Episode: “Smile
Time”, in which puppets on a preschool TV show break through the fourth wall to
suck the life essence from young viewers until they are reduced to horrifically
grinning corpses. Fun! Actually, it is, because vampire-P.I. hero Angel ends up
getting turned into a puppet, too. This one has it all, kids: very effective horror
with all those dead tots and the really, really disturbing sexual overtones of
the essence-sucking and great comedy from Angel’s co-workers when they discover
that their brooding leader has been transformed into a hunk of felt.
