Product Description

Death Lives in the Vault of Horror!

Five strangers go with a tourist group to view old caves. Separated from the main group, they find themselves in a room with the mysterious Crypt Keeper, who details how each of the strangers will die.

And All Through the House- After Joanne Clayton (Joan Collins) kills her husband on Christmas Eve, she prepares to hide his body but hears a radio announcement stating that a homicidal maniac (Oliver MacGreevy) is on the loose.

Reflection of Death- Carl Maitland (Ian Hendry) abandons his family to be with Susan Blake (Angela Grant). After they drive off together, they are involved in a car accident. He wakes up in the wrecked car and attempts to hitchhike home but, no one will stop for him.

Poetic Justice- Edward Elliott (David Markham) and his son James (Robin Phillips) are a snobbish pair who resent their neighbour, retired garbage man Arthur Grymsdyke (Peter Cushing) who owns a number of animals and entertains children at his house.

Wish You Were Here- Businessman Ralph Jason (Richard Greene) is close to financial ruin. His wife Enid (Barbara Murray) discovers a Chinese figurine and wishes for a fortune.

Blind Alleys- Major William Rogers (Nigel Patrick), the new director of a home for the blind, makes drastic financial cuts, reducing heat and rationing food for the residents, while he lives in luxury with Shane, his Belgian Malinois.

5.0 out of 5 starsBrilliant Stuff !!
By comcols on 8 July 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
The best Horror film i ever saw ( as a kid), at long last it's on a Region 2 DVD. All sub stories are great but the performance by Cushing as "Grimsdyke" takes all awards, scared the life outta me when first watched on a late night ITV showing. Each offering being carefully crafted and perfectly presented by a hardcore cast of expertise, how on earth did they get Sir Ralph to play the Crypt Keeper ?? ;-) Buy and enjoy.......

5.0 out of 5 starsquality tales.
By BUBS. on 5 Feb. 2011
Format: DVD
i have always loved the old hammer and amicus horror films ,and tales from the crypt is very close to being the best of them .i can't remember seeing this film as a child and was stunned by how good it was when i watched it last night ,5 different stories and everyone of them is quality ,the one with peter cushing in is brilliant ,we know he was a great actor and this short film is amongst his best work i reckon . i bought this film on region 1 because it was virtually half the price plus it came with vault of horror in a double bill set ,2 very good horror films but tales from the crypt is the best one .

5.0 out of 5 starsA classic Freddie Francis directed Amicus-horror film.
By Puzzle box on 26 July 2011
Format: DVD
In the 1960s and 1970s Amicus studio's were one of the main rivals of Hammer Studios, specialising in making horror anthology films as well as gothic period-piece horror films. Tales From The Crypt takes its inspiration from the old EC comics of the 1950's and its similar to other anthology horror films like The House That Dripped Blood. They were both classic British horror films that had some great acting and an all-star cast, but this in my opinion was my personal favorite. Tales From The Crypt was directed by Freddie Francis and was released in 1972, it stars Joan Collins, Peter Cushing and Patrick Magee among others and the film contains five stories my favorite story would be All Through The House which was then remade as an episode for the Tales From The Crypt t.v. show in the 90's during the first season which was fantastic, and another would be Poetic Justice. Five strangers lost on a tour of old English catacombs wander into a meeting with a strange man (The crypt keeper) in a hooded cloak who proceeds to tell each of them their unpleasant fates.

All through the house, a woman kills her husband so she can begin living happily ever after until Santa stops by. He's been a bad boy and wants her head on a plate. This story was amazingly good and has a fantastic and memorable performance by Joan Collins as the scheming and frightened wife who's being chased around the house by a maniac dressed up as Santa.

Reflection of death, A man who is leaving his wife for a mistress without telling his wife dreams of his horrific car crash, unfortunately when he tries to find out where his mistress is it has been years since his death and his existence is a surprise to everyone. This one stars Ian Hendry and was it was my least favorite.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsDeath Lives!
By Spike Owen TOP 500 REVIEWER on 28 Oct. 2014
Format: DVD
Horror anthologies are invariably a mixed bag and Tales from the Crypt is no different in that respect. Five horror stories of fluctuating quality, it is however one of the best of the bunch and arguably the best from the house of Amicus.

The wrap around has five people taking a tour of spooky catacombs who get lured into a hidden crypt where a cowl wearing man reveals to them exactly why they are there.

Stories 3 & 5 are the better efforts here, boosted considerably by top grade lead character performances from Peter Cushing and Patrick Magee, but as always with anthology movies, there's something for everyone. So roll the dice horror fans and take a chance, this is great fun, a real popcorn and wine night in by the fire. 7/10

5.0 out of 5 starsClassic Horror
By Louis Morter on 30 May 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I remember being allowed to stay up late and watch these old hammer horrors if only to keep my mother safe ;-) Ooooh they were scary, especially when you're ten! Even today they have a sort of Twilight Zone feeling to them. I recall being blown away with episode with Ian Hendry being involved in a car accident only he got catapulted in to a year later. Great stuff, well made well acted!!!

5.0 out of 5 starsPossibly my favourite Bluray release this year and long overdue
By P Goodhead VINE VOICE on 2 Nov. 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Possibly my favourite Bluray release this year and long overdue.
Tales from the Crypt is the second in the series of Amicus portmanteau movies and for me, one of the very best.
With five excellent stories that do not outstay their welcome and an outstanding performance from Peter Cushing as Arthur Grimsdyke in his story, the presentation is also cleanly transferred to Bluray fully uncut and even comes with brand new 36 minute documentary on the subject too.
This is a must have and another thumbs up to Final Cut for releasing it. Now please do the same for Vault of Horror!

5.0 out of 5 starsFirst class horror
By A Customer on 30 Jun. 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is a fantastic transfer to dvd, the picture quality is almost pristine and in the correct aspect ratio 1.85:1
The sound is perfectly clear and audible. Yes, the original crypt keeper is misleading but that's only a niggle compared to what we get on the disc.
All in all, a long awaited release for a fantastic film given the treatment it deserves.
