    The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

    If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

    Funny good old horror show with some really good ideas, dark humor and a good production and almost every episode got a fine cast. The short playtime per episode of 25 minutes make this one a quick fine snack for the connoisseur of creep 'n' horror. Binge-watching highly recommended too.

    For me, the first bite from Gothic universe. with good result. because the Crypt Keeper and his short speech, his laughing and the bizarre stories and the thrill are more than crumbs from teenager life or pieces from entertainment. each was a sort of trip in obscure places , near strange cases, as witness to bitter lessons. and the memories are precious in this case.

    "Tales from the Crypt" was a very good show from the first season to the third one. The 30 minute episodes contain some entertaining stories which are imaginative and well written. Sadly, it was mainly downhill from season 4 onwards. The episodes became poorly plotted and were quite difficult to follow. I was disappointed by the mediocrity that had set in as the shows potential quickly evaporated. For all of that, at least the production values for "Tales from the Crypt" are far better than average and that there are a few talented actors involved. People like Tim Curry, Timothy Dalton, Michael J. Fox, Dan Ackroyd, Kirk Douglas, Malcolm McDowell, Christopher Reeve, Leslie Phillips, Lea Thompson amongst others. The show isn't exactly subtle or thought- provoking in particular. The violence, sexual content and foul language are delivered in droves and all this reduces the overall impact. However, there is still room for a twist to the tale. "Rod Serling's Twilight Zone" and to a certain extent, "Night Gallery" demonstrate both of the above attributes. The opening credit sequence is very well done because it is quite spooky. The way the camera glides through an open gate, then entering a big front door and making its way to the crypt in question, gives the distinct impression of guiding the viewers against their will toward the creepy host of the series. I recommend "Tales from the Crypt" for its early episodes but not many others afterwards.

    This is a very good scary series for people that are into shows like Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, except for an older audience. Tales from the Crypt originally aired from June 10, 1989 to July 19, 1996 and is based off the classic comic book series from the 1950's. The main host of the series is The Crypt Keeper who is voiced by John Kassir. He brings a comical tone to the otherwise bloody and dark tone of the gruesome episodes. The episodes are bloody, violent and not for the faint of heart, but not to the point of making one sick however. The series lasted for ninety three episodes total. The episodes are available on DVD in various countries however. I love this series and think it is clever and well made, with faithful adaptations from the comics and voice acting from John Kassir too. This is a must own TV series for your horror collection.I give it an 10/10
