Another be-careful-what-you-wish-for story. This one works better than the previous one (#94, The Crack in the Wall)

A pretty terrifying spin on the old "Monkey's Paw" story. Most disturbing element of early CBSRMT's is that good people can have tragic ends. Suzanne Grossman's acting is especially effective here, especially when she finds out how she got 15 grand via a wish. Chilling stuff.

As stated above, this is a modernized version of "The Monkey's Paw" albeit with a much creepier second wish. I don't wish to spoil, especially to those who have not read "The Monkey's Paw," but this episode should be gripping for both people familiar and unfamiliar with the source material. Supernatural wishes.

A retelling of "The Monkey's Paw" involving an antique dealer, a cop, and a small statue that grants wishes. Lame retelling of a great story.

Another "Monkey's Paw" rip off... and not a very good one at that. Arbitrary ending.
