Yes, I have been heaping praise on this show all season; well it really does deserve it. I literally get excited wondering what they\u2019ll do next and this week; episode 5 takes a cool sly turn. The episode not only gives us a classic supernatural segment, they mixed in three callbacks (that I counted, there could be more) coupled with dare I say an unspoken political message. <\/p>\n

\u201cNight of the Paw\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

A mortician saves the life of a woman who shows up at his door one night, but unbeknownst to her, the man had wished for a murderer to come put him out of his misery… maybe she wasn’t so fortunate after all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Written by: John Esposito
\nDirected by: John Harrison
\nCast: Bruce Davison, Hannah Barefoot, Susannah Devereux, Grace Toso, Ryan Clay Gwaltney<\/p>\n

Writer Esposito does a good job retelling the monkey\u2019s paw narrative, and doing it in true Creepshow<\/strong> way. There are of course some nice comedic and good suspenseful moments where of course you are waiting to see what happens next. <\/p>\n

Word of advice: never trust a house that has Queen Anne furniture past the year 1988 – just saying. <\/p>\n

Bruce Davison is good in his role as the grieving widower, and Hannah Barefoot also is entertaining to watch. There is a nice cemetery and a good morgue scene for us this week in this segment.<\/p>\n
