“Cutting Cards!” is from Tales From the Crypt #32 and was written by Al Feldstein and William Gaines and drawn by Fred Peters.
Directed by Walter Hill, this episode is exactly the episode I love from this show.
Reno (Lance Henriksen) and Sam (Kevin Tighe) are a pair of hardcore gamblers who don’t play for fun. They literally put their bodies on the line to try and destroy each other at a variety of games, ending up in a hospital barely alive and still trying to win.
It’s simple but sometimes simple is what you want.
Roy Brocksmith, who was also in the last episode, plays a bartender. He was in three episodes of the show.
Seriously, this episode is so good that when another is bad, it actually upsets me. This is the promise that this show had. Two actors going all out, just like their characters, trying to kill it no matter what it takes.
