TriviaEdit
The story "Forever Ambergris" was adapted for the fifth season of the Tales from the Crypt HBO series. The story's setting was altered for the adaptation, focusing on two combat photographers documenting a civil war in an unnamed Central American country. The older photographer tricks his younger, more talented protegé into entering an abandoned village where biological weapons were used, infecting him with a flesh-eating disease and killing him, allowing his mentor to steal the younger man's girlfriend and take credit for his photos. When he returns to the US, he and the woman have a romantic encounter, only for her to reveal the marijuana they had earlier smoked together was sent to her by her boyfriend from the plague village, infecting both of them with the disease.
