Pelts is the sixth episode of the second season of Masters of Horror, first aired December 1, 2006, based on a short story by F. Paul Wilson. A story about supernaturally beautiful raccoon pelts that cause anyone who seeks to profit by them to commit horrendous acts. Meat Loaf stars as fur trader Jake Feldman, who finds these beautiful raccoon pelts and makes a coat out of them as a gift for the beautiful dancer Shanna , in order to fulfill his fantasy of sex with her. As a result, people end up committing brutal murders and suicides appropriate to their positions in relation to the pelts... whenever around them. Jake Feldman is a fur trader who desperately wants to have sex with a stripper named Shanna, but although she dances topless, she refuses to give it up. One of his trappers/suppliers, Jameson and his son, go onto Mother Maters land to trap animals. They find each trap containing a raccoon, and Jameson senior schools his son on the proper way to kill them: crush their windpipes with a boot, and if they survive, crush their skulls with a baseball bat.
