Cool Horror Videos: CG homage to Tales From the Crypt’s iconic intro

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

“Tales From the Crypt” hardly needs an introduction around these parts as the horror anthology left an everlasting mark on the world of horror, lasting seven seasons running from 1989 to 1996. During its time on HBO, “Tales From the Crypt” crafted some of the most memorable horror stories to grace the small screen, all of which began with a tracking shot that took us deep into the Crypt Keeper's decrepit mansion. That shot is so good, so memorable, that people can tell you exactly what it's from without ever actually seeing a single episode of the show; it's just that good. That brings us to today’s cool horror video, one that will have fans of the show begging for more.

A talented group of visual effects artists have recreated that very iconic moment entirely out of CGI, and the result is as gorgeous as it is haunting. The folks behind it all are Damien Peinoit, Adel Benabdallah, Toufik Mekbel, and Omar Meradi. Take a look!
