The premise

Here’s the bit.

In this send-up of TV horror anthologies, misanthropic late-night radio host Damien Faustman sneers at every caller who reaches his 2:15 a.m. show. Strange signs pile up: the studio grows hotter, the call-board blinks 666, an ominous voice keeps calling and his ex-girlfriend rings to rake up old wounds. When Faustman refuses to follow the mysterious caller to hell, he learns he is already there. But his eternal punishment is a letdown of cheap flames and a bloody clock, and the Devil admits that money is tight.

News flash: you're already in hell.

Look, we are in a recession. I am on a budget.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
