Friday the 13th: The Series

Friday the 13th: The Series was a 1987-1990 Canadian/American syndicated television series about the owners of an antique store (Louise Robey and John D.

The Secret Agenda of Mesmer's Bauble (Season 2, Episode 20)

Howard (Martin Neufield), a shy record store clerk, is obsessed with pop star Angelica (Vanity). While walking home late one night, Howard sees a jewelry store robbery in progress and impulsively picks up a bauble that the robbers left behind. Another man, thinking Howard is the robber, grabs him. Howard tells the man to drop dead and the man, hypnotized by the bauble, does exactly that. At home that night, Howard discovers that the bauble can grant wishes if it is used to kill someone.

Howard uses the bauble to hypnotize and kill Angelica's record executive (Laurie Paton) and her manager (Tony De Santis) so that he can become Angelica's handsome lover, but when they are finally alone together, he uses the bauble to destroy her and assume her form.

Mickey and Ryan investigate the pattern of murders and soon suspect Howard. They track him to the concert where Howard, in Angelica's form, is performing. They manage to get the bauble away from him and when they do, he transforms back into his original self and falls into a set of stage lights, killing him.
