Twilight Zone – Crazy as a Soup Sandwich (04/01/89) Posted on May 21, 2019 by don. I have honestly gone back and forth for 2 weeks on whether this is a great episode or just unwatchable shit. "Crazy as a Soup Sandwich" is the sixty-third episode and the twenty-eighth episode of the third season (1988–89) of the television series The Twilight Zone.The episode was written by author Harlan Ellison, who also wrote for the original 1959 series.The episode's script would later be adapted into a segment of the NOW Comics' comic book in the 1990's. Underworld kingpin Nino Lancaster battles an angry demon named Volkerps for the soul of unfortunate Arky Lochner. A demonic creature, in the shape of a cloud, claims in rather colorful language that Arky is a fool and shouldn't have tried to outwit him. Arky runs out of the shop with one of Nino's goons.

Apparently, Nino managed to get away but just barely. The penultimate episode of THE NEW TWILIGHT ZONE, CRAZY AS A SOUP SANDWICH tells a story of demonic pacts and sinister twists - unfortunately as a comedy. He runs into the office of Mr. Nino Lancaster and begs Nino for help from the demon, even though he owes Nino a great deal of money. In the demon's moment of indecision, Arky runs off and into a building housing Nino's Toys and Imports. Arky claims he still has two days before the demon has the right to do anything to him. A petty con man named Arky Lochner fumbles and stumbles down a dark alley with something following him. I guess they just didn't have the guts to give this type of tale a serious spin on a low budget, but the choice of comedy is a shame as it wastes the talents of writer Harlan Ellison. Nino tells Volkerps to cancel the contract with Arky and give him a million dollars, so as to avoid a severe punishment. He sends his goons to get a hundred gallons of lead paint and cover every inch of the office, ten times over. It uses a garish color palette, something you would expect from Tales from the Crypt.

First, Nino wants to know how Arky found this demon. I guess they just didn't have the guts to give this type of tale a serious spin on a low budget, but the choice of comedy is a shame as it wastes the talents of writer Harlan Ellison. The only problem is the horses all died as they crossed the finish line, either packed full of dope or of other maladies, which caused Arky to not win a cent despite the fact the horses won.Nino, oddly enough, doesn't appear surprised and decides to help Arky. Nino then leaves to presumably get something to help him defeat the demon.Nino returns with a small stone box and waits for Volkerps to arrive around midnight.

Arky claims a woman named Cassandra Fishbein, who runs a beauty shop, located the demon for him.

Alluding to the fact that soup, a liquid, would not be a sensible sandwich filling. But Nino shows up, dusting himself off and smoke coming off him. Arky tries to explain that the money lent to him by Nino was spent to make a deal with a demon named Volkerps to pick horse winners in exchange for his soul.

And it’s not even a close call — it is decidedly one or the other. Apparently, Nino had dealt with Volkerps' father and trapped him within the box too.

Cassandra calls on Volkerps, but he kills her and then turns his eyes to Nino.

As it turned out Arky did get 42 winners to bet from Volkerps but they ended up dropping dead just before they crossed the finish line or being disqualified by the stewards for having illegal drugs in their system.Looking for something to watch?
