Ghouls and boils, welcome back to the mausoleum! This week, we tackle another two episodes of Tales from the Crypt's second season.

\n

First up, we head to a lonely farmhouse for a lesson in unrequited love and makeshift scarecrows... before trading the countryside for a comedy club in a cautionary tale of talent, rivalry, and inhuman accomplices...

\n

And our guest is an Assistant Lecturer in Film & English at the University of Alberta, it's Murray Leeder.

Mary Jo (Patricia Arquette) is a young woman trapped working on a farm run by a cruel couple. Her only comfort becomes a scarecrow she believes is real and in love with her. However, the situation takes a dark turn, proving that three's a crowd—but a four is downright deadly.

~ [ 00:32:00 ] \"The Ventriloquist's Dummy\"

\n

Albert (Bobcat Goldthwait) is a young, aspiring ventriloquist who tracks down his childhood idol, the legendary but reclusive Billy Goldman (Don Rickles). Desperate for advice to fix his terrible act, Albert manages to book a meeting with his hero, but as he gets closer to the old master, he uncovers a grotesque and horrifying secret about the true nature of Billy's former stage partner.
