Page 1 of Tales from the Crypt DVDs... anyone else buying these?

Quite frankly, I`m getting p***ed off with them. Season 1 & 2 were superb, presented in nice embossed boxes which fold out into a nice collection (like the Aliens DVD set). Menus were done with new Crypt Keeper sequences too (even though the newer puppet looked a little s***ty).

Having since finished Season 3, and now going through Season 4, I have to say I`m really p***ed off with the way they are being presented. Season 3 dropped the embossed boxes and the DVD`s just came in slimline cases. Season 4 continues the trend, but has now dropped the nice Crypt Keeper menus that had since been consistent. Its only a small thing but it really winds me up.

Anyone else got them and thinking the same, or am I just being anal?

Completely agree!

The initial packaging on Season 1 and 2 was great with the raised 3D look in digipacks. Now we have slipcases which do still look good but not nearly as nice as the early seasons and further they are different heights when on my shelves. The episodes though are so bad their good and I love watching them. Is interesting to note the stars in some of these and where they have gone onto since.

I have season 1 and 2, and yet to get season 3 and 4, it`s a shame they haven`t been consistant with the packaging, as I really love what they did with the first two.

I did too floyd, so was gutted when I got 3 and 4.

Personally I think the best season so far was the first; especially the Psychotic Santa. :D

Guess what`s coming out on the 31st of October????

I know, covered this last week in the Latest News section. ;)

See here.

Nice cover isn`t it?

Sure does shame they won`t stick to the original packaging.

I love the EC type anthology episodes, I tell you what deserves to be given a super special edition makeover and that`s Creepshow, I love that movie, and I can`t understand why Warner hasn`t done this, I already have the Divimax edition of Creepshow 2 which was released through Anchor Bay, but the original deserves better than the crappy release that`s out now.

Also CBS are to release the super ultimate Twilight Zone box set.



It`s a bummer that Spielberg won`t let Warner release the movie version.
