![]() ![]() "Don't move! I'm calling the police!" He says, yeah that one always works when directed at someone holding a gun. Lea Thompson was a blast as the crazy hooker running around shooting everybody! All poor Brett Cullen was guilty of was loving her and then failing to recognise her when she turns into a decrepit granma. She must have been a complete idiot to make a deal with a man looking like that, ten grand just for a face mould?! And was she deaf, did she not hear him chanting over that mud bowl? And she knew that he had at least one unhappy customer already! The reason that he was stealing the beauty seemed a little pointless and futile to me, I mean wouldn't it have made more sense if it was so that he could bring his wife back from the dead? To his credit he never actually deceives her though, it's her own fault for being late! The weird masks in his cabinet visual is echoed much later in "Only Skin Deep" only with real faces. I also always loved the classic mysterious benefactors with sinister ulterior motives that dabble in dark magics, and Britt Leach in this one was a real doozy as the scuzzy pawnbroker with rotted yellow teeth that made him look especially slimy and loathsome. So I usually find stories that feature themes about inner beauty and masks to be very appealing and interesting, and so for me the plot of this one had a solid premise for it to center on, even if they don't do all that much with it. ![]() This episode features a super-eighties makeup montage with an obnoxious beat and whip cracks and panther roars and everything, my goodness. This one's like Pretty Woman, only ~scary!~ These first season episodes sure do have a distinct eighties vibe to them compared to the later ones, it's uncanny how much the basic style and tone did change within just one year. ![]()
