Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe episode is given the name of an entirely different story than displayed. "Revenge is the nuts" is a story featured in the EC Comic "Vault of Horror" issue #20 and deals with abused inmates of an Asylum whom exact revenge via feeding their abuser to a monstrous inmate who rips him apart. Though this episode uses this title, it is actually an adaptation of an entirely different story called "Blind Alleys" from the EC Comic "Tales From The Crypt" issue # 46 about abused blind patients who exact their revenge using a razor blade hallway and a hungry dog. The stories are slightly similar with different gruesome circumstances of their endings. This episode is not "Revenge is the nuts" even though it is titled as such. It bares none of the details of that story and all of the details down to the exact ending of "Blind Alleys."

Featured review
"Revenge is Nuts" falls short of "Blind Alleys"
This is a remake from the original "Blind Alleys" segment of the movie "Tales from the Crypt." Though the story line is similar, it lacks the nature of realism that the original does. There are sexual overtures that weren't needed or even present in the first, but it must be for the audiences of the 1990's. "Blind Alleys" was about a home for blind men only. The leading actress had clothes that suggested the 1990's, and the whole scenario would not have played out during that time. The entire layout of the facility was unrealistic; from the size of the place and the only exit being through Grunwald's office. And to have four residents in a home for the blind, when the original had many makes it seem like there weren't have enough funds for the casting of the remake.
