Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Been dying for another dose of chills from your old poison pal, the Crypt-Keeper? Then pull up a slab and revisit all the repulsive goings-on in the third season of Tales from the Crypt, the over-the-top TV anthology inspired by the classic E.C. horror comics of the '50s. All 14 episodes of the 1991 season are compiled in this three-disc set; as with previous seasons, the shows serve up gruesome tongue-in-cheek fables adapted from the original comics (and spiced up with some liberal nudity and impressive special effects), and with a host of Hollywood talent in front of and behind the camera. Series producers Robert Zemeckis and Walter Hill each contribute a creepshow apiece (the impressive season closer "Yellow," with Kirk Douglas and Dan Aykroyd, and "Deadline," with CSI's Marg Helgenberger, respectively), while Michael J. Fox stars and directs the season opener "The Trap" (which co-stars Teri Garr and Bruno Kirby). Elsewhere, Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) gets gruesome with Whoopi Goldberg in the voodoo vengeance story "Dead Wait," while action veterans Russell Mulcahy (Highlander), Stephen Hopkins (The Life and Death of Peter Sellers), and Steven De Souza (screenwriter on Die Hard) each unleash their inner spook engines on an episode, with Hopkins's bizarre "Abra Cadaver" (with Tony Goldwyn and Beau Bridges as dueling doctor siblings) a perfect summation of the Crypt spirit and the season highlight. The third-season set is rounded out by a trifecta of extras: A Tall Tales Panel is a 14-minute look at the season, with comments by a panel of series participants recorded at Comic Con in San Diego. A Tales from the Crypt Reunion is the complete half-hour panel discussion, and Crypt Jam is a frothy music video composed of clips from the season. --Paul Gaita


Product Description

What's sinew, weirdos? All of you who say "This fabulous third-season collection of Tales from the Crypt" go to the head of the crass. And take your best fiend with you! Yes, that die-abolical punster and bone-a-fide ghoul of your dreams the Crypt Keeper is back to host this scare-rific collection of all 14 complete and uncut episodes from Season 3 of the series that ran seven memorably spooktacular seasons. Among the tales spilling out of the vault are Loved to Death with Mariel Hemingway; Top Billing starring Jon Lovitz; and Dead Wait with Whoopi Goldberg. Doo yourself a favor and dig into this merrily macabre mix.

5.0 out of 5 stars THREE SEASONS DOWN, FOUR TO GO..., January 9, 2006
By Anton Ilinski (Moscow, Russia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The third season is rather special for me because it has two of my favourite episodes of the whole show - "Abra Cadaver" and "Yellow". As we all know "Tales from the Crypt" is one of the best TV-shows ever, and I personally don't ponder whether to buy it or not. Definately yes! I just can't wait till they release all other seasons as well. And here are all the directors and guest stars appearing in the third season:

THE TRAP - dir. Michael J. Fox. Starring: Michael J. Fox.
LOVED TO DEATH - dir. Tom Mankiewicz. Starring: David Hemmings, Mariel Hemingway.
CARRION DEATH - dir. Steven De Souza. Starring: Kyle Maclachlan.
ABRA CADAVER - dir. Stephen Hopkins. Starring: Tony Goldwyn, Beau Bridges.
TOP BILLING - dir. Todd Holland (Don't confuse with Tom Holland). Starring: Louise Fletcher, Sandra Bernhard, Jon Lovitz.
DEAD WAIT - dir. Tobe Hooper. Starring: Whoopi Goldberg, James Remar, John Rhys-Davies.
THE RELUCTANT VAMPIRE - dir. Elliot Silverstein. Starring: Malcolm McDowell, Michael Berryman.
EASEL KILL YA - dir. John Harrison. Starring: Tim Roth.
UNDERTAKING PALLOR - dir. Michael Thau. Starring: Graham Jarvis.
MOURNIN' MESS - dir. Manny Coto. Starring: Ally Walker.
SPLIT SECOND - dir. Russel Mulcahy. Starring: Brion James, Michele Johnson.
DEADLINE - dir. Walter Hill. Starring: Marg Helgenberger.
SPOILED - dir. Andy Wolk. Starring: Anthony LaPaglia, Faye Grant.
YELLOW - dir. Robert Zemeckis. Starring: Kirk Douglas, Eric Douglas, Dan Aykroyd, Lance Henriksen.

The third season may not have a big amount of major stars, but the directors, the directors! Even if you are not a fan of chills and thrills, you'd want to check their works here. Have fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hello, Boils and Ghouls!, January 12, 2006
By Sky (New York) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The Tales From the Crypt series was some of the best television airing back in the final year of the 80s and into the early 90s. Deliberately over the top. Deliberately funny. Deliberately campy at times. Deliberately scary. Deliberately gory. Deliberately one of HBO's finest creations.

The episodes are all based on EC Comics of old...mostly from the self titled Tales From the Crypt, Haunt of Fear and Vault of Horror comic books. But I'd guess that 90% of you reading this already know that, and you're here as I am delighted that it is finally out on DVD.

For those that have not seen these wonderfully entertaining episodes of dark humor and horror...if you're into the genre this collection and any of the other HBO seasonal Tales From the Crypt releases are for you.

Season 3 contains one of the most memorable episodes with Abra Cadaver: Carl (Tony Goldwyn) and Marty (Beau Bridges) are brothers who work at a hospital. When Carl plays a prank on Marty pretending to have a new way of proving that the brain lives after the body dies, the scare delivered in the prank literally gives Marty a heart attack. Years later Marty hasn't forgiven Carl and Marty "executes" a prank of his own. Deadly fun!!!

You'll also get:
-"Deadline": Never commit murder with a CSI in the cast (Marg Helgenberger).
-"The Trap": Michael J Fox directed tale of a guy that fakes his own death...to die for!
-"Loved To Death": Love potion #9!
-"Carrion Death": More like Carrying Death...cuffed to a corpse!
-"Top Billing": Star studded episode about a frustrated hacktor who will do anything to get a part.
-"Dead Wait": Who do that voodoo? Maybe Whoopi Goldberg?
-"The Reluctant Vampire": If you're going to mess with a vampire, don't be long in the tooth!
-"Easel Kill Ya": Death defying portraits?
-"Undertaking Parlor": Video taping the undertaker...lights, camera, hacktion!
-"Mournin' Mess": Boils better watch out for the Ghouls!
-"Split Second": Lumberjack gets jealous and gives the other guy the axe!
-"Spoiled": Soap opera from hell!
-"Yellow": Another star studded episode where Kirk Douglas puts his real life cowardly son into battle and ultimately the firing squad.

Hit the Buy button. Easel kill ya!

4.0 out of 5 stars what happened to to the picture quality!!!!!!, May 25, 2006
By lisandro" "Lee" (florida,miami) - See all my reviews
i give the season four stars. but the dvds get 2 stars. what happend!!! The WB got cheap, the new package sucks its higher than the others and not the same inside. That i could handle, but what really sucks is that the picture quality looks like VHS!The first 2 seasons looked great. But the third looks like im actually watching them in 1991! In a way it feels old school, but dam we are in the dvd age and i wish they looked good like the first 2 seasons. i hope they go back to the old packaging and remastering in the 4th season!
