Re-Shocked! It's Two Gruesomely Delightful Horror Anthologies on Blu-Ray
Egad! It's a Blu-Ray double feature of scares for the Halloween Season:
TALES FROM THE CRYPT (1972)/VAULT OF HORROR (1973) - Blu-Ray
TALES FROM THE CRYPT (1972) Five tales of terror from the Crypt Keeper (portrayed by Sir Ralph Richardson!). A classic anthology of horror stories from 1972. A great re-telling of the "Monkey's Paw," a super Peter Cushing segment where he comes back as a rotting zombie and a terrifying Christmas horror story starring Joan Collins! In the Christmas tale, it's Christmas Eve and a quiet night with snow falling. Joan Collins has just murdered her husband and then hears on the radio of a homicidal escapee from an asylum...who likes to dress up as Santa Claus. Who's outside...dressed in red?!
THE VAULT OF HORROR (1973)The follow-up to Amicus Production's TALES FROM THE CRYPT. It features five tales of horror that are the futures of five trapped people. They find themselves in the basement vault with no way out and the stories begin. Amicus made many successful anthology films from DR. TERROR'S HOUSE OF HORRORS in 1965 to THE MONSTER CLUB in 1980.
This double feature is back in shock stock in our Blu-Ray Department at Creepy Classics.

Rondo Remembers! Trick-Or-Treat Costumes From Glorious Halloweens Past
Autumn is here!
Autumn means that it won't be long before Halloween is here. I think almost all of us have those fleeting, but solid memories that Halloween brings.
I had many of those silk, tie-behind Halloween costumes with the hard plastic masks (rubber band attached) that came in the boxes with a clear window that showed the face. Between ages three and seven I seem to recall having a pirate one, one of The Incredible Hulk, a skeleton and....my favorite, a vivid green Frankenstein Monster.
These costumes were the ones that when on (with a bulky coat or sweater underneath) would cause your face to sweat behind that plastic mask. The sound of your breathing amplified because it was most contained behind that plastic. That sweat turn cold and clammy. I could take it...it was Trick-Or-Treat time!
Marching through the dark streets, crunching on curled leaves that were losing their color. An aroma of apples in the air as trees dropped over-ripe fruit around the neighborhoods. Back at home, designed glass bowls held candy corn, candy pumpkins, little candy witches, skulls and corn cobs.
Walking those home town streets with a plastic pumpkin that was quickly filling with candy bars (oh, man...nothing better than getting a full size candy bar every once in a while from a house!). The excitement of ringing a doorbell...not knowing whether there would be a scare, or a kindly face happy to drop goodies into your bucket.
Coming home, after a long night's trudging as a creature of the night), I would dump my "loot" onto my bed. Start lining up and sorting the candies, popcorn balls, occasional apple. Then, maybe some trading would be involved with my sister or swapping with other neighborhood buddies.
It was all so worth it, so magic. I'm so lucky to live in a small town now, where kids and parents aren't afraid of the old traditions. The little ghosts, goblins and princesses still pour into the streets for Trick-Or-Treat. It's heartwarming for an old softie Monster Kid like me. It's Halloween...it's America.
Looking forward to this year's Halloween,
Ron Adams, Ligonier, PA
