Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to Lea Thompson, she found it difficult to perform love scenes with Brett Cullen because he is her close friend in real life. Her difficulty was compounded by the fact that her husband, Howard Deutch was directing her. She had to redub her dialogue in those scenes in post-production.
- GoofsThe calender had the same picture before and after the four months in the peddler's shop.
- Quotes
Crypt Keeper: Poor Sylvia, eh, kiddies? Guess she heard the old saying, "if looks could kill"... so she did! Haha! Just goes to show ya, if you wanna sell yourself, take a look in the mirror, first.

Crypt Keeper: Eurgh! Well, see you next time, boys and ghouls!

One of the All Time Greatest Episodes
This particular episode of the series does not get a whole lot of love from fans. I think due to the fact that this episode came relatively early in the series history, when it didn't establish a wide fan base is a big reason why its underrated. Also, its not exactly a story in the classic sense of Tales. Its not scary, or gory or horrifying. But it is mysterious, and a dark moral tale that reminds me of old Twilight Zone episodes.
Its a classic story of a greedy young woman who sells her beauty to a pawn shop owner for $10,000. However, the pawn shop owner gives her 4 months to the day to change her mind, and she immediately laughs him off, and goes on her way to woo a wealthy man with her newfound fortune. What happens next is interesting and freaky as we uncover the real reason for the pawn shop owner buying her beauty, and the consequences the young woman faces for her greediness.
