of the Tales from the Crypt
episode "The Assassin", 1994

Shelley starred in an episode of Tales from the Crypt in 1994. The series was based on the horror comic anthology series of the same name which was published in the 1950s. The crypt keeper introduced and ended every episode during is entire run. In December 7, 1994, Shelley appeared in the season 6 episode called "The Assassin." She played Janet McKay, the wife of a suspected government assassin gone AWOL, who was finally tracked down and was going to be eliminated. Shelley gave a fine performance in this must-see episode. Corey Feldman, Jonathan Banks, Chelsea Field and Marshall R. Teague all appeared in the episode as well. It is currently available on DVD. Let's hope it's released on Blu-ray soon.
