Tales from the Crypt

Dusty crypt. Eternity. A dripping tap. Five tourists lose their way below ground, encountering a hooded gatekeeper. He hints at their dark futures. Each traveler hears a story: deadly insurance scams, voodoo revenge, and a Santa Claus killer. Are these portents true? Amicus anthology provides nasty pre-code thrills.
