Amazon.com:
Been dying for another dose of chills from your old poison pal, the Crypt-Keeper? Then pull up a slab and revisit all the repulsive goings-on in the third season of Tales from the Crypt, the over-the-top TV anthology inspired by the classic E.C. horror comics of the '50s. All 14 episodes of the 1991 season are compiled in this three-disc set; as with previous seasons, the shows serve up gruesome tongue-in-cheek fables adapted from the original comics (and spiced up with some liberal nudity and impressive special effects), and with a host of Hollywood talent in front of and behind the camera. Series producers Robert Zemeckis and Walter Hill each contribute a creepshow apiece (the impressive season closer 'Yellow,' with Kirk Douglas and Dan Aykroyd, and 'Deadline,' with CSI's Marg Helgenberger, respectively), while Michael J. Fox stars and directs the season opener 'The Trap' (which co-stars Teri Garr and Bruno Kirby). Elsewhere, Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) gets gruesome with Whoopi Goldberg in the voodoo vengeance story 'Dead Wait,' while action veterans Russell Mulcahy (Highlander), Stephen Hopkins (The Life and Death of Peter Sellers), and Steven De Souza (screenwriter on Die Hard) each unleash their inner spook engines on an episode, with Hopkins's bizarre 'Abra Cadaver' (with Tony Goldwyn and Beau Bridges as dueling doctor siblings) a perfect summation of the Crypt spirit and the season highlight. The third-season set is rounded out by a trifecta of extras: A Tall Tales Panel is a 14-minute look at the season, with comments by a panel of series participants recorded at Comic Con in San Diego. A Tales from the Crypt Reunion is the complete half-hour panel discussion, and Crypt Jam is a frothy music video composed of clips from the season. --Paul Gaita

Rating:  - Even better then I remembered
I recently purchased most of the season from Tales from the Crypt and couldn't be more happy. This is one of my all time favorite shows. I remember when I was young how great the stories were and only hoped they would hold up now. Luckily they are even better then I remembered. The perfect amount of horror and comedy make this series worth every penny. I am going to break down the episodes Season 3 provides;
Loved to Death:(Starring Andrew McCarthy) This story is centered around a screen play writer looking to create the ultimate love story. However his masterpiece may tragically be cut short due to a love potion used on his crazy neighbor.
Carrion Death:(Starring Kyle Maclachlan) A robber being chased by one officer on his way to Mexico. He may be carrying some extra baggage along the way.
The Trap: Loser Lou Piloma decides to fake his own death to cash in on his life insurance policy. He will not have the last laugh.
Abra Cadaver:(Starring Beau Bridges) After a prank by his brother Beau Bridgeswill never have the promising medical career his imagined. However he will get the ultimate revenge in the end.
Top Billing:(Starring John Lovitz) A struggling actor may finally have "the look" for a part but may wish he passed up this role.
Dead Wait:(Starring Whoopi Goldberg) A man in search of a black pearl on a remote island may loose much more then he has to gain.
The Reluctant Vampire:(Starring George Wendt) ... Read More
Rating: - Tales from the crypt
Love the episodes. Everything arrived on time and in great condition. Gave it as a gift. Worked out well.
Rating:  - One of the few best seasons of the entertaining series
Except poor transfer quality of the set (not better than your old VHS copies)this is the most gruesome, dark and most bloody season. What happened to those slick package designs of first two seasons? It doesn't even fit with others. Collector's nightmare... Grrrr....
Rating: - Bought for my boyfriend
My boyfriend is crazy about this show. I bought this for him for Christmas. He just can't get enough of it. I enjoy this show too. It has mystery and humor. I like that. I recommend this show to anyone who likes a bit of horror and mystery. You might need a strong stomach too. It does have a bit of gore. But this show is very good.
Rating: - Great Season
I watched this show a lot growing up, and for the most part the shows holds up to my memories. Many of the episodes are excellent, and I watch them quite a bit. The "twist" to most of the episodes is pretty standard, so you can kind of figure out what is going to happen, however there are still a lot of surprises and great examples of story telling.
