Many fans believe the twist ending to this episode is very similar to Alfred Hitchcock's classic horror film, Psycho (1960).

[Opening wraparound segment with the Crypt Keeeper dressed as an airline attendant on an airplane.]
The Crypt Keeper (through the intercom): Good evening, creeps, and welcome aboard Tales from the Crypt Scarelines flight 666, offering direct service from your living room straight to hell. [laughs] As we will be experiencing some tur-boo-lence, we recommend that you keep your seatbelts fastened, and your vomit bags handy. So slip on your dead-sets and get ready for tonight's in-fright entertainment. [talks regularly] It's a nasty tale about my favorite kind of ghoul: dread-heads. I call it, "Came the Dawn".
[Closing wraparound segment with the Crypt Keeeper in an electric chair.]
The Crypt Keeper: Hmm...I know they say blondes have more fun, but you gotta admit: redheads really know how to swing. [laughs] So, 'til next time, kiddies. I hope you'll excuse me, but I've got a little private business to take care of. It's the only way to fry. [laughs] I've always wanted to join the Mile-Die Club. [electrocutes self; laughs] (edit)

Came the DawnSuperb "Revealing" We never did find out what was "Norma's" real name was. Other than that I found it quite satisfying and treasure the insinuation of S&M when Broooke starts to tie the man to his bed frame. Quite Evergreen Reviewish, don't you think?
