    Perhaps a little silly and campy, but this is a very fun movie done in the style of the old fifties comic with plenty of ironic deaths throughout.

    Very dated fun for fans of the classic comics, but still has a charm all its own. The contrivance of the characters from each story gathered together on a mausoleum tour is kinda silly, but works in the context of the comic feel of the stories.

    Worth a rental.

    Why the people in the movie came together in the first place escaped me, but the stories themselves were great to watch. The third story was the only one that was predictable.

    I happen to thoroughly enjoy Tales from the Crypt. I'm like what Bill Cosby said in one of his album, yeah, come on scare me.

    I absolutely love the horror tales in this one! Peter Cushing's one as the lonely, but gentle hermit, is especially great! He gets his just revenge on the assholes who wronged him in the end! And who can forget the Santa Claus one with Joan Collins?! Very creepy!
    I have found this on DVD on a website for classic and hard-to-find movies if anyone is interested.

    Excellent, eerie, atmospheric Amicus horror anthology. "Poetic Justice," featuring Cushing as a nice old man who comes back from the grave to deal out revenge to the neighbor who destoryed his life, is great, as is "Blind Alley," with the crazy Patrick Magee as the leader of a group of neglected blind men who take their horrific revenge on their cruel housemaster. The other three stories are pretty good, as well. All in all, an excellent example of what Amicus did best (and what made them unique when compared to their contemporary, Hammer.)
