28- Lucky Stiff

This is one of the better episodes and has a fairly smooth story that flows between the first and second half. It's got a couple memorably gruesome scenes such as a man holding his spurting severed heart in his hand as it sprays all over his wife.

The story is nothing TALES FROM THE CRYPT hadn't already done a hundred times, but it's still fun. A man dies and his adulterous wife discovers he was buried with a winning lottery ticket and she uses then throws away her adultery playmate after she gets the ticket back. She's gets rich but is tormented constantly in the second half (by one of her undead husbands, come from beyond the grave to wreak revenge most foul? MAYBE, JUST MAYBE!).

Her first husband's performance is likable and entertaining, it's a shame he disappears after 5 minutes. Overall, this one's worth a look.
