I never understood the craze about Dynasty's "Alexis." But now I have to admit Joan Collins was quite the stunner in her younger days. 💟

Awesome Creature Features show with Vincent, Tangella and Livingston with guest Kathy Coleman. I enjoyed watching Tales from the Crypt (1972).

"Tales from the Crypt"(1972) is an excellent horror anthology movie!All the stories of the movie was creepy and very inspiring, but I think that the best story of the movie was the last one!

Yay! I was going to mention this one during the Vault of Horror. As a kid, the HBO show was my intro into EC. I loved the comic re-prints and had this movie on VHS. I never knew there was a British Vault of Horror until you folks played it. No Haunt of Fear movie, but I guess somebody started a show in 2019...

I saw this, about a million years ago, with my Grandfather and Grandmother. I begged them to see it and they took me to a drive-in to watch it. Good times.

Joan Collins is absolutely ravishing in this and is still going strong at 90 .

I really like the breaks with the Creature Feature folks, and sometimes don't really watch the movie save for watching their breaks. Thank you, thank you! This movie is a trip though.

Vincent, you are great at interviewing people. You want to hear from them more than hear from yourself. kudos

Tales From The Crypt is a great classic horror film.

This is the film that features Joan Collins in the killer Santa Claus segment that was later remade as the pilot for the HBO Tales From the Crypt series.
