She is told not to bother mentioning the daily specials. Just as another couple comes in they are served by another pretty hostess named Jersey. Some of the guests are heard commenting on how delicious it is and how the cook has really out done himself.
Which is a bowl of what appears to be green pea soup. All around we see senior citizen couples immensely enjoying the restaurant's top dish. A pretty young female hostess named Nonnie Walker, welcomes them to the restaurant and takes them to their table. Next we see the inside of a fine restaurant called "The Wild Boar". Then slowly a snake comes hissing and crawling up Paul's lap leaving him terrified and screaming in protest. The voice tells him: "It knows what scares you! a couple times, while laughing in a sinister tone. Then the wall in front of Paul begins to slide down to reveal a large stone winged Gargoyle statue. He is told to sit down and when he does the chair automatically locks him in place. Then a voice is heard speaking into the room. The story begins when a young man named Paul is lead into what seems to be a dark room with large fans running on the walls. Then he submits his story for the approval of The Midnight's Society, calling his story "The Tale of the Dangerous Soup"įrank, tells the story. Or it will eat you alive, Frank throws in the campfire dust to make the fire intensify. The kind that every person has to stand up to. His story is about fear, the kind that is different for every person. But there is still some dark place inside that makes your hands sweat and your mouth go dry. like example being in the attic, cause there's nothing in it that can hurt you, and a bird can't really hurt a person either. Sam just with her mouth opened stares in shock, and Gary and Kiki high-five each other with Kiki applauding him for admitting it.įrank then proceeds to explain, that everyone has something that scares them, although it shouldn't. He openly confesses to his friends what he once denied before. Frank then proceeds to sit down on the storyteller's chair. Tucker calling Frank tough guy asks him what is afraid of?

Kiki, says that she is afraid of dogs because she was bitten by when she was a kid, and whenever she sees one she just crosses the street.

It's definitely a perfect episode to watch during Halloween and evokes a strong Halloween feeling for me.That evening the group is all standing around the campfire and talking about what they're really afraid of. It's a shame it's not better known and IMO, episodes like this epitomize what TFTC is all about Horror that's both fun and horrific in equal measures, and has some truly despicable antagonists getting what they deserve. This episode is a blast and makes for a perfect companion piece to Television Terror. Good, eerie atmosphere too with the house setting, which definitely gives off an incredibly dark and sinister vibe.

Has one of the most loathesome TFTC antagonists in Les Wilton, played to perfection by Kevin Dillon (who'd later play a similarly destestable character in an episode of the Creepshow TV series). It's equal parts funny and scary but definitely leans far more into the latter when it gets to the third act, and has an awesome twist ending that's among my favorites of the show. I fondly remember catching this when it premiered on HBO way back in October 1993, just before Halloween, and it was a perfect episode to coincide with the holiday. In my opinion it's extremely underrated and overlooked, not often being mentioned or making many favorites' lists. One of my all-time favorite TFTC episodes right next to Television Terror (an episode it shares some strong similarities with).
