Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to Lea Thompson, she found it difficult to perform love scenes with Brett Cullen because he is her close friend in real life. Her difficulty was compounded by the fact that her husband, Howard Deutch was directing her. She had to redub her dialogue in those scenes in post-production.
- GoofsThe calender had the same picture before and after the four months in the peddler's shop.
- Quotes
Crypt Keeper: Poor Sylvia, eh, kiddies? Guess she heard the old saying, "if looks could kill"... so she did! Haha! Just goes to show ya, if you wanna sell yourself, take a look in the mirror, first.

Crypt Keeper: Eurgh! Well, see you next time, boys and ghouls!

Featured review
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Looks can kill your soul and spirit.
"Only Sin Deep" one of the earliest and best crypt episodes teaches a good moral lesson that beauty isn't everything! Lea Thompson is good as a New York City street walker who wants to make it rich and big and find the right guy, so after robbing her pimp of jewels she pawns them. Only the big mistake is made the biggest mistake of all is her beauty is pawned. So after living a good lifestyle slowly but surely her looks go down and down. This episode teaches a good moral lesson you can't sell your inner self especially beauty, because it destroys the soul and spirit. One of the better crypt episodes due to the plot and acting but most of all the moral lesson.
