Not to be mistaken with Tales from the Crypt- Demon Knight.
Plot: Starring Joan Collins and Peter Cushing, Tales from the Crypt is very loosely based on the comic strip of the same name. In this adaptation, we are treated to the tales of a group of people, who wander off on a guided tour of a vault or crypt and wind up confronted by an ageing monk and his visions of their futures.
Ranging from a cheap version of the Monkey's Paw story to a disturbing tale of house invasion my a maniacal Santa Claus, this film does little for the overall genre of horror story telling, but has a few nice turns.
If you are of a playful mood, feel free to type the film title into an image search. You will find a screen shot of a decidedly dastardly/beastly Santa and Miss Collins.
Budget: $?
Gross: $?
Fun Fact: The Crypt Keeper- Ralph Richardson was also the Supreme Being in Time Bandits.
