Directed and written by Larry Wilson (Beetlejuice, The Little Vampire), this episode has Charlie (Travis Tritt) and Richard (Hank Azaria) working the night shift as security guards who get mixed up with the body stealing Dr. Orloff (Austin Pendleton). The lesson in this episode is to never murder a friend for a mad scientist.

“Yeah, kids these days with their long hair. You can’t even tell the boils from the ghouls. And when they do want a cut, they go to one of those fancy salons like Jose Slay-ber or Videad Sassoon. It’s enough to make you terror your hair out. Hmm. I guess that towel was a little too hot. Still, I think it’s a good look for you. Once it’s groan out, I’m sure you’ll love it. Which brings to mind the young men in tonight’s terror tale. They’re about to try a new scare style as well, in a delightful little die-job I call “Doctor of Horror.””

Ben Stein shows up as the bad boss and while this doesn’t have much of a story, it does have some gore. Sometimes, that’s enough.

This was based on “Doctor of Horror” from Vault of Horror #13. It was written by Al Feldstein and William Gaines and drawn by Graham Engels. It’s a different story, as Professor LeMonet digging up corpses to get more students into his class. By the end, though, he’s gotten greedy and starts paying criminals to murder people instead of waiting for bodies to expire.
