When an American couple rents a home in London, Esther (Lois Maxwell, the future Mrs. Moneypenny) swears she can hear a baby crying. Eventually, she tracks the crying down to an upstairs room. In that room, however, she finds not just a child but also a portal into the past.
Can you prove it didn’t happen?

For today’s Horror on the Lens, we have 1972’s Tales From The Crypt, a British anthology film which features The Crypt Keeper (Ralph Richardson) informing five strangers of how they will die. This classic, all-star film was based on stories that originally appeared in the Tales From The Crypt comic book.
In general, I’m not a huge fan of anthology films but Tales From The Crypt is an exception to that role. It’s an entertaining collection of macabre stories and the cast is to die for …. maybe literally!
This Amicus-produced movie is probably best remembered for the segment in which Joan Collins is menaced by an evil Santa but the whole thing is good.
