Complete story — includes the ending

Jim Korman ( Harry Anderson ), a cartoonist who works on the Tales from the Crypt comic, is put-upon by his shrewish and abusive wife Mildred ( Colleen Camp ) to take experimental fertility pills. Later that night, a policewoman, Lorelei Phillips ( Cynthia Gibb ), is saved from a rapist ( Richard Schiff ) when a monster suddenly emerges from a washing machine and tears the rapist's head off. Seeing the same monster on an issue of Tales from the Crypt, along with other monsters that were sighted recently, Lorelei interrogates Jim, believing that he is somehow making his drawings come to life. Tom Woodruff Jr. performs the utility monsters. The Cryptkeeper makes a reference to Tales from the Crypt starting out as a magazine at the beginning of the episode.
