Brooke Shields..."Came the Dawn."

Rare unfortunate woman that did nothing intentionally wrong in Tales From Crypt. Caught the ax for breaking down on road. Had a creep pick her up and the creep got no repercussions.

Weird episode- no intentional cheating or other crimes leading up to it like most episodes.

80's Kid....LOVE...LOVE Rewatching...

As a horror fan in late 40s- can't express how happy I am all episodes on Shudder. As a kid caught many episodes on HBO. Bought all seasons on DVD and watched 20 plus years ago. Some episodes I really remember but a ton I forgot about. 7 out of 10 episodes are outstanding. The others are just GOOD. In season 5 on rewatch not seen one terrible episode. Even the "bad" ones are 8 out of 10 times fun.

On fence on Shudder renewal before they got Tales from Crypt. The fact I can see these episodes again and again alone cemented renewing my subscription.

New podcast: RECRYPTED - A TALES FROM THE CRYPT PODCAST

Hi Boils and Ghouls! I just wanted to let this community know about a new TFTC podcast I’m co-hosting, RECRYPTED.

I hope you don’t consider this spam, as it just feels like the best place to get the word out.

We’re covering all 93 episodes from the perspectives of someone who saw the series a long time ago and is revisiting in adulthood, and someone who’s never seen it but has always wanted to (me).

We‘re only a few episodes in and would love some of you to listen. We have weekly guests from the worlds or academia, fandom, and journalism, and it’s a well-produced show. And if you’d like to get involved, please let me know.

I have been reading Creepshow 13 Tales of Terror. This one is not in comic form, but in prose. So far I have liked the three stories that I have read, though some are better than others which tend to overstay their welcome before the final twist.

I was going to post this on the Creepshow group, but there's not much activity there. Also since Creepshow is pretty much a homage to the Tales from the Crypt and other EC horror comics. Also the original Creepshow movies were an influemce for the tv show Tales from the Crypt to be made.

People who live in brass hearses

The late great Bill Paxton and Chucky himself- Brad Dourif. Never expected an "Ice cream man" episode in Tales From The Crypt!

Death of Some Salesman

Tim Curry pulling dual roles in drag- Eddie Murphy vibes! Ed Begley Jr. (big in 80's/early 90's) plays the creep salesman. Sooo good!

What movies/shows are your TFTC methadone?

Tales from the Crypt is amazing, but sadly, it ended with no successor. There is no "Tales from the Crypt: the Next Generation."

But if you're like me, you still have a want for those types of stories. What is your goto media to scratch that itch which isn't associated with TFTC?

Here's what does it for me:

  • The Frighteners - I know that it was originally supposed to be a tftc movie, and you can tell. I think that's why I like it.
  • Channel Zero - SyFy's answer to AHS (and was a lot better IMHO)
  • Creepshow (SHUDDER series) - the writing isn't as good, it's kinda hokey, but the spirit is there.
  • Creepshow (first movie) - no explanation needed
  • Masters of Horror - series originally on Showtime, now on TuBi; same description as the Creepshow series

I would love more suggestions.

Your Scariest Episode?

I watched religiously as a kid when it aired on HBO. The only episode that really creeped me out was The New Arrival. I’m 44 now, and Felicity’s screams still unsettle me.

Movies or anthology series episodes that could have been part of TalesFromTheCrypt

Today I discovered that ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’ and ‘Frighteners’ started as TV movies for Tales From the Crypt.

After "Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight" they should have been filmed "Dead Easy" and "Body Count", but they were replaced by the disappointing "Bordello of Blood".

My question is, what other films, TV movies, or television anthology episodes do you think could be sisters or successors to "Tales from the Crypt"?

Crypt Keeper Cardboard Standees

Credit to the people who posted these, found these both on eBay auctions. I remember seeing the former standee at a grocery store back in the early 2000s hanging inside as part of the Halloween decorations and it freaked me out, wasn't expecting to see Crypty at all. Never seen the second one, which was used to promote Demon Knight's VHS release back then. I'd imagine both are quite rare and collectible these days and not easy to get ahold of.
