Enoch, the two-faced man, is consistently abused by an elderly man, Mr. Sickles (Gierasch) When Mr. Sickles purchases a Mummy that is over 2000 years old from Dr. Zachary Cling (Rolston) , weird things begin to happen. Not quite as weird as Enoch and The Mummy falling in love, giving birth to......THE CRYPT KEEPER! This episode is cool for a couple of reasons. The vibe is somewhat eerie and deeply twisted. I wouldn't call it a great episode, but it's definitely a step up from the past few episodes I've seen from season two. There are some very disturbing things in this show. Enoch was disturbing to look at, but we also get a creepy fat lady that laughs a lot and an eerie mummy. It manages to be watchable throughout, throwing in some frights here and there. The acting is very good. Stefan Gierasch is solid as the bitter old-man. Jeff Yagher is exceptional as the Enoch, the two-faced man. His love story with The Mummy was strangely endearing in a way. Mark Rolston plays a great weasel. The ending is what really makes this episode. It's how The Crypt Keeper was born! Any true fan of this show will let out their inner geek at that because we all love the little bastard. I don't think I'll ever watch it again, but it was a decent time-waster! An improvement to be sure. My only complaint was some of the dialog that didn't ring true. The carnival mirrored the time period precisely, I just didn't care for the dialog. "I couldn't play poker worth s****" I could be wrong, but I don't think people said stuff like that back then.
The Crypt Keeper was on fire when it came to the one-liners! "The Mummy is my Mommy!"
6.4/10
