The fear you can hear was screaming in this episode. The creepy-meter was ringing as well. Mystery Theater toted itself as hosting tales from the macabre while rarely do any of its episodes evoke fear. Not so with "Give the Devil his Due." Fantastic all the way around. 5 stars. Lisener beware, this episode involves references to the devil and Satan. If that scares you avoid this episode. Also, there is a strange tick through the entire episode every 3 seconds; you barely notice it after the first, you notice it all the way through. Stick with it, this is a classic episode.

Great episode. The ending was like I expected. Alexandra just turned 50 years old and was so desperate to be young again so she could dance again. Alexandra did not care what she had to sacrifice even if it meant her soul. I gave this episode five stars.

An aging former ballerina longs for the ovations she heard while in the prime of her career. She seeks medical assistance through a plastic surgeon but leaves because the doctor explains that the entire aging process cannot be reversed. She then elects to sell her soul and learns a harsh lesson in dealing with the devil.

A vain dancer decries her age and longs for the heady days of youthful beauty and fabulous success she had as a young world-renown ballerina. She wants desperately to recapture her youth and beauty going so far as to make a pact with a warlock who promises to make her young again if she is willing to pay the price and meet the conditions. Of course she jumps at the chance… Terrific twist at the end… be careful what you ask for, you might just get it!
