Tales from the Crypt shows chilling consequences for immoral actions, like a twisted Aesop fable. A year later, the movie spawned a sequel, Vault of Horror, also based on the EC Comic books. While it wasn’t the first horror movie with vignettes, the film arguably could have been the source of inspiration for The Simpsons’ annual “Treehouse of Horror” show, Hammer’s House of Horrors, and countless others.
Altogether, Tales from the Crypt is a 4.0/5.0-star movie. Great acting, eerie settings, and fascinating tales of terror at every turn make it worth watching and rewatching.
The original Tales from the Crypt movie can be streamed for free with Tubi, Roku, and Crackle or with a subscription to Fubo.
