Season 5 is here.

“Death of Some Salesmen” was directed by Gilbert Adler, who co-wrote the story with AL Katz. They’re the team that also made Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice and Bordello of Blood, as well as several episodes of this show.

“Well, kiddies, I’m afraid our designer hanger offer has expired. Would somebody please get Mr. De La Renta out of here? Next up on the home chopping network, it’s time for the Crypt Keeper’s fashion boo-tique. Today, we’re featuring my full line of Apres Vie death care products. We’ve got everything from face scream to mas-scare-a. Try some. It’s the best thing you can do for…dem-ise. Or maybe I could interest you in tonight’s special. It’s a tasteless tidbit about a traveling cemetery plot salesmen who’s about to make a grave mistake. I call it “Death of Some Salesmen.””

Judd Campbell (Ed Begley Jr.) is a con artist selling cemetery plots that end up being scams. He starts with Mrs. Jones (Yvonne De Carlo) before moving on to the Pa Brackett (Tim Curry). Well, the whole Brackett family is played by Tim Curry and Campbell soon learns that they love to kill off traveling salesmen, starting with the head that he finds in the microwave. They want him to marry their daughter, but can Campbell outsell these maniacs?

The main reason to watch this? Tim Curry. He’s great, as always.

This story is based on “Death of Some Salesmen!” from Haunt of Fear #15. It was written by Al Feldstein and William Gaines and drawn by Jack Davis. The daughter is not in this story but instead, it’s about an older couple who test out products on the bodies of the men selling them.
