The Dads break down Morton Downey Jr.’s wonderfully obnoxious performance, the episode’s creepy haunted-house atmosphere, its darkly hilarious take on sensationalist television, and the surprisingly ahead-of-its-time use of a live-camera perspective that feels like a precursor to the found-footage horror that would become popular years later.Is “Television Terror” one of the scariest episodes of Tales From The Crypt? Is Horton Rivers the ultimate horror-TV asshole? And just how far would YOU go for ratings?Tune in… if you dare!
