Tales From the Crypt: Season 07

Previously filmed in Hollywood and Canada, Tales From the Crypt moved its facilities to the United Kingdom for its seventh and final season, allowing a rich new array of colorful backgrounds for the creepy yarns related to the audience by the cadaverous Cryptkeeper. British actress Natasha Richardson stars in the season opener "Fatal Caper," a prodigal son tale with a sinister twist. Other season highlights include "A Slight Case of Murder," with mystery writer Francesca Annis unwittingly plotting the "perfect murder" -- her own; "Cold War," featuring a young Ewan McGregor in the story of a very persistent vampire; and "About Face," starring Anthony Andrews as a philandering preacher who is perplexingly plagued by his past peccadillos. The series' final episode is also its first animated offering, "The Third Pig," a perverse twist on the Big Bad Wolf fable, written and directed by Bill Kopp of Eek the Cat fame. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
