I enjoy the format Crypt has: start with the tour through the old house, have Crypt Keeper pop out of his little coffin and make some jokes from a life-like puppet (the puppet in this movie was aweful; I felt like I was watching a ventriliquist dummy), do the movie, and then have MR.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Tales from the Crypt
(Crypt assumed its final and best-known title, Tales from the Crypt, six months later.) For good measure, they dropped Gunfighter in favor of The Haunt of Fear, and introduced The Old Witch as its narrator.
The final issue of The Haunt of Fear to reach the stands was #28 (Nov-Dec 1954); the final Vault of Horror was #40 (Dec-Jan 1954-55); and the final Tales from the Crypt was #46 (Feb-Mar 1955).
Even today, newspaper stories, essays and the like are sometimes titled "Tales from the Crypt" — as was a very short-lived and very unrelated magazine-format comic book that came out in 1968.

 Ushering You Into... Tales from the Crypt
That isn't too evident from the first year or so of Tales from the Crypt since some of the company's earliest artists, like "Ghastly" Graham Ingels and Johnny Craig, were still developing and had yet to reach their peaks.
Most were O'Henry-like surprise-ending tales of crime and supernatural retribution, using a formula Gaines once described as "You sharpen the pencil, the pencil sharpens you." Although the Crypt's stories certainly were gory, with tales of dismemberment, cannibalism, and the ever-popular revenge-from-the-grave, most were written in a relatively sophisticated style laced with ironic humor.
Tales from the Crypt may have disappeared from the newsstands, but it still remains a sought after and high-priced collector's item.

 'Tales from the Crypt: Ritual' - Zap2it
A time, perhaps, when HBO was just an expensive movie channel rather than the most respected producer of TV drama on the block; a world where a puppet could drop terrible puns, and even more unpleasant sexual innuendoes, with abandon.
It's five years old, having been produced in 2001 as the final nail in the "Crypt" movie coffin, after the middling performances of the first two features, 1995's "Demon Knight" and 1996's "Bordello of Blood," demonstrated that the franchise's TV following didn't translate into box-office clout.
But Tourneur's film was all low-key suggestion and atmospheric dread, and that won't do for a "Tales from the Crypt" movie, so the screenplay by Rob Cohen and director Avi Nesher leans just as heavily on the shocks-and-sex mixture of Wes Craven's "The Serpent and the Rainbow."
