Friday the 13th: The Series Ep. 68 My Wife as a Dog Review

My Wife as a Dog originally aired on February 19, 1990. This was an incredibly bizarre episode. There really are no words to describe how completely bizarre this episode was. It was, however, very effective. The cursed antique is a dog leash, the Aboriginal Leash. This leash can make dreams come true, but that can only happen if someone is strangled with the leash first. Our main villain, who is going through a rough divorce and a dog with a terminal illness, decides he wants his wife to be like a dog. Over the course of the episode, his dog gets healed and transforms into his wife, but only has the brains of a dog. His wife transforms into a dog. It's not The Shaggy Dog by any stretch. I actually found it quite creepy. The commentary on how people view their pets was also very striking and truthful. How far would one go to keep a pet they loved...it's a tough question that doesn't get asked too much. This is also the only episode where the main villain gets his hearts desire and lives to see and relish in it. It's a very bizarre episode.
