A lot of them worked on a scaled budget.* And it’s really amazing to see some of the names they could get. It had begun as an effort of love for these old comics that saw most of its guest directors, actors, and creators working out of genuine passion. The show aired on HBO from June 10th, 1989 to July 19th, 1996. Oh, and I didn’t even mention the ear worm theme song by Danny Elfman. Who was masterfully crafted by effects artist, Stan Winston. Add to that a ghoulish host, the Crypt Keeper. A fitting premise considering the show's inspiration. Each episode would feature a new terrifying tale. Most notably his EC Comic’s series, Tales from the Crypt. All of them fans, in some capacity, of the old pulp comics by creator, William Gaines.
