Tales from the Crypt: Season 4 DVD

Monsters. Madness. Mayhem. And, of course, the Crypt Keeper’s bad puns! Tales from the Crypt returns from the grave once more to reanimate the best in humor and horror. Check out all 14 Season 4 episodes hosted by the comically cadaverous Crypt Keeper. Here for your warped amusement are the episodes “Split Personality,” about a lounge lizard (Joe Pesci) getting more than he bargained for when he marries identical twins; “Werewolf Concerto,” with Timothy (“Bond James Bond”) Dalton on the hunt for a lupine fiend; and “Beauty Rest,” with Mimi Rogers as an actress who'd kill for a part. Plus keep an eye out for Tom Hanks, Sugar Ray Leonard, Dylan McDermott, Christopher Reeve, 80s rocker Adam Ant and a hot-rodding Brad Pitt in these frightfully fun tales from filmmakers such as Lethal Weapon’s Richard Donner, The Walking Dead’s Frank Darabont and The Matrix’s Joel Silver.

There's a bloody good time to be had by all as the ghoulish Cryptkeeper introduces 13 more stories of horror and havoc in season four of Tales From the Crypt. Treat Williams stars in the season opener "None but the Lonely Heart," playing a gigolo whose past history of murdering old women for their money literally comes back to haunt him. This episode, together with the subsequent "This'll Kill Ya" and "On a Deadman's Chest," was originally presented as part of a 90-minute special. The rest of the season follows the standard story-per-week format, beginning with "Séance," starring Ben Cross and Cathy Moriarity in a malevolent morality play about crooked lawyers and a restless, revenge-seeking spirit. A few weeks later, Christopher Reeve stars in "What's Cookin'," in which a greasy spoon greatly increases its clientele by adding a sinister special ingredient to their barbecue sauce. Other highlights include "Showdown" and "King of the Road," which together comprised the pilot episode of the proposed spin-off series Two Fisted Tales; "Strung Along," with Donald O'Connor as an aging puppeteer whose philandering wife is taught a painful lesson by one of her husband's woodenheaded creations; "Werewolf Concerto," featuring Timothy Dalton as a werewolf hunter who may well have met his match; and the season four finale "Curiosity Killed," another fountain of youth yarn with dire consequences for those who drink too deeply.
