Trivia: Tales from the Crypt
  • Edited for Syndication: You better believe it. FOX used to run repeats in their prime-time line-up during the mid-90s, and the series later turned up in syndication, on the Sci Fi Channel and on AMC. Gore, sexual situations and language were edited down to whatever the censors would allow. Making room for commercials was also a necessity.
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Due to the show's anthology structure and penchant for casting well-known actors as guest stars, this happens at least twice an episode.
  • Hey, It's That Voice!: The Crypt Keeper was voiced by John Kassir. In "The Third Pig", animation fans would probably recognize Cam Clarke as Dudley, Charlie Adler as Smokey, Brad Garrett as Drinky, Jim Cummings as the Judge and Bobcat Goldthwait as the Wolf.
    • Clarke also did vocal work in "People Who Live In Brass Hearses" and "The Assassin."
  • Promoted Fanboy: John Kassir read and collected the comics when he was a kid.
  • Real-Life Relative: "Lower Berth" guest stars Jeff Yagher, who is the older brother of Kevin Yagher (who not only directed said episode, but was a key person behind the Crypt Keeper effects).
  • What Could Have Been: A third movie was originally going to be another story titled Fat Tuesday.
    • Peter Jackson had his own pitch for a movie entry: The Frighteners. Producers deemed it as being strong enough to be released as a completely stand-alone movie.
