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]

Vanity and Greedy
The twenty-one year-old streetwalker Sylvia Vane (Lea Thompson) is narcissistic with the beauty of her face. After killing a pimp and stealing his jewels, she heads to a pawnshop to raise money to buy expensive clothes to seduce the wealthy bachelor Ronnie Price (Brett Cullen). The pawnbroker offers ten-thousand dollars for her beauty and advises that she has four months to retrieve it, and Sylvia believes he is crazy.
Sylvia succeeds in her intent and she moves to Ronnie's penthouse. Four months later, she finds wrinkles on her face and she remembers her debt with the pawnshop owner. Will she have time to revert the situation?
"Only Sin Deep" is another unforgettable show of Tales from the Crypt. The story of vanity and greedy of a shallow woman without heart and soul gives a moral lesson in the end. My vote is eight.
