Horrorfest 2015: Cravenfest - The Twilight Zone: Dealer's Choice

DEALER’S CHOICE is a real treat and a good example of the strength of a show like THE TWILIGHT ZONE – it’s packed with wall-to-wall talent and shows how versatile an anthology show can really be, focusing on comedy this time, even though there’s still a supernatural element.

So, you’ve got a bunch of dudes meeting up for their usual poker game. But check out who’s sitting around the table: Morgan Freeman, M. Emmet Walsh and Dan Hedaya. Not only that but we’ve got Garrett Morris of SNL fame and Barney Martin of Seinfeld’s Dad fame.

It’s tough to describe the premise of the episode without giving away one of the surprises, but I’ll do it anyway: Dan Hedaya turns out to be Satan and the guys end up playing for their lives.

It’s so cool to see something like this where every single performance is great. Craven must have had a blast working with these guys, all seasoned pros. This segment left me wanting more. Who knew the 1980s TWILIGHT ZONE was so good?
