Trivia
The script under went many drafts, most changes involving the crypt keeper himself. First draft had him talking to the audience directly, the third draft did not contain a crypt keeper, and by the sixth draft it was decided he would interact with people in the stories. See more »Goofs
In the segment 'Poetic Justice', when one of Mr. Grimsdyke's dogs returns home, he says to his late wife's photograph, "Helen - look who's come back; our little Jamie." However, Mr.Grimsdyke's wife's name, which can be clearly seen on a gravestone later in the segment, was Mary. Peter Cushing, who played Mr. Grimsdyke, had very recently lost his own wife - whose name was Helen. See more »Quotes

Tales From the Crypt is a movie, that is different than most horror movies. It starts out with people wandering through a tomb on a tour, they stray away and end up locked in a crypt with a strange man in it. He tells them stories about what happened or what is about to happen to them.
The movie itself is stylishly made, and somewhat suspenseful. The acting in it is above par, and although the film itself never goes to being a triumph, it does stay entertaining till the end, to a shocking final twist. But I must say even though the film is PG, it's like JAWS, it has quite a bit of violence and blood in it, and parents should be warned that if this was released now it would be PG-13.
So if you're a fan of thrillers that are intelligent, scary, and stylish, Tales From the Crypt is one for you. And if you're one that just wants to waste a couple of hours, this is a fun movie, that you won't regret seeing.
