The Tales from the Crypt 1972 Ultimate Guide will fill you with the creeping dread and raw horror of the movie itself, with beautifully restored stills and compelling information bringing the story to life.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Movie studio Amicus made an unforgettable mark on the horror cinema landscape with their 1972 chiller Tales from the Crypt<\/em>. It wasn\u2019t their first portmanteau movie but it remains one of their most beloved, its collection of compact stories offering five times the terror. Our luxury Ultimate Guide leads you through the Crypt Keeper\u2019s eerie catacombs to rediscover a menacing and often nightmarish motion picture that has shocked audiences for almost half a century.<\/p>\n

\"Tales<\/p>\n

The glorious image reproduction – with every still, poster and lobby card restored to the highest standard – means our\u00a0Tales from the Crypt<\/em>\u00a0magazine guide is one of a kind. The wealth of horrific images, from Arthur Grimsdyke\u2019s return from the grave to Carl Maitland\u2019s ghastly reflection, will haunt you all over again as our stunning production values awaken all those beloved flesh-creeping memories.<\/p>\n

\"Tales<\/p>\n

Our Tales from the Crypt<\/em>\u00a0Ultimate Guide is simply bursting with information, lighting up the movie\u2019s dark corners to uncover a wealth of facts and details that will enhance any viewing of this horror favourite. You\u2019ll discover the winding path that led to its production, and explore its place in the genre as a whole. And while insightful articles, written to the highest standard, bring you a greater understanding of the movie, you\u2019ll find every page bursts with gorgeous imagery to immerse you in Amicus\u2019 iconic netherworld.<\/p>\n

\"Tales<\/p>\n

As well as the film itself, you\u2019ll meet the many talents who turned it into a reality. Biographies of the cast will reveal more about the lives of the likes of Joan Collins, Ian Hendry, Peter Cushing and Ralph Richardson, as well as director Freddie Francis and Amicus founders Milton Subostky and Max J Rosenberg. This combination of richly informative text and wondrously restored imagery makes our\u00a0Tales from the Crypt<\/em> magazine guide a compelling tribute to a most iconic production.<\/p>\n

\"Tales<\/p>\n

As you\u2019ll discover in our\u00a0Tales from the Crypt<\/em> Ultimate Guide, the portmanteau format served to create a uniquely enthralling horror movie experience. Like Amicus\u2019 other anthology tales, Tales from the Crypt<\/em> covered several different types of horror, with the home invasion of \u2018\u2026 And All Through the House\u2019 and zombie terror in \u2018Poetic Justice\u2019 just the tip of an unforgettable iceberg. This whistle-stop tour of different characters and events is a highlight in many horror fans\u2019 collections.<\/p>\n

\"Tales<\/p>\n

The Crypt Keeper\u2019s tour will soon be at an end and it seems he\u2019s hiding something.
