There was a time when "Tales from the Crypt" was the jewel in HBO's crown . Based on ultra-gory, super-lascivious EC Comics from the 1950s, "Tales from the Crypt" was a wicked, bloody anthology series that boasted "Twilight Zone"-like morality tales, only with more cussing, sex, gore, and nudity. The series was hosted by a pun-enthused rotting corpse called the Cryptkeeper, voiced by John Kassir, and he would read tales out of his castle basement, eager to see the protagonists get dismembered. The series was a huge hit, and it attracted gigantic stars on a regular basis. Tom Hanks appeared on the show, and Arnold schwarzenegged directed one. Indeed, throw a rock in a room full of actors who were active in the early 1990s, and you'll hit someone who was on "Tales from the Crypt."
