Date to be announced
14From Comic Books to Television
25 minOct 31, 2004
The 50-minute documentary focuses on the history of EC, the publisher of Tales from the Crypt. It is engaging, informative and definitely entertaining, thanks to a nice mix of talking heads and animated recreations of the publisher's comics. If you enjoy the series, the story behind it is potentially even more fascinating, if only because it really happened. As the documentary leads into the creation of the HBO series, it is the perfect in-context extra for this set.
15Cryptkeeper's History of Season One
Date to be announced
A short (5:30) featurette provides an overview of how the series came together and a bit about each episode. Hosted by the Cryptkeeper, this is "his" version of the story, and thus, he was the motivating factor for everything. Again, this is done purely in his punny style, and thus should appeal to fans of his. Oddly, the description of the episodes in terms of their order differs from the order on this DVD and the generally accepted order.
16Season II Shockumentary

Interviews with Joel Silver and the Cryptkeeper's voice, John Kassir, among several others, help present an interesting, though brief retrospective of the show.
