Next to Television Terror, this is one of my very favorite TFTC episodes and it sadly never seems to get much recognition. What are your thoughts on it? For me, only Television Terror surpasses it as my favorite TFTC episode. It hits all the right notes one wants from an EC-inspired Horror tale, in that it's equal parts scary and funny with a good, eerie atmosphere and ambience to it, and an incredibly loathesome antagonist who you can't wait to see get his and when he does it's incredibly satisfying. The nostalgia for this episode is high too, as I actually remember catching this when it originally aired on HBO back in 1993, right before Halloween, and the episode fits the Halloween season perfectly. I find it such a shame this episode isn't better recognized or received, but with so many other classic episodes throughout the show's run I suppose some are bound to be overlooked than others.

I think that's the one with Wesley Crusher and those sorority vampires.

That would be it. Also a pre-Entourage Kevin Dillon as the extremely loathesome Les Wilton.

I love this one and find it quite underrated. It's one of my favorites. Great cast, great creepy scenery, and an excellent twist at the end. I watched it when it first aired and it quickly became a definitive episode for me.

It always surprises me that this episode isn't cited as a favorite of more people. It's so entertaining and a fun watch for any occasion. I recall back when Fox was airing TFTC reruns in syndication they had this as their Halloween special and it fits the holiday perfectly for sure.
