Our eighth episode of the series returns to the three segment format. The first "Act Break" has James Coco as a struggling play writer who literally blames his problems on everyone else. He manages to find a magic stone neck less that grants its beholder one wish, and he transports back in time to meet William Shakespeare. Of course things backfire, but, its pretty unspectacular, Coco sports some awful hair extensions, and I'm starting to think this series has a thing for magic necklaces and stones. The second "The Burning Man" has Piper Laurie and her young nephew going for a day at the lake in 1936 Kansas. They pick up and old man who warns of evils and that he's being followed by such. They dump him off after so long thinking he's insane, but, is he really telling the truth?. Pretty confusing episode I didn't really get it much it just ends with no real conclusion. Roberts Blossom does a good acting job though. The final "Dealer's Choice" has a bunch of friends around to play a card game one night. They later discover that one of them is the devil, and that there playing a game of life for there mortal souls. It has a nice cast which includes Morgan Freeman, Dan Hedaya, Barney Martin, Garrett Morris, and M. Emmett Walsh, with Wes Craven also returning to direct. But, its primarily played very lighthearted and the final isn't much to go on about. All in all a decent episode with at least two OK segments.
