The secret tales from the crypt

The vulnerable character can be a child or someone in a wheelchair or someone very old and frail who appears to be easy pickings for a calculating predator but who proves to be more cunning, ruthless and sometimes even monstrous and evil than anticipated. Theodore is simply too old and too weirdly ominous to be attractive to adoptive parents until one day the wealthy, elegant and clearly evil Colberts William Frankfather and Grace Zabriskie single him out from his younger, cuter, less sinister peers and promise to transform his life of deprivation and want into one of wealth and privilege when they take him home to their opulent mansion and invite him to live as their endlessly pampered son. But something is off from the beginning. Part of that is casting. Cast the great, spooky Grace Zabriskie in TV show or movie and audiences are going to assume that she is playing an evil villainess. He even has his own massive model railroad. Theodore has everything a lonely, strange boy could want and nothing that he needs, like parents who let him outside and treat him like a son and not a goose they are fattening in anticipation of a merry feast. That coonskin cap is just one not so subtle sign of his violently animalistic true nature, the one his orphanage is clearly terrified of, and want to keep a secret from him and the world. It's clear that both the Colberts and Theodore are repping major monster families, and not the same one. Sure enough, when the Colberts decide Theodore is plump and sweet enough to be feasted upon Theodore reveals a "secret" of his own; let's just say that in a few years this young man will be able to relate to the movie Teen Wolf on a deeply personal level.
