By Donald on March 22, 2006 Format: DVD This is a pretty great selection of episodes. As with any season some episodes are better then others and there are a few duds. This is actually the best season released so far in my opinion, season 2 is good but there are to many zombie revenge episodes. You may also notice that the episodes here are noticably longer then in season 1 or 2. Most of these episodes run close to the 30 minute mark (Even a 40 minute episode). In previous seasons the episodes only ran around 20-22 minutes. Also, the introduction that was missing in previous seasons is rightfully included. I recommend this for any fan of the show, the extras on this set are alot better then the ones on season 2. It should also be noted that the box is different then seasons 1 and 2. This one has 2 small dvd cases inside the box rather then a fold out digipackRead full review

For seven seasons throughout the 1990s, HBO served up gore splattered fun in their resurrection of William M. Gaines' Tales From the Crypt (a 1950s comic book series that eventually was banned for publication by the Comic Book Ratings Code.) Each episode is introduced by that giggling gargoyle the Crypt Keeper who delights in taunting his viewers with exceptionally wicked puns. ("Hello Boils and Ghouls . . . tonight's nauseating narrative is about a musician who wanted to be the King of Rot and Roll . . . etc.) The episodes themselves, all remakes of comic book tales pried from the sickening vaults of 1950s E.C. comics including Tales From the Crypt, Vault of Horror, and Crime Suspense Stories. With Richard Donner, Joel Silver, and Walter Hill all serving as executive producers, Crypt guarantees viewers slick production values and top casting all contained within a 25 minute short film. And being a HBO production, the producers are allowed to spew out R-rated thrillers with generous portions of violence, profanity, gory shock effects, and SEX!! That's right, the original Crypt tales delighted in presenting fetching females in various stages of distress and undress and HBO delivers in the lurid sex dept. Just another reason whey fans will savor digging up this and other volumes of Tales From the Crypt. Hee-hee-heeeeeeeeeee.Read full review
For the most part I was satisfied with the condition of the product, and extreamly satisfied with the content. My main concern with the boxset is the is in the way that the product is packaged, where as seasons 1 and 2 had a unfolding case, season 3 (or at least the version that I have) is simply a box with two mini dvd cases inside, the cases including the descriptions to all of seasons 3's episodes. I am not sure if this is something that the distributer started doing to all the box sets of Tales from the Crypt after the first two seasons or mearly the version that I have. While the show is still wonderful and the item is a must have for any Tales from the Crypt fan, it does give the impression that the item is cheaper and not put together as well. Nevertheless, this makes it no harder to enjoy.Read full review
Love the movies that were made from the series but it purchased this particular series because Michelle Johnson was in it. She is one of the sexiest actresses and was I have loved her since Blame it on Rio.
