“Tales From the Crypt” Promo Video with M. Night Shyamalan?!
Back in December we broke the news here on Bloody Disgusting that TNT’s “Tales From the Crypt” had hit snag, causing a lengthy delay. Apparently, there are some rights issues that caused the cable channel to hit the pause button. With that said, they assured us that the Crypt Keeper’s return to the small screen was still in the cards, hopefully later this year.
“Tales From the Crypt” – part of TNT’s planned Horror Block, which was to also include “Time of Death” and “Creatures” – was greenlit last April as they were ramping up an initial 10-episode order of the anthology series that would have reinvented the Crypt Keeper, based on the original EC Comics. M. Night Shyamalan was to host/curate, which has got to have boosted in value since Split beat the crap out of the box office earlier this year.
Speaking of…Bloody Disgusting reader Xander A. came across a pair of promos for “Tales From the Crypt” that, for all intents and purposes, look very real.
The first is basically a glossy featurette with Shyamalan discussing his plans for the “Horror Block”, which sound abstract and immensely interesting. The second video, below, looks like an actual promo TNT would air to hype people to “Tales From the Crypt’s” return. It’s incredibly well made, but doesn’t really represent my own expectations. Michael Smiy allegedly directed it for mOcean and TNT.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
