Friday the 13th: The Series Ep. 4 A Cup of Time Review

A Cup of Time originally aired on October 19, 1987. This is the best episode since the first one. It's not as good as the first episode, but this episode with the makeup effects is really creepy. The antique is a tea cup that has swappers ivy panted on it. You get someone else to drink it, the ivy comes to life and chokes you. It gives you what you want. This woman Sara (or Lady Dye) wanted youth. She went around in the park killing homeless adults just so she could keep her youth. Once she looses the cup, her entire body starts to deteriorate and it is truly something to be seen. It amazes me how creepy the effects are on this show. They really took this show seriously. It's not a joke like Freddy's Nightmares was, this show deserves a lot of respect. This episode in particular dealt with temptation and how people treat it differently. Some people will do ANYTHING to get what they want, like Sara, who killed numbers of people in the park, just to stay young. While on the other hand, the old woman tries the same thing when she steals the cup, but she can't go through with it. It's an incredibly moral show. Watching people kill each other is never viewed as a good thing, a trap perhaps the movie series stepped into. I'm just always looking forward to the next episode, a great sign.
