Tales from the Crypt - The Complete First Season
Based on the legendary and gruesome EC Comics from publisher William Gaines, this horror anthology featured stories of murder, the super natural, gore and humor and always had a twist ending of sorts. Some of Hollywood's biggest names took part, either working in front or behind the camera. Hosting duties fell to everyone's favorite decaying corpse, the Cryptkeeper. The success of this series spawned a Saturday morning cartoon series (Tales From the Cryptkeeper), a short-lived Saturday morning game show on CBS (Secrets of the Cryptkeeper's Haunted House) and lots of merchandise. Two feature films (Demon Knight and Bordello of Blood) were also produced and released in the late 90's. The TV series originally aired on HBO, but was later syndicated to Fox, the Sci-Fi Channel, and most recently AMC. Despite being a short season (only 6 episodes), Season 1 enjoyed the highest ratings in its HBO airings.

The First of Many
rating: 4
At first I was a bit hesitant to buy this season first just because there are only 6 episodes in this set. I wanted a set with a whole bunch of episodes to re-introduce myself to Tales, but I bought the first season first anyway, I figured I'd start from the beginning.
Season One offers some really cool "short films" from some of Hollywood's biggest producers (Zemeckis, Hill, and Donner), and their style is felt throughout each episode. My personal favorite in this set is "The Man Who Was Death" which features William Sadler (of Demon Knight). Other highlights include: "And All Through the House," and "Dig That Cat...He's Real Gone."
Not only are most of the episodes really cool, but the packaging is really rad too. My only complaint here is that the Crypt Keeper hadn't found his trademark voice yet...but oh well, there are still some fun episodes in this set.
