Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to Lea Thompson, she found it difficult to perform love scenes with Brett Cullen because he is her close friend in real life. Her difficulty was compounded by the fact that her husband, Howard Deutch was directing her. She had to redub her dialogue in those scenes in post-production.
- GoofsThe calender had the same picture before and after the four months in the peddler's shop.
- Quotes
Crypt Keeper: Poor Sylvia, eh, kiddies? Guess she heard the old saying, "if looks could kill"... so she did! Haha! Just goes to show ya, if you wanna sell yourself, take a look in the mirror, first.
[the Crypt Keeper looks at his own reflection]
Crypt Keeper: Eurgh! Well, see you next time, boys and ghouls!
[laughs maniacally]

What Is Your Beauty Worth...?
Season one wavers in the delivery of this tale of a money-seeking prostitute willing to do anything to hook a rich man!
Offered a tight wad of cash for her beauty, a young streetwalker (Lea Thompson) sells her 'beauty' to an unscrupulous pawn shop owner. Thinking he's a nut, she immediately spends the money on landing a rich bachelor and begins her new life in glamor...until the first wrinkles appear...or could it just be stress? he he he
The episode is slightly amateurish, it's pacing a little dodgy, but the end ultimately revives it. The beginning line-up of season one is, indeed, a tough act to follow. And Lea Thompson does make a valiant effort as the lead but one is still slow to relating to such a despicable, immoral character.
