Product Description Tales From the Crypt: The Complete Second Season (DVD)Welcome back, fiends, for more deadtime stories. Settle in with these die-abolical dramas – all 18 uncut (but variously stabbed, electro-volted, haunted, twisted, incarcerated, incarnated, voodoo-ized and even vampirized) episodes from the second season of Tales from the Crypt! The Cryptkeeper is again your gleefully macabre host for a frightfest of classic E.C. Comics stories involving a for-the-money honey (Demi Moore) hoping for a big, fat inheritance; a cartoonist (Harry Anderson) whose creations come to life (and death); a ventriloquist (Don Rickles) and an idolizing wannabe (Bobcat Goldthwait); and poker players for whom a losing hand could mean exactly that. Ante up for these and more tales. They're absolute monsterpieces!]]> .com Here are 18 more eye-popping episodes from HBO's shiver-shudder-and-shriek anthology series, adapted from the pages of E.C. Comics' legendary horror comics. Season 2 of Tales from the Crypt doesn't back down from the promise made by its debut season: some of the biggest names in Hollywood do their best in front of and behind the camera to deliver the gory goods, with a healthy dash of Tales' signature coal-black humor. There's Demi Moore as a classic E.C. femme fatale in Howard Deutch's "Dead Right"; Desperate Housewives' Teri Hatcher co-stars with a reanimated corpse in "The Thing from the Grave"; Iggy Pop and the voice of Sam Kinison are featured in a sinister story of music and murder in "For Cryin' Out Loud"; and Arnold Schwarzenegger makes his directorial debut with the macabre "The Switch." Series co-producers Walter Hill and Richard Donner also contribute creepfests, as do horror vets Jack Sholder, Tom Holland, and special effects designer Chris Walas; other performers facing fearsome fates include Patricia Arquette, Don Rickles, Bobcat Goldthwait, Lance Henriksen, and Harry Anderson. The three-disc set definitely delivers a triple treat of terror, but unfortunately, the supplemental features are a little (ahem) anemic, especially in comparison to the solid extras in the first-season set. Here, fans only get a short behind-the-scenes featurette that focuses mainly on actor John Kassir, who provides the Crypt Keeper's voice, and a glimpse at a Tales episode done for radio with Tim Curry. --Paul Gaita

Tales From The LaMicale's 3
I must say that I really enjoyed revisiting the past with this Season 2 from Tales From The Crypt.I was an adolescent when this series was on television. Some of my favorite episodes were and still is ©Dead Right, ©The Switch, ©For Cryin' Out Loud, ©The Ventriloquist's Dummy & ©Korman's Kalamity.And, those were the episodes I remembered. There are a few episodes that are worth checking out that I didn't see because I was in school or my mom wouldn't let me because of the content. ©Judy, You're Not Yourself TodayA woman is warned by her husband not to open the door for strangers but as most wife's do or should I say don't listen decides to let in an elderly woman that seems harmless. Well, that's where everything starts and she switches bodies due to an amulet that intrigues Judy.©Four-Sided TriangleLet me start off by saying, " I love Patricia Arquette(Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors)" is the reason why I got to know this actress. A teenage girl is being held captive against her will but comes to grips with her situation because of a scarecrow that she believes comes to life. It was a little twisted[plot] but all and all a great episode.©Fitting PunishmentI enjoyed this episode because it was the only one with a predominantly all black cast. And, it definitely shows how tough it is being black in America, especially after losing both parents to a tragic accident. Then, having to go live with a relative that doesn't really care about that individual's problems. Also getting put to work in the family business for room and board.Last thing, if you've ever been a fan of the show its a must have because it makes up for such a short Season 1(6 Episodes) and it's very funny...

Tales From The Crypt - The Complete Second Season
Oh, the horror, the horror! The one thing that some of the user reviewers are not addressing about Tales From The Crypt is the adult nature of this former HBO presentation. There are a lot of you out there who have never seen or heard of this program, have seen sanitized versions in syndication, or have just heard whispers of the legend of its reputation as scary stuff. I am here to tell you that this is for the adults in the crowd. There is SEX and full NUDITY in some of these episodes. There is adult language in many of these episodes that would make the cowboys in "Deadwood" blush. The gore effects - the splattered blood and the slicing and the dicing and the cutting and the chopping and the everything else you can think of - still looks like state-of-the-art horror/terror fun. And to top it all off is the fact that several of the top-level horror/fantasy/action directors, and many A/B level actors/actresses participated in making this a fantastic show with very good acting performances. I'm talking about Richard Donner, Walter Hill, Robert Zemeckis, Tom Holland, and several real surprises. I am pro-Tales From The Crypt! If you love horror and terror tales this is the show for you. Buy it, love it, and never look back. Just be prepared for the adult content. This show WILL give young children nightmares. It would be child abuse to let a child under the age of thirteen watch the episode "All Through The House." And that is my opinion on one episode from the FIRST season. As a fan of this kind of stuff you will be amazed when you read the credits of some of the episodes because of the who's who factor. Have fun. Now all I need is Tales From The Darkside and Friday The Thirteenth The Series on dvd box set. Oh yea, while you are here on Amazon.com, type in Alfred Hitchcock Presents for one hell of a surprise!

Another brilliant season of the legendary series
The second season of HBO's Tales From the Crypt piled on the gore and gallows humor, not to mention the guest stars and those behind the camera as well. John Kassir is once again the voice of the Cryptkeeper as he provides 18 bloody tales of murder, mayhem, the supernatural, and other things you'll have to see to believe. Standout episodes here are "Dead Right", in which Demi Moore stars as a gold digger who gets everything she wishes for and then some; "The Switch", a tale of an old millionaire looking for a new lease on life (which was directed by none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger!); "Korman's Kalamity", which stars Harry Anderson as a cartoonist whose horriffic drawings are coming to life; and "The Secret" which features a young orphan given a life of luxury, but both his foster parents and he have some deadly secrets. The aforementioned episodes are some of the best the series ever offered, but it's "Cutting Cards", "Fitting Punishment", and the brilliant "Lower Berth" that are landmarks of the series, as well as "Television Terror" starring Morton Downey as a trash TV host who gets much, much more than he bargained for when he investigates a haunted house. For fans of the series, this entire DVD set is a must own, but it's a shame that there weren't many extras thrown in. Nevertheless, for those of us who have been waiting for complete season sets, you already know that this is a must have.

If you were a fan of this show back in the day, you'll still enjoy re-watching these.
I still love this series, although, when I first watched it, I was a lot younger (early teens) and the 'silliness' and comedy horror style was a bit more enjoyable back then. Still, I am nostalgic on this series, but the comedy now that I'm 20-25 years older is a bit more silly than what I enjoy most at my age now. But I still love this series, and silly or not, I still LOVE the Crypt Keeper's intro's and wrap-up dialogue that is funny (even hilarious and cute) just as much as ever. I guess some aspects of my personality haven't matured. ;) I aim to eventually own all seven seasons of this show, when I can budget and afford to do so.

Twice the charm
Season 2 is a belter to be sure, more short tales to tell and more cameos. The cryptkeeper is as funny as ever if not funnier. There is everything a horror fan would want all in one season, this is the best of the seasons in my opinion.

Terroríficamente Increíble
Una carátula con una presentación increíble y cuidada. La serie... no puedo ser objetivo ya que es de mis preferidas desde bien pequeño. Historias independientes de terror narradas por nuestro querido Guardián de la Cripta y siempre con un final inesperado y con moraleja. Muchas estrellas de Hollywood han pasado por la serie (incluyendo a un Brad Pitt teeneger, Winona Rider, Tom Hanks, etc etc..)Audio en inglés, pero incluye subtítulos en español.OJO: Si tu reproductor no lee formato NTSC, no podréis reproducirlos.
