And now the final battle for the universe begins. - Bordello of Blood
E4Bordello of BloodPrivate eye Rafe Guttman (Dennis Miller) is hired by repressed, born-again Katherine (Erika Eleniak) to find her missing bad-boy brother. The trail leads him to a whorehouse run by a thousand-year-old vampire (Angie Everhart) and secretly backed by Katherine's boss, televangelist Jimmy Current (Chris Sarandon). - From Comic Books to TelevisionE14
From Comic Books to TelevisionThe 50-minute documentary focuses on the history of EC, the publisher of Tales from the Crypt. It is engaging, informative and definitely entertaining, thanks to a nice mix of talking heads and animated recreations of the publisher's comics. If you enjoy the series, the story behind it is potentially even more fascinating, if only because it really happened. As the documentary leads into the creation of the HBO series, it is the perfect in-context extra for this set. - Cryptkeeper's History of Season OneE15
Cryptkeeper's History of Season OneA short (5:30) featurette provides an overview of how the series came together and a bit about each episode. Hosted by the Cryptkeeper, this is "his" version of the story, and thus, he was the motivating factor for everything. Again, this is done purely in his punny style, and thus should appeal to fans of his. Oddly, the description of the episodes in terms of their order differs from the order on this DVD and the generally accepted order. - Season II ShockumentaryE16
Season II ShockumentaryA "behind the screams" look at the making of Tales from the Crypt Season Two, covering the production of the second season of the show. Hosted by the Cryptkeeper, the piece looks at the show from all angles, including the influence of the comics, the talent involved and the creation of the Cryptkeeper himself. Interviews with Joel Silver and the Cryptkeeper's voice, John Kassir, among several others, help present an interesting, though brief retrospective of the show. - Fright and Sound: Bringing the Crypt Experience to RadioE17
Fright and Sound: Bringing the Crypt Experience to RadioA quick look at the creation of an episode of SciFi.com's Seeing Ear Theater short-lived series of "Tales from the Crypt" episodes. Recorded live at the Museum of Television and Radio, with Tim Curry as the narrator. From the season 2 set.
