Meat Loaf in a Dario Argento horror about killer raccoon coats. Yes, really. No, you're not dreaming.
Jake Feldman is a furrier struggling to build a business while being tormented by his obsession with a stripper. When a sadistic backwoods trapper kills a strange group of pet raccoons, Jake knows their luxurious hides could make a coat that will change his fortunes forever. Only these are no ordinary pelts: the cursed furs will wreak vengeance on anyone who touches them.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Argento's only American TV production, made for Showtime's Masters of Horror anthology where prestige directors were given free rein and tiny budgets.
The episode represents Argento's late-career pivot toward literalizing metaphors—here, 'blood on your hands' becomes actual bloody hands emerging from fur.
