Tales from the Crypt: For Cryin' Out Loud starts as rock concert promoter Marty Slash (Lee Arenberg) is visiting an ear specialist (Mark Lowenthal) about a strange sound he keeps hearing, the doctor advises him to give up the rock business as he has damaged his hearing. That night while at an Iggy Pop & the Weazel's gig that is supposed to raise money for charity Marty decides to steal the 1 million dollars that the concert raised, however things don't work out exactly as he planned as his equally greedy banker Mrs Kilbasser (Katey Segal) wants a piece of it & that strange noise in his ears almost seems to develop a life of it's own...
This Tales from the Crypt story was episode 8 from season 2, co-written & directed by Jeffrey Price For Cryin' Out Loud is one of my favourite Tales from the Crypt stories I've seen so far. The script by Price & Peter S. Seaman was based on a comic book story in 'Shock SuspenStories' & has a fantastic streak of black humour running through it that really entertains & amuses, some of the dialogue is very funny. This tale from the crypt also has a nice moral message about listening to your conscience otherwise it'll play on your mind, obviously it relays this in a highly entertaining, bizarre & unique way that most Tales from the Crypt do so well & it doesn't take itself seriously. I like everything about For Cryin' Out Loud, the plot & the great twist ending, the over-the-top character's that feel like they belong in a comic strip & they suit the material perfectly. I loved this episode, it's funny, it's dark, it's very entertaining, it's a whole load of fun, at only 30 odd minutes it moves along like a rocket & even the musically themed Crypt Keeper (John Kassir) opening & closing segments are good fun as usual.
This one looks great & like most Tales from the Crypt episodes it has strong production values throughout, there's some gore as someone has their head bashed in with a guitar & a broken swab in someone's ear is slowly pulled out but this episode is more about the story which is great. The acting is strong especially Arenberg who is simply brilliant in an energetic & highly entertaining performance that's virtually makes this episode worth watching on it's own, rocker Iggy Pop has a cameo & swears a lot.
For Cryin' Out Loud is a brilliant tale from the crypt & one of my favourite's out of the ones that I've seen, an absolute must for fans of the show & I'm sure many would enjoy this story in it's on right, definitely worth a watch for those with a twisted sense of humour.
