Directed by Elliot Silverstein (Cat Ballou, The Car) and written by Stanley Ralph Ross, who developed Wonder Woman for TV, this story has Jack (Kevin McCarthy) find the secret to youth in the woods. He gives it to his friends Harry (J.A. Preston) and Lucille (Madge Sinclair), but they keep it a secret from his wife Cynthia (Margot Kidder).

“Geronimo! So glad you could drop in, kill-seekers! Don’t worry about me, it only hearse when I laugh! Boy, that was good! It’s even better than hang-gliding! Of course, some folks would rather keep their feet on terra firma, like the people in tonight’s putrid piece. They’re spending a nice, quiet weekend in the woods, going *hack* to nature! I call this fetid fable…”Curiosity Killed.””

Cynthia has abused Jack for their entire marriage, so no one wants her to deage along with them, thanks to the Icarunda bulbs that Jack has found and that Lucille is cooking into a voodoo serum. Harry saved Jack’s life in the war, so he wants to repay him with a new life. Cynthia thinks they are trying to murder her, so when she learns that they are planning to get young without her, she ruins their plans, kills them and takes it for herself. The only problem? She gets mauled to death by a dog, who soon becomes a puppy.

This episode is based on a story from Shock Illustrated #3. It was written by Al Feldstein and drawn by Reed Crandall. This story is actually a revision of “Curiosity Killed…” from Tales from the Crypt #36 which was written by William Gaines and Feldstein and drawn by George Evans.
