Ready for a hoilday treat TALES FROM THE CRYPT fans? Well head on over here to pick up the 2-disc documentary set, TALES FROM THE CRYPT: FROM COMIC BOOKS TO TELEVISION. Feel free to check out the trailer first.
“Tales from the Crypt: From Comic Books to Television” profiles the story behind the famous and controversial EC horror comic books of the 1950’s, and the pop culture they inspired. The main feature – a one-hour documentary produced for American Movie Classics (AMC) – features interviews with George A. Romero, John Carpenter, R.L. Stine, and Joel Silver, each of whom discusses the influence that the famous EC horror comics had on their careers. Clips from “Night of the Living Dead,” “Creepshow,” “The Fog,” “Tales from the Crypt” (the 1972 movie) and the “Tales from the Crypt” television series demonstrate these influences.
TFTC was always one of my faves because of its dark humor, and the impressive length of time that it managed to stay a viable genre staple. Enjoy!
“The two-disc DVD set includes three hours of additional bonus material, including a rare roundtable discussion with horror/science fiction legendary author, Ray Bradbury.
