#Are you afraid of the dark crypt keeper series#
Tales from the Crypt is an American horror series produced by HBO. But if you want to ease yourself in, with something a little spooky, then this is a good place to begin. The Tale of the Dead Man’s Float (1995)Īs mentioned above, this show was designed with a younger audience in mind, so don’t expect blood and guts.The Tale of Laughing in the Dark (1992).Now my top tip here is that unless you are desperate to watch the series from start to finish, my advice is to simply check out these ten episodes: The show comprises seven seasons, totaling 91 episodes, and while this is a show aimed at a young demographic, it does boast some genuinely creepy moments. Oh yeah, I saw Demon Knight Billy Zane more commonly known as Imhotep (loved him in the Mummy) was pretty much the whole reason I watched it.The best episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Of course, the really amusing thing, for me, is that I'd seen one of the tales in the first movie done by the show (Joan Collins was fun to watch, though), and I actually own a reprint of the comic version of one of the tales in "Vault of Horror." So I had fun comparing them. It's like a who's who (*snicker*) of British greats. Just out of curiosity, have you seen the two British movies? ("Demon Knight" being the only good American one of the two I've seen - I missed "Ritual.") They're pretty gruesome, for the '70s - thank you, Hammer Studios. "Tales from the Crypt" was re-run at 11 PM when it was airing, and I didn't always have the opportunity or the ability (or just plain remember) to tape it. Sadly, I never actually saw it, just heard about it (so thank you for the video). I'm old - comparatively, if nothing else. I didn't think anyone else other than me would remember that.
To "Tales from the Crypt" - a horror fan's delight. It blends horror and camp quite well, its guest stars are many and varied ( including a posthumous performance by Humphrey Bogart!), and the Crypt-Keeper always made coming back worthwhile - God bless John Kassir.

It also should be noted that the publisher (the later, great, and lamented William M. "Tales From the Crypt" has its good points in almost any format, and is notable as being part of comic book history, since it and its brother and sister publications were some of the primary victims in the anti-comics trials of the 1950s (along with Alfred Pennyworth, since they had to kill off Batman's butler and put Aunt Harriet in the house to make Batman and Robin not look gay). I watched both, and the movies, and the game show, so I've got you all beat!
