Based on the EC Comics series of the same name, this campy and stylized anthology series recounts a string of horrific yarns introduced by the show's moldering host, the Crypt Keeper. Episodes feature a number of well-known actors and actresses, including Dan Aykroyd, Malcolm McDowell, Christopher Reeve and Sam Waterston. Michael J. Fox, Tom Hanks, Robert Zemeckis, Richard Donner and John Frankenheimer are among notables who directed episodes.

Sean T. Collins Rolling Stone Taking full advantage of the cable network's free rein with violence and nudity, Tales from the Crypt was a celebration of horror's pulpy past. Jun 19, 2018 Full Review A.A. Dowd AV Club An underwhelming (and unpopular) final season, low on scares, laughs, and the kind of guilty pleasure even a mediocre Tale could once inspire. Jun 14, 2018 Full Review Brandon Ciampaglia IGN Movies Along with the Crypt Keeper's trademark puns everything seemed to be in place for a fantastic finale... or so it seemed. Unfortunately, the episodes aren't all that great. Rated: 6/10 Jun 15, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
