I like this book because it's scary and fun. I haven't been listening to the television shows, but this does not hinder my enjoyment of this book. I like all the stories such as Tight Grip, and Island Of Death. The story of Tight Grip is somewhat an emotional story, but the rest of the stories are very cool. I like all of them. They are cool to listen to. I highly recommend this to future fans of this series.

This is a collection of Seeing Ear Theater's "Tales from the Crypt" episodes. For those who don't know, SET is a series of internet audio files that are like the stories on the radio from years past. There are several different types of stories in the SET stable, but my favorites have always been the TFTC stories, since I grew up with the TV show (as a freaked-out preadolescent watching the shows in syndication), and it was great to see (or hear, I guess) something new. For those who, like me, were big fans of these episodes (which were put on "hiatus" a couple years ago) when they were only available online and spent hours and hours listening to them multiple times, you'll definetely enjoy this opportunity to hear them without waiting for them to load (and without having constant buffering interruptions). For those who were fans, be aware that you are only getting 7 out of the 8 produced episodes ("This Trick'll Kill Ya" is the missing segment, but since I always thought this was the weakest of the 8, if one has to be missing, I'm fine with the fact that it's this one). For those who don't know anything about this, each episode is a horror/humor story in the vein of the TV show (or the comics). Like the TV show, celebrities star in most of the episodes (standout performances include Oliver Platt, John Ritter, Keith David, and Tim Curry). Also like the TV show, the Cryptkeeper (voiced, as always, by the great John Kassir)bookends each episode. Each episode runs between 35 and 45 minutes. You can tell that everyone involved treated this as a labor of love. These tales are worthy successors to the great TV show and Original EC Comics. .... Thanks to everyone involved from a long time "Tales" fan. Oh yeah, and to whoever is in charge of the TV episodes, a season-by-season DVD release would be fantastic.
