Great movie. Too bad the comic book "The Haunt of Fear" got no credit in the film because the two stories, "Poetic Justice" and "Wish You Were Here" were featured in "The Haunt of Fear." Ralph Richardson made a great Crypt Keeper. I just wish we had more anthology films like this.

As for the sequel "The Vault of Horror" I can't believe we here in the USA get the censored version on DVD. That's the only flaw I can say the movie has and also the fact that there were no adapted stories from "The Vault of Horror" comic books. Four were from "Tales from the Crypt" and one was from "Shock SuspenStories." Still... it's a good movie.
