About a year or so ago now I decided to buckle down and finally watch every single episode of TALES FROM THE CRYPT. And I did it! Thank you, thank you. That said, there are only 93 episodes of the series (couldn't have produced, like, 7 more there, HBO?) so I guess it didn't take too long, but who else do you know that has seen every episode? Other than you, of course.
Anyhow, now may be the best time to catch up on TALES FROM THE CRYPT as there is (supposedly) a new version of the horror anthology coming to TNT by way of M. Night Shyamalan in the near future.
Binge-watching the complete series will now be easier than ever as the complete series, featuring episodes 1-93 is hitting DVD for the first time ever in one collection! No news on the Blu-ray edition. Yet.
TALES FROM THE CRYPT: THE COMPLETE SERIES rundown:
Your favorite deadtime stories return from the grave in the spook-tacular Tales from the Crypt: The Complete Series. Cadaverous scream legend the Crypt Keeper hosts this groundbreaking anthology of macabre masterpieces featuring vampires, mad doctors, killers, ghosts, and other terrifying makers and corpse creators.
Based on the tasteless and terrifying E.C. Comics classics, the show featured top-tier film talent, including Richard Donner, Joel Silver, Robert Zemeckis and Frank Darabont – even Arnold Schwarzenegger helmed an episode! Add up-and-coming nineties actors Daniel Craig, Whoopi Goldberg, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, and others, then edit in resurrected Hollywood greats like Humphrey Bogart and Alfred Hitchcock, and fans of twisted, dead-on humor were glued to their screens.
Now, gathered together in one creepy collection for the first time, all the frightful fun of the original uncut episodes deemed too racy for television broadcast, plus loads of eerie extras is yours until the day you die…laughing!
How many episodes of TALES FROM THE CRYPT have you seen? Which is your favorite?
Mine is till All Through the House with DR. GIGGLES as a psycho Santa, but that seems obvious so I'll give you a few more: Cutting Cards, The Ventriloquist's Dummy, Television Terror, Carrion Death, and The New Arrival. Those are just a few off the top of my head.
