 Crypt has a Vault Rip Off October 12, 2007

5 out of 5 found this review helpful
When I buy a movie set, I want the films to be complete and uncut. This is the case with "Tales From The Crypt," but "The Vault of Horror" is not only cut, but the job of cutting is very bad. It really destroys the enjoyment of this film. If Fox had left the Vault DVD out of the set, I would have given them a good review, but with the cut "Vault" the deal is a rip off.
 Even if it's cut, it's good! October 12, 2007

Despite the upset over the fact that these films are presented with some cuts, I went ahead and bought them. I had seen them on TV as a kid and had fond but very, very vague memories. I am thrilled that I made the purchase. Even if cut, the films stand up. I am a fairly hardened horror fan, and many moments in these films filled me with genuine -- authorially intended -- dread. I instantly pondered the HBO tv series, also based on the EC comics but with a camp approach. I am a true fan of camp. As Isherwood said, camp is about making fun OUT OF something you take seriously. I don't find camp threatening in the way that many do. Still, I was struck by how powerful these stories were when depicted seriously. They (with a few exceptions) really worked on many levels. I think I may have looked away from the screen several times because the suspense was so high. I give it my highest praise. I wish the HBO series had been done like this. Look past the mid-budget effects and, if you can brook it, look past the cuts. Because what remains works like gangbusters.

I sent an email to FOX after discovering the edited version of Vault of Horror. This was their response...
Hello,
Vault of Horror (1973) was originally released as an R-Rated film but was later re-cut to get a PG rating. This re-cut version is the only version owned by 20th Century Fox. When developing the DVD, we did research information about an uncut print which was released theatrically but after several attempts, we were unsuccessful in securing a copy of that print. To satisfy the consumer demand for the title on DVD, we decided to move forward with the widescreen PG version we had in the vaults and included it with Tales from the Crypt (1972) as part of the Midnite Movies Double Feature series.

Tales from the Cyrpt / Vault of Horror October 7, 2007

This double feature was the first theatrical horror movie my mother let me attend and as a junior high student, it scared me quite effectively! Viewing it now has definite nostalgic value for me, but a warning: it's dated, campy, and very uneven, with some great episodes and some real clunkers. If you enjoyed collections such as Creepshow (1982), Cat's Eye (1985), etc., you should check out these early 1970's British offerings...
