Tales from the Crypt

Lots of extraordinary episodes, a mass of average ones and also a couple of really bad ones. A pleasant project where a lot of talented and famous names started out, or gained valuable experience. This includes screenwriters, directors and actors. Its main quality lies in the unforgettable presenter with a very strange sense of humor. Pleasant bedtime viewing for adults on Friday evenings. Split Second (5/5) One of the best episodes. Better not to let on anything about it - just let the Crypt Keeper keep you entertained... Lumberjack sushi roll is on the menu. (2009-07-20)

A must-watch for horror fans and a pleasant opportunity for others to get acquainted with the essence of the genre, typically presented in an above-average manner. With numerous episodes, there are inevitably some lackluster ones, but the majority feature imaginative stories, often with surprising twists and the appropriate atmosphere. The half-hour runtime prevents the "fluffy padding" common in feature-length films. A significant advantage is the chosen light-hearted approach, where the creators play with genre clichés and audience expectations in a slightly parodic spirit. Overall impression: 80%. (2006-06-25)
