In this year’s final “Shocktober” episode of the AIPT Movies podcast, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss one of the better examples of a TV show-turned-movie, the bloody and surprisingly fun, Tales From The Crypt: Demon Knight!
Single-location horror! Impressive practical FX and gore! Countless quotable lines! Fun bookends from the Crypt Keeper himself! A loveable cast that includes Dick Miller, William Sadler, CCH Pounder, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and Billy Zane in his greatest role! Unnecessary sexiness! A wonderful-yet-failed cinematic experiment not unlike Tarantino and Rodriguez’s Grindhouse! Comic booky demon lore and mischievous ghouls that would pair well with the Evil Dead series! Possibly accidental Aliens and Terminator vibes! A delicious mix of horror, camp sensibility, and action tropes, this movie has it all! Did we mention how good Billy Zane is?
In addition, the gang give spoiler-free thoughts on several Halloween-season viewing options, such as: An American Werewolf in London, The Howling, Samuel Bodin’s Cobweb, Critters, Frankenhooker, The Frighteners, Trick ‘r Treat, 1980’s Prom Night, 2015’s We Are Still Here, The Collector, The Collection, and Saw X!
