Better watch it now before it gets taken down!

One of my favorite episodes, it was banned during the Fox Family Channel reruns due to "occult content" (Fox's words, not mine). I read an interview with Michael Reaves about the episode and some of the mistakes (spelling Cthulhu wrong in the title and making said Old One purple instead of green).

And this episode was made years BEFORE parodying Cthulhu in cartoons became the cool new trend.

There was also a sequel episode made several seasons later, "Russian About", written by J. Michael Straczynski. It wasn't as good, save for the chant used by the cult to awaken the Old One.

"Brick-a brack-a fire-cracka siss boom bah! Old Ones! Old Ones! Rah! Rah! Rah!"

Quality.
