In this episode, we dig up one of horror’s foundational anthology films—Tales from the Crypt (1972). From crumbling catacombs to karmic justice, we dissect how this British horror classic brought EC Comics' grisly morality tales to the big screen. Jerome explores the film’s influence on genre storytelling, its unforgettable host the Crypt Keeper (before the wisecracks), and the eerie elegance of Amicus Productions’ golden era. Plus: what makes anthology horror so timeless? And why do these tales of poetic justice still hit so hard? Tune in, if you dare.
