On March 8, 1972, we witnessed the shocking suspense of… “Tales from the Crypt!” Based on the lyrically lurid EC Comics stories, this Amicus anthology features some of the most potent chills in British cinema. While all of the segments are strong, “And All Through the House” and “Poetic Justice” are absolutely legendary and set the standard for all subsequent holiday horror flicks. Marvelously morbid!
AN AMICUS PRODUCTION (starting at top left to right): TALES FROM THE CRYPT (1972), THE VAULT OF HORROR (1973) , THE HOUSE THAT DRIPPED BLOOD (1971), ASYLUM (1972), AND NOW THE SCREAMING STARTS (1973), I, MONSTER (1971), TORTURE GARDEN (1967), THE BEAST MUST DIE (1974), DANGER ROUTE (1967) and DR.TERROR’S HOUSE OF HORRORS (1965).
Makers of some mighty fine horror anthologies!
