣
This episode here is also very fun. I haven't read the OG comic version for this one, but it never fails to amuse me how wrong and spot-on at the same time the casting for this show often was. Joe Pesci is a total 180 from the comic's Clark-Gable-lookalike protagonist. 1950's blondes turned into 1990's brunettes. I'm surprised they didn't swap the cats that initiated the accident into a pair of Pomeranian dogs, lol!
My obligatory Star Trek trivia for Split Personality is related to the writer, Frank Dekker. He was very involved in the production of the first season of ST Enterprise and helped with the writing of three episodes. One of them being "Vox Sola", an episode infamous for having a monster that basically looked like a big pile of jizz.
Yeah the big reason why I wanted to do these was because I love the show and I can compare the episodes to their comic counterparts. It's been a while since I've done one though so I'll have to do another soon.
Man this episode is a classic. I saw it at way too young an age as an edited for content version on Fox. I was scared but couldn't look away kind of thing lol. As an adult I collected the series on DVD and saw the full episode in context. What a brilliant episode! It's one of the best of the series.
It's a lot of fun.
I remember this episode very well for some reason. But in the real world, you’ll need a surgical knife probably to get that exact 50/50 split of a person.
Yeah I don't think a chainsaw would be the best tool.
1:05 - Ok, I'm gonna start saying that at all my job interviews
Haha I'm sure it will work out well.
The comic comparison adds a lot. Axe animation was rad. Smooth video
One of the main reasons I wanted to do Tales from the Crypt was so I could do something fun with the comics.
This was a good episode. I like your content and reviews keep it coming! 😊
I'm glad you are and I plan on it.
GREAT JOB DUDE! I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS ONE BEFORE.
Thanks brother, it's silly fun.
Man, I love the editing on the comic book review a lot. Really spiced up the review :) The episode was ok to me. At the time I was too young to really appreciate what Joe Peschi brought to the table with his acting. I think I mainly liked it as a kid because the 2 actresses were very pretty to me. It's grown on me, especially after watching My Cousin Vinny.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. The comic book stuff is my favorite part of these videos.
Thanks that was fantastic 👍🏾👍🏾
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
nice review, i love tales from the crypt.
have you considered reviewing the 80s and 2000s Twilight zones? i think its fit with your 50s twilight zone reviews.
It is something I have thought about, but I already have like a million videos I want to do and not enough time to do them lol.
@@JBSpookyReview maybe one day when you get caught up on your backlog.
Awesome episode.
Anything with Joe Pesci is great. But this episode is awesome!!!
Joe Pesci is the best.
Hey, would you be willing to do the outer limits 95 version just to test out the waters.
I did do one, I'm just hesitant to do more because it got copyright claimed.
I always wondered where that meme was from 💀
Haha and now you know.
The dealer? Dude, that's Cypher, I'd be shocked if he wasn't betraying someone.
He must pay, and he will pay, with his toupee...
I mean, wouldn't he technically only have one quarter per twin? Unless he then moidered the sisters..
But also, I'm pretty sure the idea of getting jiggy with twins is they're both there at the same time, right, which this scenario wouldn't do, so...
Is there no pay off for the guy that gets gyped at the beginning?
Hmm...
I don't think TFTC really had an impact over here. I've been aware of it but, s'not really a cultural touchstone in the Empire. Dunno why, really, but there it is.
Often seems that these stories are sorta going in two directions at once. They're not complicated, so, they feel like good fodder for kids, but they also revel in cleavage and gore, so, not for kids.
Kinda seems to me they ought to have gone for one or t'other, but hey, not really my bag, baby. To be completely fair, the exact same accusation can be made of almost all Hammer Horror classics so it's probably just me.
I mean, like, the sisters are evil is two completely different ways but there seems to be no attempt to justify that. Kill daddy for the money but Pesci for spite? I get that being willing to kill works for both, but, I dunno.
Well the comics were for kids and the episodes are just straight adaptations for the most part with added gore and nudity.

Haha yes it's him.
@@JBSpookyReview nice!
