Episode: “The
Ventriloquist’s Dummy”, in which lousy, aspiring ventriloquist Bobcat
Goldthwait longs to learn the secrets of puppet-master Don Rickles. Rickles was
once the greatest in the business, but now he’s retired, and apparently, hooked
on dope. Not quite, boils and ghouls. The secrets behind Rickles’s syringe and miraculous
ventriloquism skills are too amazing, too bizarre, too disgusting to reveal
here. However, I will say that “The Ventriloquist’s Dummy” was the talk of the
high school halls after it aired in 1990, and it is most certainly one of the
most memorable tales The Crypt Keeper ever dredged up.
