Directed by Paul Abascal, who started as a makeup artist, and written by Scott Nimerfro, who wrote eleven episode of this show, this episode starts with the Tales from the Crypt pinball machine.

“Tonight’s tale concerns a man with 3 balls. What do you know? Par for the corpse! 10 killion points! Is this fun or what? Oh, hello, kiddies. Don’t mind me if I’m carrion on, but I’ve really groan to love this game. I could goo all night! Which brings to mind tonight’s terror tale. It’s about a couple of game players who are about to find out what happens when you don’t slay by the rules. I call it “Oil’s Well That Ends Well.””

I’ve been wanting to share these pictures for a long time. They come from Hollywood Candy in Omaha, Nebraska, a movie-themed candy and variety store.

Carl (Lou Diamond Phillips) — or maybe his name is Jerry — and his girlfriend Gina (Priscilla Presley) just pulled off multiple scams, starting with convincing her husband Larry (John Kassir, The Cryptkeeper) to fake his death, then killing him, then convincing a bunch of Southern millionaires (Noble Willingham, Alan Ruck, Rory Calhoun and Steve Kahan) to buy a cemetery because there’s oil underground. But that’s not enough and the quest for oil ends up wiping out nearly everyone.

This is based on “Oil’s Well That Ends Well!” from Tales from the Crypt #37. It was written by Al Feldstein and William Gaines and drawn by George Evans.
