Dig That Cat... He's Real Gone

Unlike the two prior episodes of "Tales from the Crypt", this one is far less serious in tone and is actually a dark comedy.

It begins with a loser (Joe Pantoliano) being recruited by a mad scientist to be his test subject. It seems that the doc is going to implant part of a cat in a human....and he assumes this will give the human 9 lives. Oddly, it does work...and instead of enjoying a long life or doing heroic things, Ulric decides to earn money on the carnival circuit and he can die and revive again and again...nine times....or so he thinks.

In addition to Joe Pantoliano playing a doofus, Robert Wahl and others provide additional doofus color to the episode. You can't take it the least bit seriously....as the show never does. Mildly entertaining and silly...and worth a look.
