Ep 8. Easel Kill Ya

In Easel Kill Ya, the eighth episode of season 3 of Tales From the Crypt, we are introduced to a struggling artist named Claude (played by Tim Roth) who is desperate to make it in the art world. Despite his talent, he has been unable to sell any of his paintings and is on the brink of giving up when he receives a mysterious package in the mail.

The package contains a strange painting that seems to have a life of its own. Claude becomes obsessed with deciphering the meaning behind the painting, which leads him down a dark path that threatens to consume him.

As Claude delves deeper into the mystery of the painting, he begins to experience strange and disturbing visions. He becomes increasingly erratic and paranoid, and his relationship with his girlfriend Madeline (played by Jennifer Grey) begins to deteriorate.

Despite the warnings of his mentor (played by Roy Brocksmith), Claude becomes convinced that unlocking the secrets of the painting is the key to his success as an artist. But as he investigates further, he discovers that the painting has a dark and deadly history.

Realizing too late the true nature of the painting, Claude finds his life spiraling out of control as he becomes trapped in a twisted and terrifying nightmare.

Easel Kill Ya is a chilling tale of obsession and madness that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. With intense performances from Roth and Grey, along with stunning visuals and a haunting score, this episode is a standout in the Tales From the Crypt series.
