The Prologue

from Recrypted: A Tales From The Crypt Podcast · host Film Stories

"Greetings, Boils and Ghouls! Welcome to the mausoleum..." Before we start digging into specific graves, we’re cracking open the tomb of Tales From The Crypt to see exactly where the bodies are buried. In this inaugural "Prologue", hosts Dan Owen & Hugh McStay set the stage for Recrypted—the ultimate post-mortem of a horror TV icon. In this appetiser, we exhume the origins of the franchise... from the ink-stained pages of 1950s EC Comics to the star-studded, practical-effects-heavy heights of the 1989-1996 HBO anthology series.
