Horror fans like ourselves have been waiting a long time for HBO’s classic series “Tales from the Crypt” to pop up on streaming, and Shudder is now making those dreams come true.
For the first time EVER, HBO’s “Tales from the Crypt” is now streaming and you’ll find the series exclusively on Shudder as part of this year’s “Halfway to Halloween” celebration!
Featuring the iconic Crypt Keeper, voiced by John Kassir, the series’ first season debuted TODAY, with additional seasons rolling out weekly every Friday through June 12.
All seven seasons will be presented fully uncut and uncensored.
Inspired by the EC Comics tales, each episode of “Tales from the Crypt” offers a self-contained story hosted by the Crypt Keeper (Kassir), a wisecracking corpse known for his macabre puns. With its signature unrestricted gore, profanity, and dark irony, the show’s episode styles range from comedy to drama and deliver twisted moral lessons where “bad people” meet poetically horrific ends – and issues like greed, lust, and moral decay lead to tragic consequences.
The original HBO series featured a long list of Hollywood A-list guest stars, including Brad Pitt, Demi Moore, Michael J. Fox, John Lithgow, Christopher Reeve, Catherine O’Hara, Steve Buscemi, Brooke Shields, and many more. The talent also extended behind the camera, with notable directors including Robert Zemeckis, Tobe Hooper, and William Friedkin, as well as Tom Hanks, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Michael J. Fox.
The reopening of the Tales from the Crypt content archive is made possible by Dark Castle Entertainment, Lauren Shuler Donner, and Walter Hill (Tales from the Crypt Holdings).
