| Perversions of Science was the short-lived science fiction spin-off of Tales from the Crypt that ran for one season after Crypt ended. It featured the same mix of sci-fi, horror and comedy as it's predecessor, but failed to catch on with audiences. The show was based on the science fiction titles in the EC Comics line from the 50s - Weird Science, Weird Fantasy and Weird Science-Fantasy. Perversions was hosted by an animated sex-bot named Chrome, who was voiced by actress Maureen Teefy. Below you will find an episode guide for the series, along with what few pics I could find pertaining to the show. |
