Tales from the Darkside Poster # 1 Horror The Movie Drogan William Hickey

Description

George A. Romero adapts a Stephen King short story of the same name). Drogan is a wealthy, wheelchair-bound old man (played by William Hickey) who brings in a hitman (played by David Johansen) for a bizarre hire: kill a black cat, which Drogan believes is murderously evil. Drogan explains that there were three other occupants of his house before the cat arrived: his sister, Amanda (played by Dolores Sutton), her friend Carolyn (played by Alice Drummond), and the family’s butler, Richard Gage (played by Mark Margolis). Drogan claims that one by one, the cat killed the other three, and that he is next. Drogan’s pharmaceutical company killed 5,000 cats while testing a new drug, and he is convinced that this black cat is here to exact cosmic revenge. The hitman, Halston, doesn’t believe the story, but is more than willing to eliminate the cat, since Drogan is offering $100,000. But when Drogan returns to the house to see if the deed is done, he finds that the cat has in fact killed Halston, by climbing down his throat! The cat emerges from the hitman’s corpse and jumps at Drogan, giving him a fatal heart attack.
