Why it’s HorroRated
Five stories, five terrible people, five very satisfying outcomes. Tales from the Crypt is EC Comics brought to life with a real mean streak and a keeper who clearly enjoys his job. It's tidy, it's dark, and the moral math is always balanced at the end. A perfect anthology.
Synopsis
A small group wanders into the catacombs below a cemetery and meets a figure who seems to have been expecting them. He walks each visitor through a tale about their worst impulses and what followed from those impulses. Tidy, mean, and morally satisfying in the way only horror that believes in consequences can be.
