Cat's Eye
From the macabre imagination of Stephen King comes this trio of terrifying tales. In the first episode, a New York man (James Woods) has trouble giving up cigarettes. He turns to a shady self-help operation whose hotheaded owner (Alan King) outlines a litany of incrementally harsh penalties for those who cannot resist having another puff. The second story centers on Cressner (Kenneth McMillan), a mobster who works Atlantic City. His wife has been having an affair with a tennis pro (Robert Hays), so Cressner forces the athlete to walk the ledge around his apartment high-rise. If the athlete can complete one lap along the overhang, he gets to be with Cressner's wife forever. A young girl (Drew Barrymore), in the closing narrative, has difficulty sleeping. Though her parents suspect the family cat of wrongdoing, the girl knows better--especially after she spots a foot-high troll coming out of her bedroom wall...
