While not as popular as Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror generated fans nonetheless. Each tale was a vivid and graphic adaptation from the gruesome pages of William Gaines EC comic books from two decades before, with most of them coming not from the series it was named for but from Tales from the Crypt and Shock Suspense Stories. Like the comics it was based on, the film takes gore to the next level and led to a lot of censorship when it was released to play on British television.
The realistic sets, creative adaptations of comic stories, and gory imagery help make Vault of Horror a memorable outing.
Vault of Horror has been made available on physical media but is not currently streaming on any platform.
