Historias de la cripta (Temporada 0)
Dead-On Humor and Horror.
"Historias de la cripta" comenzó a emitirse en televisión en 1989 con la intención de revindicar el género de terror con el mismo romanticismo que lo hiciera "La dimensión desconocida" de Rod Serling en la década de los 50 y 60. Las historias eran adaptaciones de la colección de cómics de terror que la editorial EC Comics había publicado en los 50, en los que los personajes se veían enfrentados a destinos de lo más tétrico y donde cada historia era presentada por "El Guardián de la Cripta", gran anfitrión del horror, que comentaba detalles escabrosos de cada cuento y que incluso se burlaba con ironía de los lectores. Esta forma de introducir el cómic se conservó en la serie de televisión en la que cada episodio está precedido por un muñeco cadavérico, que resulta una excelente versión del que aparecía en las historias originales de papel.

Sinopsis: The 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.

Duración: 25 min
Sinopsis: A 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.
