Tales From The Crypt- The First Season

[Stephen of Borg 2]

Finally, the seasons of Tales From The Crypt are finally on DVD. It's what every fan has been waiting for, the only disappointment I have is that there are only six episodes in this season. They should have combined seasons one and two together like Ren and Stimpy among others have done. The first three "The Man Who Was Death", "And all through the House" and "Dig that Cat he's Real Gone" come on the Scifi Channel all of the time which leaves really only three episode that I haven't seen a thousand times.

 

Overall, I still recommend getting these, especially if you are a fan of this series, and I am big time. I also plan to get this, these are great episodes. But being a fan, it leaves me wishing there was more, especially since we've been waiting forever for the seasons to finally come out on DVD. At least we get the uncensored version and a few extras. That alone will make it worth the buy. I just hope Season 2 comes out sometime this year, to quench my thirst for this great series, because six episodes is just a glass half full, I want more! I wonder if they will ever release the "Tales from the Cryptkeeper" cartoon series; that was good too. Anyway, it comes out July 12 on DVD.

"Lover come Back to Me" Directed by Tom Holland. A man marries a woman (Amanda Plummer) for her money but soon finds himself in for more than he bargained for with her family.
