Synopsis – What to Expect from “Tales from the Crypt”
Tales from the Crypt is a 1972 British horror anthology film directed by Freddie Francis. It is based on stories from EC Comics’ The Crypt of Terror series.
The film opens with a group of five strangers, four men and one woman, who meet in a crypt beneath an old church. They are informed that they have been chosen to witness a series of stories, each of which will reveal a lesson about life.
The first story follows a mean-spirited old miser, who is visited by the mysterious Crypt Keeper. He is offered a chance to win a fortune, but at a terrible price. The second story follows a young couple, whose marriage is tested when one of them is offered a chance to become rich.
The third story follows a young man who is seduced by a beautiful woman who turns out to be a vampire. The fourth story follows a doctor who discovers a secret serum that can bring the dead back to life. The fifth story follows a man who is condemned to death for a crime he did not commit, and is given a chance to escape his fate.
The stories are interspersed with the Crypt Keeper’s commentary, which reveals the moral of each tale. When the stories are finished, the Crypt Keeper reveals the fate of each of the strangers. It turns out that each of them has been chosen to face a similar fate to that of the characters in the stories.
The film ends with the Crypt Keeper warning
