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.
