EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the last week of Tales from the Crypt content, as I got through all of the Perversions of Science episodes. Do you have another anthology you’d like me to tackle?

W.E.I.R.D. (Wilson Emery Institute for Research and Development) It is a place where the world’s most intelligent scientists get unlimited budgets to come up with whatever they want, all under the watch of Dr. Monochian (Ed O’Neill!). Three of the stories of this scientific lab form the basis of this TV movie, which seems to have been a pilot for a show.

When you see William Gaines’ name on this, know that’s because these three stories — like Tales from the Crypt, Two-Fisted Tales and Perversions of Science — were based on EC Comics. Specifically, stories from Weird Science and Weird Fantasy, the science fiction books of EC. Unlike the other shows based on the comics, these are all part of an overall tale and are all directed by the same person, William Malone.

In one, Dr. Dylan Bledsoe (Dana Ashbrook) is spending just as much time making a virus as he is trying to hook up with Dr. Noah Lane’s (Jime-True Frost) assistant Diane (Audie England, who was Kitana and Mileena on the Mortal Kombat TV show and was a girl rolling around in bed in Don Henley’s “Boys of Summer” video), all while robotics expert Lane tries to figure out if Bledsoe killed his last girlfriend, Catherine (Cyia Batten, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning). Meanwhile, Dr. Abby O’Reardon (Paula Marshall) and her husband Dr. Bryan Mayhew (Clayton Rohner) are constantly arguing — did any EC Comics creative have a good marriage? — and she wants a baby, despite all of that. And then there’s Dr. Patty Provost (Gina Ravera, Molly from Showgirls), who has figured out time travel, which leads to her brother Bob (Miguel A. Núñez Jr., Spider from Return of the Living Dead), a security guard, to sell out W.E.I.R.D.

Written by A.L. Katz, Gilbert Adler and Scott Nimerfro, this never reaches the levels of the other shows, but from all accounts — read The Schlock Pit — this was a troubled production. Does anyone know what comics this was based on?

You can watch this on Tubi.
