Elizabeth Kamen (Tales From the Crypt)

Elizabeth Kamen (Mary Ellen Trainor; 1952-2015) was a villainess from Tales From the Crypt's second-ever episode, "And All Through the House" (airdate June 10, 1989).
== Events ==
The episode began with Elizabeth grabbing a fireplace poker and killing her husband, Joseph, with a blow to the head. After their daughter, Carrie, walked downstairs after hearing the commotion, Elizabeth sent her back upstairs after successfully hiding her murderous deed. Later on, the evil Elizabeth phoned her lover and stated that they can run away together with Joseph's insurance money, serving as her motive for killing her husband. The villainess later dragged her husband's body out of the house and intended on dropping him down a well, only to be Joseph to barely cling back to life and attempt to attack Elizabeth, but failing.
Elizabeth is later attacked by a deranged serial killer in a Santa Claus suit, prompting her to go back in the house, where she was attacked again. After subduing the killer, Elizabeth picked up the ringing phone, hearing a man warning her about the killer in the Santa Claus suit. She was told that police would head to her home, which worried her due to Joseph's body, but after learning that the killer's weapon of choice was an axe, Elizabeth grabbed one and plunged it into Joseph's body. The scheming villainess then called police under the claim that the Santa Claus killer had murdered her husband, but when she saw that the axe was removed from Joseph's body, she panicked and managed to keep the killer from entering.
However, the climax saw Carrie encounter the killer and--believing he was the actual Santa Claus--letting him in through the window. Carrie later approached her mother and showed her that "Santa had come," only to Elizabeth to scream in horror over the deranged killer being in her home. The episode ends under the assumption that Elizabeth was murdered by the Santa Claus killer.
