Inspired by the 1950s EC Comics, each episode of Tales from the Crypt<\/i> is a self-contained story hosted by the Crypt Keeper (Kassir), a wisecracking corpse known for his macabre puns. With its signature unrestricted gore, profanity, and dark irony, the show’s episode styles range from comedy to drama and deliver twisted moral lessons where "bad people" meet poetically horrific ends – and issues like greed, lust, and moral decay lead to tragic consequences. The series features a long list of Hollywood A-list guest stars including Brad Pitt, Demi Moore, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Michael J. Fox, John Lithgow, Christopher Reeve, Catherine O’Hara, Steve Buscemi, Brooke Shields<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b> and many more. Several episodes have been directed by well-known talent including Rober Zemeckis, Tobe Hooper<\/b> and William Friedkin<\/b>, as well as acclaimed actors such as Tom Hanks, Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/b> and Michael J. Fox<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
