What's that? You say there's not enough fright in your life? Well, let your old fearsome friend, the Crypt Keeper, put some pep into your tired blood with another lucky 13 episodes of Tales from the Crypt, the shock-show series based on the infamous E.C. horror comics of the 1950s. As with Crypt's previous seasons, the gruesome formula in the 1993 Season 5 remains the same: Half-hour episodes rife with murderous spouses, the walking dead, and horrific twists of fate, liberally spiced up with gallons of gore and nudity, and featuring some of Hollywood's most famous faces behind and in front of the camera. The season's hellacious highlights are probably Gary Fleder's "Forever Ambergris," with Steve Buscemi and the Who's Roger Daltrey as rival combat photographers whose competition comes to a sticky end courtesy of exposure to chemical weapons; and the season opener, "Death of Some Salesman" (by Gilbert Adler, who later helmed the Crypt theatrical feature Bordello of Blood), with Tim Curry in three roles as a rural family with a big surprise for a duplicitous con man (Ed Begley Jr.). Elsewhere, actor Kyle MacLachlan directs Hector Elizondo and Patsy Kensit in the noirish "As Ye Sow"; Highlander's Russell Mulcahy oversees Bill Paxton and Michael Lerner in the grisly revenge tale "People Who Live in Brass Hearses"; and Kevin Hooks unleashes Traci Lords and David Paymer in "Two for the Show," a classic E.C. story of henpecked husbands and overheated wives, with a splattery switcheroo at its conclusion. Entourage's Kevin Dillon, Martin Sheen, Brooke Shields, Lou Diamond Phillips, John Stamos, and Cheech Marin are also featured in the ghoulish goings-on, with Gregory (Rescue Me) Widen, the late Jeffrey Boam (The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.), and Uli Edel (Last Exit to Brooklyn) among the other directors orchestrating the on-screen mayhem. John Kassir, the voice of the Crypt Keeper, returns to provide narration for the set's sole extra, a "virtual comic book" that features the original comic on which "Salesman" was based. -- Paul Gaita

If you love horror, you will love this season f the Crypt. I really enjoyed it. (Kelis's Grandma)

There are a couple of episodes here that are really only average, but there are also some excellent ones (Death of a salesman, House of horror) that hold up well even now, more than ten years after they were made. The Fifth Season has all the shocks and suspense and humor you'd expect from the series as well as some fun performances and interesting casting.

TALES FROM THE CRYPT had to have been a guilty pleasure for all the actors, directors, writers, and others involved in the production of the series all seven years it was on HBO. The series was a chance for everyone who had grown up on the old EC Comics horror magazines that were jam-packed of the grossest black-and-white illustrations to ever corrupt young minds to work with those stories and bring them to life -- or unlife.
I remember coming across some of those old magazines in the ... Read More

Let me start off by saying that I am a huge horror movie fan and a huge Crypt Keeper/Tales From The Crypt fan. This show was a part of my childhood and makes me feel like a kid again! I love the Crypt Keeper and his sometimes-bad jokes and I usually love the show and find that most episodes have a pretty high "rewatch" value. However, as a kid I never made it to this season of Crypt because we no longer had cable by the time this season was on TV.
That being said...I find this season ... Read More

...it can lose some of its bite. I watched all of the episodes contained on here, some of them could be considered shockers, but some are a little ho-hum and outrageous even for this show's standards. Still, I like them for just the nostalgic value and the fact it can be considered in my mind, a family show. Always a good buy for a collector or a real fan.
