Judy, You're Not Yourself Today

Judy, You're Not Yourself Today may stand as one of the most provocative, unique offerings from the crypt. It's eccentric style and over the top performances make for a highly unusual experience. Is it good? Well, that's up for debate.

A kooky, pretentious couple find their relationship tested by a body-switching witch. One can't blame the actors as they're all immensely watchable and take the show to maniacal levels. There are actually a few laughs to be had here, folks.

But it's just quite uneven, jarringly so. It feels like one of the more obscure Tales from the Darkside episodes...and thats not a compliment. It's still better than most of today's television, at least.

Judy and Donald are a married couple that at the beginning bicker. While Donald is out for work she receives the visit from a door-to-door cosmetics saleswoman that is a witch in disguise. This witch sells Judy a necklace that gives the power of swap bodies with the ones that wear it. Her body is swapped also with another woman and when Donald returns home he is very confused because he can't distinguish his real wife from the witch. The result was very baffling too.

The acting was very bad by everyone and it looked even worse than that seen in a high school recital... it was THAT amateurish! And I was really confused when it was over because of its situation. Another hit and miss episode.

I have to admit this episode grows on you. It has such a strange tone that feels heavily inspired by David Lynch or something. At first I hated it but after seeing it a few times, I actually really like watching it. It won't be everyone's cup of tea but it might be yours.

Horrible overacting, comical silent-film style music throughout the episode. Nonsense and slapstick trash. What more appropriate tale could anybody ask for from the crypt?
