Tales from the Crypt
Dead-on humor and horror.
Created by William M. Gaines, Steven Dodd
On HBO
A darkly comedic horror anthology hosted by a grotesque puppet, trading in macabre punchlines and E.C. Comics sensibilities where the joke and the scare are equally weighted.
Cadaverous scream legend the Crypt Keeper is your macabre host for these forays of fright and fun based on the classic E.C. Comics tales from back in the day. So shamble up to the bar and pick your poison. Will it be an insane Santa on a personal slay ride? Honeymooners out to fulfill the "til death do we part" vow ASAP?
