Tales from the Crypt was responsible for many sleepless nights during my childhood, so it’s nice to know that my children will get to experience the horror.
Famed horror director M. Night Shyamalan will take a crack at bringing the Crypt Keeper back to television sets.
“To be part of such a beloved brand like Tales From the Crypt, something I grew up watching, and to also have the chance to push the boundaries of genre television as a whole, is an inspiring opportunity that I can’t wait to dive into,” Shyamalan says.
M. Night has a few classic films but he’s let down viewers several times, let’s all act like The Last Airbender never happened. The executives at TNT have faith in him to live up to the original series.
“It’s not a show, it’s an umbrella for what will hopefully be many shows. We’re going to put a variety of different genre shows…all united under the Tales from the Crypt brand. Night is definitely going to direct the first one and we’ll see how that evolves. And we’re definitely going to utilize the underlying comics,” said TNT chief Kevin Reilly.
Lets hope that M. Night doesn’t tank.
