Editorial Reviews

In this anthology series, the legendary 1950's comic book rises from the dead as one of the most innovative, terrifying and frightfully funny horror shows on television. Each bone chilling adventure features a star-studded cast and is hosted by its slightly decaying master of ceremonies, the Crypt Keeper. From behind the camera, Tales From The Crypt boasts some of Hollywood's top talent and biggest names from television and films; from producers, to directors to composers. So, turn down the lights, lock your doors and join the Crypt Keeper with his fiendishly famous friends for unforgettable adventures, macabre, murder and mayhem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Earlier Crypt shows from the WB; you're in for a shock!, June 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tales From Crypt, Vol. 3 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This "Tales From The Crypt" video was considered Volume 3 out of a trilogy, produced by Warner Brothers (instead of HBO; as a large amount of the more recent ones are) in 1990. The three episodes on this video which I will be reviewing are "Dead Right" , "The Switch" and "Cutting Cards". "Dead Right", starring Demi Moore and Jeffrey Tambor is the story of a female Gold digger who visits a gypsy that tells her she will find wealth soon. Later, she meets a fat slob, whom she later marries for the money. But where is it? And what's this about a lottery she just won? A great episode; but I must warn you, this has a very disturbing and violent end. Not for the faint of heart. "The Switch" is indeed a thought provoking episode. A wealthy old man tries to steal a young girl's heart by taking special....operations. But in the end, I think the name of the game would be vice-versa. Starring William Hickey (one of his last roles before his passing away) , Rick Rossovich and Kelly Preston, this film is suprisingly directed by (!) Arnold Schwarzenegger! "Cutting Cards" is the light hearted episode in the video. Starring Keving Tighe and Lance Henriksen, it all starts with a game of cards to see who gets out of town first....and then it snowballs. Probably one of the more comical endings in all of the "Tales From The Crypt" series. As always, the Crypt Keeper provides great laughes throughout the segments. Great video. Buy it today.

5.0 out of 5 stars tales from the crypt the show is pure genius, November 19, 1997

This review is from: Tales From Crypt, Vol. 3 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I absoulutley love TALES FROM THE CRYPT it is the greatest show ever created. This tape is especially good because the three episodes on it are some of the earlier ones, and some of the better ones. DEAD RIGHT, THE SWITCH, and CUTTING CARDS all have great stories. Highly recomended! END

This review is from: Tales From Crypt, Vol. 3 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Without question,Tales From The Crypt is the best horror TV show of all time.I'm not exactly sure if it was the first horror anthology to hit TV,but it was the only true *sucessful* one.It was the only one that never got taken off the air.It had countless episodes that were just brilliant. Great casting,superb acting,awesome special F/X,this show is total Genius.It's also the only thing in the world that frightens me like a baby. The Crypt Keepers unbelieveably ugly appearance really freaked me out as a kid,and he still does! How can you Trash the guy? He's one of the most important icons in the History of horror.This is the perfect choice for you multi-story seekers,and a totally excellent addition to your horror library.What are you doing reading this? Buy every episode now... The episodes MUST be released on DVD NOW,with non-stop extras galore!
