"Jenifer" is adapted from a 10-page black-and-white comic book story, written by Bruce Jones and illustrated by Bernie Wrightson, that originally appeared in issue #63 (July 1974) of the horror anthology title Creepy.

[1] Police officer Frank Spivey (Steven Weber) is eating lunch in his squad car when he happens upon a crazed man with a meat cleaver forcing a young woman (Carrie Fleming) onto the ground.

Frank's wife and his son Pete (Harris Allen) react to meeting her with varying degrees of disgust.

When he brings her home, she frightens away Frank's wife and son, devours his cat, and murders and eats his young neighbor Amy (Jasmine Chan).

When Frank arrives home, he finds Jenifer covered in blood and the carny's dead body in his refrigerator.

The DVD featurette "Howard Berger and the Make-Up of Jenifer" detailed the process Carrie-Anne Fleming went through to transform her into the beast.

This was the only episode of the first season to require cuts, though Takashi Miike's "Imprint" was entirely rejected for TV.

[4] Anchor Bay Entertainment released all the Masters of Horror DVDs with massive extra features for each episode.

Their treatment of the DVDs were extremely well received, winning a Saturn Award for "Best Television Series Release on DVD" in 2006.
