One Fan Just Upscaled the Classic Intro to HBO’s “Tales from the Crypt” in Glorious HD! [Video]
HBO’s anthology series “Tales from the Crypt” has still to this day never been released on Blu-ray, but thankfully horror fans are some of the most passionate people on the planet. Just in time for Halloween, Reddit’s Seth_Brundle_Fly has shared a fun little project he put together, upscaling the classic intro to the series in HD using AI upscaling software from Topaz!
Seth explains, “Taken from the Demon Knight source DVD and scaled up with machine learning. Unfortunately the original full frame 4:3 DVD television series release exhibits too many interlacing artifacts to make it a candidate for upscaling (at least not with good results) — so until someone releases the original show on Blu-ray and remastered, this will have to do.”
A brief clip from Episode 2, the Christmas-themed “And All Through the House,” was also upscaled to HD by Seth_Brundle_Fly, and it can be viewed in 2160p 4K over on YouTube.
The intros for other horror shows are being upscaled using the same technology, including Are You Afraid of the Dark?, and they’ll be uploaded to the YouTube channel Thirteenth Floor.

Last week we learned that Steve Buscemi had joined the cast of “Wednesday” Season 2 at Netflix, and Variety lets us know that Thandiwe Newton (“Westworld”) has also signed on.
Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” with Steve Buscemi playing the new principal of Nevermore Academy.
Jenna Ortega stars in the hit series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Christina Ricci also appears in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.
“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…
“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners, with Tim Burton executive producing and directing several episodes of the show’s debut season.
We don’t know much about “Wednesday” Season 2 at the moment but Jenna Ortega has promised that the new season will be “bolder” and darker than the first season of the series.
“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more,” Ortega said last year.
