Tales From The Crypt
When five unwary travelers with dark hearts stumble into a series of catacombs, they find themselves in a cavern with no way out. But the horror’s only just begun as a mysterious figure appears to reveal to each person the shocking events that will lead to their well-deserved, untimely – and unavoidable – demise. Starring Joan Collins (Empire Of The Ants), Peter Cushing (Horror Of Dracula), Patrick Magee (A Clockwork Orange) and Sir Ralph Richardson (Rollerball), and directed by Freddie Francis (The Creeping Flesh), Tales From The Crypt is the original, gets-right-under-your-skin creepfest!
Vault Of Horror
Available uncut for the first time on home video! Five unsuspecting hotel guests step into an elevator, which leads them into an underground vault. Trapped with no way out, each guest shares a gruesome tale of an encounter with death. But as the stories unfold, the men begin to suspect that their presence in the vault is no coincidence, and that the only way out…is death. Starring Tom Baker (Doctor Who), Denholm Elliott (Raiders Of The Lost Ark), Curt Jurgens (The Mephisto Waltz) and Michael Craig (Mysterious Island), this ferociously entertaining film is a worthy sequel to Tales From The Crypt! Includes unrated and theatrical versions.

Both of these movies are composed of several "mini stories". They are based on the old comics of the same names. The Stories are fun and the "Monkeys Paw" variant is certainly disturbing. These were made in the early 70's with some great classic British Actors. But this is the early 70's so the stories are very tame by modern standards. If you are a fan of older movies you will be please with the picture quality in both. A few small parts have grainy video but overall it is great to see a nice crisp picture. Recommended for fans of old school horror! Sluggo

I am a big fan of Tales From the Crypt and Amicus in general. I had not seen Vault prior to this purchase, but really enjoyed it. The picture and sound quality are great, however I wish there was more features. I hope Shout Factory does more of the British Gothic horror from Hammer and Amicus.
