Mrs. Colbert (Tales From The Crypt/The Haunt of Fear)

Mrs. Colbert (Grace Zabriskie) was a villainess from Tales From the Crypt's second season finale, "The Secret" (airdate July 31, 1990). She and her husband adopted 12-year-old Theodore from an orphanage, and they mainly stuff him full of sweets and keep him in his room, under the watchful eye of their servant, Tobias.
Later in the episode, Tobias attempts to escape with Theodore, when he runs into Mrs. Colbert in the stairway. At that moment, Mrs. Colbert turned heel and revealed herself as a vampiress, flashing her fangs at Tobias and Theodore. The villainess also revealed that she was to give Tobias immortality in return for watching Theodore, and even threatened to take Theodore should Tobias walk out. Later on, the evil Mrs. Colbert hissed in wicked glee as she watched her vampire husband kill Tobias, and the couple chased after Theodore. However, Theodore revealed that he is a werewolf and devoured the couple.
== Trivia ==
* Grace Zabriskie later appeared in the 2019 film Polaroid as villainess Lena Sable.
* The episode was based on the story of the same name in the 1954 comic book "The Haunt of Fear #24". The role, motive and fate of Mrs. Colbert are very similar in this version.
