The Secret Shih Tan question


Is this censored on Chiller? The show jumps from Lawery telling the cook he has "bought" the woman with him and she is ok with him eating her, then to the cook preparing a body.

I know how the show ends, I won't spoil it for anyone, but I thought there might be a scene where he makes love to the girl as a lead up to the ruse at the end? Was there a scene like this?

I wondered if Chiller censored some episodes. I just thought this would have had a bigger turn at the end if there was a lead up sex scene since there was a lot of sexuality references with the pufferfish and how to prepare the meal, etc. Strange to hear about the sex but never see it.

I didn't know if the sex meant the cook had to have sex with the woman or Lawery was going to do it. Anyone know?

Again, the end is a twist, but I just think without a sex scene there, it seems odd. Does the story read that way too? Anyone read it?

The story and the episode track almost exactly. Yes, there is a scene cut that makes the final scene make sense. If you see it uncut, the end of that scene is intentionally ambiguous to set up the surprise of the final act of the story.

Wow. Remind me not to ever watch Chiller. They cut out a key scene! Yes there's a sex scene. Every episode of this show that I've seen has at least one sex scene.

It's on Netflix if you have it. I am totally hooked. It's like a British Twilight Zone with boobs, ass and moaning....

Yes they edited the scene out. I just watched the episode on dvd.
The show is more Tales From The Crypt then The Twilight Zone. With the host being a strange Cryptkeeper lite.
I like it though it def caters more to the average guy then say a woman or gay guy.
Really interesting show overall.
