Tales from the Crypt: The Man Who Was Death

The very first episode of Tales from the Crypt is narrated by this charmingly handsome man:

His name is Niles Talbot and he is the executioner at a penitentiary. That is, until the death penalty in his state is abolished and Niles finds himself out of a job. However, he continues his work of electrocuting murderers that the judiciary system failed to put behind bars (you know, like Dexter does).

He branches out after a while, but before he can fry a go-go dancer in her metal cage, he gets caught....right when the death penalty is reinstated. He faces the electric chair as badly as many before him, screaming and cursing and scared as hell.

Great kick-off episode!

8/10
