“Tales From the Crypt” Intro Gets Animated In 3D!!
For me, one of the most iconic opening sequences in the history of television is HBO’s “Tales From the Crypt.”
The lengthy opening takes viewers on a first-person tour of the Cryptkeeper’s haunted mansion before being jolted with a great jump-scare.
Now, thanks to Benabdallah Adel and Penoit Damien, with FX help from Omar Meradi and Toufik Mekbel, you can enjoy said opening sequence in 3-D animation!
“The respectful homage to the Tales from the Crypt TV show, added a modernized direction while staying true to the original creator’s vision by recreating the Intro sequence completely in CG to show their passion for the TV show and digital art,” they explain.
Here’s both the rendered 3-D animation with the original below for comparison.

The most iconic vampire of them all is coming back to life with a brand new Dracula audio drama from Audible, and Deadline reveals the cast of the upcoming adaptation this week.
Jonathan Bailey (Wicked: For Good) leads the cast of the English-language Audible Original production as legendary blood-sucker Count Dracula, alongside Ella Purnell (Fallout) as Mina, Aimee Lou Wood (The White Lotus) as Lucy, Louis Partridge (Enola Holmes) as Jonathan Harker, David Jonsson (The Long Walk) as Dr Seward, Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) as Mrs. Westenra, Johnny Flynn (Ripley) as Renfield, Francis Lovehall (A Thousand Blows) as Arthur, and Maggie Gyllenhaal (The Dark Knight) as Professor Van Helsing.
Deadline notes, “The Audible Original is also being produced in Castilian Spanish, French, German, Italian, LATAM Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese,” each with their own casts.
The English-language version will be directed by Mary Lambert (Pet Sematary)!
“When her fiancé vanishes in Transylvania, Mina Murray pieces together fragments of letters, diary entries and chilling testimony to hunt the predator stalking those she loves, only to discover he’s already hunting her. When Mina’s closest friend Lucy succumbs to his thrall, the enigmatic Professor Van Helsing is summoned to wage war on this unfathomable threat.
“But it is Mina, with her intellect, her resolve, her gift for drawing unseen lines between clues, who may hold the key to stopping this ancient predator—if he hasn’t already found his way inside her mind.”
Expect Dracula to sink his fangs into Audible on October 1, 2026.
