Editorial Reviews

Television viewers got a fright in 1989 when TALES FROM THE CRYPT made the transition from EC comic book to TV show. Hosted by the Cryptkeeper each episode of the show offered a new ghoulish tale for the audience to sink their teeth (or fangs) into. The show originated on HBO and all six episodes from the first season are included here. It was such a success that myriad CRYPT-inspired spinoffs resulted including an animated series several feature films and seemingly infinite merchandising opportunities. A popular favorite among horror-film fans TALES FROM THE CRYPT also appeals to viewers who love the visceral thrill of jumping out of their seats as terrifying scenes unfold in front of them. The first seven seasons of the show are gathered on this collection.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 012569754218 Manufacturer No: 75421

I purchased this set as a Christmas gift for my 29 year old daughter. She was beyond thrilled. She has already started watching this series. She could not believe that I would think to purchase this and the whole series, too. The service on receiving this order was great and the condition the dvd's arrived in was fantastic. I would order from this vendor again.

Watching these shows again, I felt a wave of nostalgia. There was nothing quite like Tales from the Crypt on television in the late 80s/early 90s, and the series still manages to hold its own today. Recommended for fans of horror with a clever comedic twist.

If you're interested in the complete Tales from the Crypt show, you're already versed in what makes it good (or bad). This collection is nothing more than the individual seven boxed sets shrink-wrapped together with a new UPC. You might save some money, but other than that you're getting exactly what someone who collected the series' from the beginning has.

While I enjoy the show quite a bit, I feel somewhat cheated that I waited, and received this slapdash collection, rather than the at least boxed sets for other series (Kids in the Hall being a notable boxed set not differing much from the packages preceeding it, while Twin Peaks' new boxset is stunning).

I'd say five stars for content, four for packaging. Thanks for nothing, Warner Brothers.
