(1992) Greetings, fiends. HBO’s ghoulish and often grotesque horror series, inspired by the stories of 1950s EC comic books, may be consigned to the television morgue known as cancellation, but DVD has revived the corpses of another 14 episodes. John Kassir cackles the pun-laden introductions as your decaying host, the Cryptkeeper, introducing episodes directed by Tom Hanks, William Friedkin, John Frankenheimer, Tom Holland, Gary Fleder, Richard Donner and others, and starring Tom Hanks, Treat Williams, Mimi Rogers, Christopher Reeve, David Warner, Brad Pitt, Joe Pesci, Timothy Dalton, and Dennis Farina. 14 episodes on 3 discs in a box set of 2 thinpak cases.
