This week, we're tackling another two episodes of&nbsp;<em><strong>Tales from the Crypt</strong></em>'s historic second season. First, we pull up a chair for the ultimate high-stakes poker game and a masterclass in psychological warfare... before trading the casino table for a wealthy estate to witness a toxic marriage push a couple to the absolute brink...</p>\n<p>And our guest is a horror academic and author, <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/profsaabbott/\">Prof. Stacey Abbott</a>...</p>\n<p><strong>~ [ 00:00:25 ] \"Cutting Cards\"</strong></p>\n<p>Two bitter, aging gamblers (<strong>Kevin Tighe</strong> &amp; <strong>Lance Henriksen</strong>) with a lifelong rivalry meet in a remote saloon to settle the score once and for all. When standard card games fail to produce a definitive winner, they escalate the stakes to a series of increasingly gruesome, body-chopping wagers.

Desperate to secure her fortune, he turns to a local voodoo priestess for a potent love potion. The concoction works perfectly, and the couple are soon wed—but he quickly discovers that \"love eternal\" comes with a gruesome, inescapable catch when even the grave cannot break the spell.</p>\n<p><strong>Connect With Us</strong></p>\n<ul>\n  <li><strong>Subscribe, Rate &amp; Review:</strong> If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave us a rating or review on your favourite podcast platform — it really helps the show grow!</li>\n  <li><strong>Socials &amp; Community:</strong> Find links to all our ⁠⁠<a href=\"https://linktr.ee/recrypted\">⁠<u>social media</u>⁠</a> right here⁠⁠, including our Instagram &amp; Website.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Network</strong></p>\n<ul>\n  <li>A proud part of the <a href=\"https://filmstories.co.uk\">⁠Film Stories⁠</a> Podcast Network.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Credits</strong></p>\n<ul>\n  <li><strong>Cover Art:</strong> ⁠⁠<a href=\"https://www.fiverr.com/bigfruit\">⁠<u>Ed Wishewsky⁠⁠</u>⁠</a>&nbsp;</li>\n  <li><strong>Theme Music:</strong> 'Hydra' by Dream Cave (via ⁠⁠⁠<a href=\"https://www.epidemicsound.com/\">⁠<u>Epidemic Sound⁠⁠⁠</u>⁠</a>)</li>\n</ul>","author_name":"Film Stories"}
