Tales from the Crypt Trapped in catacombs that smelled of ancient death, five forsaken men and women poured out the foul secrets of their fetid souls to a strange, sinister, black-robed monk. Maitland... forever doomed to a living, waking nightmare. Joanne... who wanted one thing from Santa Claus - murder. Elliot... this heartless young man received visitors from beyond the grave. Rogers... he treated the blind and helpless like dogs; they turned the tables with razor sharp vengeance. Jason... returned and returned and returned from the dead. Five tormented people. Five terrible confessions. One long scream of terror at the end. Tales from the Crypt.
