Tales from the Crypt is an American horror anthology TV series that ran from 1989 to 1996 on HBO. It was based on the 1950's EC Comics series of the same name and was produces by the Geffen Film Company in association with Warner Bros. Television.
Each episode began with a title sequence that was a tracking shot scored by a Danny Elfman theme that led from the front door of the Cryptkeeper's home down hallways and stairways to the basement, where the show's host, the Crypt Keeper would pop out from a coffin, cackling wildly. Then the wisecracking, decomposing corpse (voiced by John Kassir), would introduce the episode with intentionally corny puns. Each episode was a single story, and many had notable celebrity guest stars such as Brad Pitt, Demi Moore, Martin Sheen and others. Many famous celebrities,such as Tom Hanks, Michael J. Fox and Arnold Schwarzenegger, also directed some episodes of the series. TALES FROM THE CRYPT
