    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Purposely released on Friday, January 13 because the Tales From The Crypt movies were originally to be tied with traditional "horror weekends" such as Friday the 13th or Halloween.
    • Goofs
      When Jeryline fills the key with Braykers blood you can see it is pumping out,something which would not happen after his heart had stopped.
    • Quotes

      The Collector: [Brayker has just burned his face with the Key causing him to jump off the window] HUMANS... You're not worth the flesh you're printed on...

      [taking off his outfit]

      The Collector: Fuck this cowboy shit! You fucking hoedown, podunk, well them there motherfuckers! All you had to do was give me the goddamn key! Then we could get on with our lives.

      [cuts his hand to make new creatures]

      The Collector: Alright... this house is hereby... condemned...

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the credits, there is a short sequence of The Cryptkeeper asking the audience why they are still there and then inviting them to see the next Tales From the Crypt theatrical release Dead Easy (Which was the working title for the follow up Tales From the Crypt film, Bordello of Blood).

      This sequence existed on the VHS and DVD releases of Demon Knight, but was removed on the Laserdisc and Blu-Ray versions of this film.
    • Alternate versions
      In the Sci-Fi channel version, the scene where Uncle Willy is tricked by the Collector was altered so that the girls in the scene would be wearing bikini tops.
    • Connections
      Featured in Pantera: Cemetery Gates (Demon Knight Version) (1995)
    • Soundtracks
      Hey Man Nice Shot
      Written by Richard Patrick
      Performed by Filter

    One helluva Soundtrack!!! Oh, and the movie rocked too...
    Okay, first off, any soundtrack that includes Megadeth, Pantera, Biohazard and Sepultura has got to rock... Cemetery Gates is one of the greatest Pantera songs ever. That said, let's talk about the movie.

    This movie would be on a top-five list of my all time favourite horror movies. Everyone pulled through with great performances, particularly Zane, who stole every scene he was in (who unfortunately went on to do Titanic which I had the displeasure to see). Great story, great performances, definitely lives up to the Tales From The Crypt name (better than Bordello of blood). So good it goes up to 11.

    11 out of 10 stars.
