Tales from the Crypt

YOU KNOW, KIDDIES, AFTER A NIGHT OF SLITHERING THROUGH THE SICKENING SLIME

OF MY CRAWLY CRYPT,

I TAKE A TIP FROM THE MARQUIS DE SADE.

HE LIKES TO UNWIND WITH A LITTLE RED-HOT POKER.

TONIGHT'S TALE FROM MY COLLECTION OF TERROR TOMES

IS ABOUT A COUPLE OF REAL SHARPIES

WHO'LL DO ANYTHING FOR A STAB AT THE JACKPOT.

SO, ANTE UP, FELLAS.

THE GAME'S ABOUT TO BEGIN.

THE GAME'S ABOUT TO BEGIN.

WELL, HEY. IT'S RENO CREBIS.

HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN A LONG TIME.

WELCOME BACK, RENO.

HEY, BABE. I'VE BEEN A YEAR IN VEGAS.

YOU STILL GOT THAT NO-LIMIT TABLE IN THE BACK?

ANYBODY THERE NOW?

ONLY MR. FORNEY. YOU KNOW HIM, DON'T YOU?

I DON'T NEED NO INTRO TO SAM FORNEY.

FREE DRINK.

HAVE A GOOD TIME.

SURE. THANKS.

SURE. THANKS.

GIVE ME A WHISKEY SHOOTER, WILL YOU?

GIVE ME A WHISKEY SHOOTER, WILL YOU?

THIS PLACE LOOKS JUST ABOUT THE SAME AS EVER.

NOTHING MUCH CHANGES. WHEN WERE YOU HERE LAST?

ABOUT A YEAR AGO.

WELL, THE GUY YOU GOT TO WATCH OUT FOR HERE

IS SAM FORNEY.

HE'S ONE BIG-TIME PLAYER, LET ME TELL YOU.

HE AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT A TWO-BIT HUSTLER.

I BEAT HIM LOTS OF TIMES IN VEGAS.

RENO CREBIS, RIGHT?

RENO CREBIS, RIGHT?

YOU CALLED IT, PARDO.

HALF-A-GRAND HOWDY.

I THOUGHT IT WAS YOU.

LISTEN. I HEARD A STORY, AND I WAS WONDERING IF IT WAS TRUE.

I HEARD THAT YOU WON $50,000

OFF SOME SOUTH AMERICAN DICTATOR

IN ONE CARD GAME.

ONE HAND.

HIGH ROLLERS, HUH?

MUST BE SOME KIND OF LIFE FOR GUYS LIKE YOU

AND SAM FORNEY.

YEAH, THE FAST LANE.

REAL GREAT.

WELL, IT'S NICE MEETING YOU, RENO.

NICE TALKING TO YOU.

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT.

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT.

I USED TO HAVE A REGULAR GAME BACK HERE

WITH GIBBONS AND NORRIS AND A BUNCH OF THE BOYS.

THEY DON'T COME AROUND HERE ANYMORE.

I CLEANED THEM ALL OUT.

I GUESS THEY WEREN'T USED TO MY KIND OF COMPETITION.

YOU TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING, SAM?

YEAH, I AM, RENO.

I'M JUST REMINDING YOU I'M THE BEST.

I WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO FORGET THAT.

YOU BETTER SEE A DOCTOR

'CAUSE YOUR BRAIN HAS GONE TO SHIT.

I GUESS YOU'RE JUST REMEMBERING

THE 10,000 BUCKS I TOOK OFF YOU LAST TIME WE MET.

COURSE, I WAS STILL DRIVING AROUND

THAT CADDY THAT I WON OFF YOU, NOW WASN'T I?

ALWAYS WONDERED HOW YOU EXPLAINED THAT ONE TO YOUR WIFE.

HAD SHE ALREADY RUN OFF WITH THAT PIANO PLAYER?

MAYBE I OUGHT TO JUST LEAP OVER THIS TABLE

AND WIPE THAT SMILE OFF YOUR FACE.

I GOT A TIP FOR YOU, RENO.

YOU TAKE ON EVERYBODY THAT LAUGHS AT YOU,

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A LIFETIME OF WORK.

NOBODY LAUGHS AT ME.

SURE, THEY DO!

THEY ALL LAUGH AT YOU!

THEY LAUGH AT YOUR WIFE. THEY LAUGH AT YOUR CLOTHES.

THEY LAUGH AT THIS DUMB REDNECK COWBOY WAY

YOU GOT OF TALKING AND THINKING.

YOU'RE WORKING ME, FORNEY.

YOU'RE WORKING ME.

YEAH, I'M WORKING YOU.

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

I LOVE WATCHING YOU ITCH.

I LOVE WATCHING YOU ITCH.

HEARD YOU WENT BUST IN VEGAS.

YOU HEARD WRONG.

REALLY? A LOT OF PEOPLE TOLD ME ABOUT IT.

REALLY? A LOT OF PEOPLE TOLD ME ABOUT IT.

DEAL 'EM.

ONLY ONE PROBLEM-- YOU'RE BROKE.

I GOT 100 BUCKS IN MY POCKET.

I AIN'T ASKIN' YOU TO STAKE ME.

100 BUCKS DON'T MEAN NOTHIN' TO ME,

BUT THERE IS ONE THING THAT I WANT,

AND I WANT IT REAL BAD.

I WANT YOU OUT OF MY LIFE FOR GOOD.

I REALLY DON'T LIKE YOU, RENO.

YOU SHOW UP, AND RIGHT AWAY,

THINGS JUST GO TO SHIT.

5 OR 6 TIMES YOU AND I HOOKED UP,

AND SOMEBODY ALWAYS GETS BURNED IN THE END,

SO I'M WILLING TO PLAY-- SEE WHO LEAVES--

CLEARS OUT OF TOWN, OUT OF STATE FOR GOOD.

OK, WE GOT A DEAL?

YOU'RE ON.

I PREFER TO ROLL THE DICE.

THE LOSER HIGHTAILS IT OUT OF TOWN.

SHAKE THEM OUT.

SHAKE THEM OUT.

BOXCARS. TOO BAD, SAM.

I GUESS YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GAS UP YOUR WAGON.

I GUESS YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GAS UP YOUR WAGON.

OHH, I'M RED-HOT NOW!

COME ON. COME ON. YOU WANT TO GO AGAIN?

SON OF A BITCH.

I GOT A BETTER WAY OF SETTLING THIS SHIT.

YOU WANT TO FUCK WITH ME? YOU WANT A DUEL?

ALL RIGHT. LET'S DO IT!

RUSSIAN ROULETTE.

YOU MEAN JUST YOU, ME AND A GUN?

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN.

YOU'RE NUTS.

YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND ME?

YOU GOT NO CHARACTER.

I GOT A .44 OUT IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT

OF MY CAR.

OF MY CAR.

LET'S GO. LET'S DO IT.

NO BACKING OUT.

YEAH. LET'S DO IT, RENO.

YEAH. LET'S DO IT, RENO.

RIGHT OUT HERE IN FRONT OF GOD AND EVERYBODY.

IF YOU LIKE, I'LL GO FIRST.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT WITH ME, SAM. IT'S YOUR GUN.

SO LONG AS YOU DON'T MIND, I'LL BE THE ONE THAT SPINS THE CHAMBER.

SO LONG AS YOU DON'T MIND, I'LL BE THE ONE THAT SPINS THE CHAMBER.

YOU'RE DISTRACTING ME! I CAN'T THINK!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO THINK.

OF COURSE YOU GOT TO THINK.

OF COURSE YOU GOT TO THINK.

THINKING'S THE FUN PART OF IT.

THINKING ABOUT IT...

THINKING ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

THINKING ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

LISTENING TO THAT LITTLE WHEEL OF FORTUNE

CLICK AND TURN INTO PLACE

WHEN YOU EASE BACK THE HAMMER...

FEELING THAT METAL GETTING WARM

AGAINST YOUR SKIN...

WONDERING WHAT IT'S GONNA BE LIKE

TO FEEL YOUR BRAINS BLOWN OUT

THROUGH THE SIDE OF YOUR HEAD...

WONDERING WHAT COMES AFTER,

IF ANYTHING, OR BLACK...
