Year: 1989
Season 01 - Episode 3
Plot: A carnival showman is buried alive for his grand finale. Through flashback he tells the viewers how he was formerly a homeless man who underwent a doctor's experiment to transfer a cat's nine lives to him.
Dig That Cat happens to be the first episode that runs through my mind when someone brings up Tales From The Crypt. Maybe it's because it was the first episode on a 6 hour vhs tape full of the Cryptkeeper that my father made for me as a kid, or maybe the idea of stealing lives from a cat is so kooky that it made the episode truly stand out.
The plot is ripped directly from pages of the haunt of fear, and holds up pretty solid next to the comic even quoting it a few times. Haunt Of Fear always had my favorite stories out of the three which is another reason this episode has stuck around in my brain for so long. And now for your viewing pleasure... Dig That Cat...He's Real Gone.
