Scream Factory Bringing Tales from the Crypt and Vault of Horror to Double Feature Blu-ray
Made in the early 1970s and widely considered to be two of the best horror anthologies of all time, both Tales from the Crypt and Vault of Horror are next up on Scream Factory’s slate, being given the double feature Blu-ray treatment just in time for the holidays. Read on for details!
The release, scheduled for December 2, 2014, marks the first time either film has hit Blu-ray. Featuring the rare, uncut version of Vault of Horror, the two-disc set is packed with three different cuts of the cult classic.
The first disc will include Tales from the Crypt and Vault of Horror’s uncut widescreen presentation, while the second disc will include Vault of Horror’s theatrical PG cut and a rare open-matte version of the BFI master.
The release also includes an original trailer and an alternate opening scene for Vault of Horror.
In Tales from the Crypt, five unwary travelers with dark hearts stumble into a series of catacombs and find themselves in a cavern with no way out. But the horror’s only just begun as a mysterious figure appears to reveal to each person the shocking events that will lead to their well-deserved, untimely – and unavoidable – demise.
Starring Joan Collins (Empire of the Ants), Peter Cushing (Horror of Dracula), Patrick Magee (A Clockwork Orange), and Sir Ralph Richardson (Rollerball) and directed by Freddie Francis (The Creeping Flesh), Tales from the Crypt is the original gets-right-under-your-skin creepfest!
And in Vault of Horror, available uncut for the first time on home video, five unsuspecting hotel guests step into an elevator that leads them into an underground vault. Trapped with no way out, each guest shares a gruesome tale of an encounter with death. But as the stories unfold, the men begin to suspect that their presence in the vault is no coincidence and that the only way out is death.
Starring Tom Baker (“Doctor Who”), Denholm Elliott (Raiders of the Lost Ark), Curt Jurgens (The Mephisto Waltz), and Michael Craig (Mysterious Island), this ferociously entertaining film is a worthy sequel to Tales from the Crypt!
