Frasier

Bulldog pulls a practical joke on Frasier, prompting Frasier to immediately devise a plan of revenge. At the same time, Niles and Daphne find themselves embroiled in a confrontation with a trick‑or‑treater.

Tales from the Crypt delivers a self‑contained episode that blends humour with a touch of mischief. As a programme within the long‑running series, this instalment follows the familiar format of a single, self‑sufficient story, presented in the show’s characteristic style. The central thread sees Bulldog pulling a practical joke on Frasier. The prank is so effective that Frasier immediately begins scheming his retaliation, determined not to let the slight go unanswered. At the same time, Niles and Daphne find themselves embroiled in an unexpected showdown with a trick‑or‑treater, turning a simple Halloween encounter into a full‑blown battle. Both storylines unfold side by side, offering a contrast between Frasier’s calculated revenge plot and the more chaotic, spontaneous clash that Niles and Daphne experience. The episode uses these parallel plots to keep the action lively, with each group dealing with their own brand of trouble. By the end of the episode, the viewer is left with a clear picture of how the characters respond to provocation—whether it’s a calculated counter‑move or an impromptu defence against a costumed intruder. The narrative stays focused on these interactions, providing a concise yet entertaining glimpse into the characters’ quick‑thinking responses.
