Original Air Date: June 10, 1989

This episode was based on the story “Dig That Cat… He’s Real Gone” seen in issue #21 of “The Haunt of Fear”. In this episode, actor Joe Pantoliano’s brain is fused with a cat’s brain – giving him nine lives.  His doctor convinces him to join a Sideshow so that they can make tons of money. I think I’d rather use these abilities to become Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman circa 1992…

What would you do with nine lives?

You can find issue #21 in “The Haunt of Fear Volume 5″ on Abebooks.com.
