Customer Reviews Great unique song in Crypt Jam Loved all the tracks here as I am a BIG fan of Tales From The Crypt. Great product however, Chuckii Booker is not mentioned at all here and he is responsible for the single & lead off video "Crypt Jam" as well as doing ALL the instrumentation and production here with John Kassir doing the Crypt Keeper's vocals. only the ghouliest of ghouls need to pick this up immediately!. GREAT SOUNDTRACK!.....MISSING ONE TRACK...... I've been a fan of Tales From The Crypt for years, Have all the DVDS, and had to have the soundtrack-of course. But the score from 'And All Through the House' is missing. That was my favorite-all time score from Tales from the Crypt. I wish they had put it on the soundtrack too:(. Welcome, kiddies! Would you like to dance to death? Therefore I can gleefully day that the "Tales from the Crypt" album provides a suspenseful, orchestral variety of scores that never get old. I am an avid fan of the HBO series. Although I have watched all of the episodes written on the track list, I don't need to look inside the cover sleeve to enjoy the 13 tunes. In fact, since the music completely stands on its own, I am able to imagine a variety of fantastic settings in my mind. Danny Elfman's macabre theme song makes me envision a tour through series' cobwebbed mansion, descend the house's spiraling staircase, and seach for the very same coffin where the Crypt-Keeper rests. "Cutting Cards," with its plucked violin and cello strings, makes me picture someone in a tense meeting with a 1920's gangster (someone like Al Capone). "Loved to Death" can best be described as a soap opera romance heightened by champagne and a dangerous affair (as indicated by the track's saxophone). "Dead Wait's" primal drums and rattles set a mysterious aura in the wild, sweltering jungles of South Africa. "The Ventriloquist's Dummy" seems to be set in an abandoned carnival, where dolls and toy soldiers come to life and turn into malevolent monsters. "The Man Who Was Death," with its vibrating rockabilly guitar and piano, is the perfect score for a Wild West saloon. "The Reluctant Vampire's" sparkling harpsicord makes me imagine 18th century France, where aristocratic bloodsuckers enjoy many nights of luxury and decadence. Finally, "Deadline's" smooth jazz reminds me of a 1940's film noir, one in which a crime is being solved by a gumshoe detective. Last but not least, kiddies, television's Host with the Most, the Crypt Keeper (John Kassir) closes the album with "The Crypt Jam," a unique, hip-hop party track guaranteed to make EVERY DAY Halloween. Accompanied by dancing ghouls and skeletons, the Keeper cackles a rap that invites everyone to an unforgettable monster bash. What I can say in the end is that "Tales from the Crypt" is worth hearing all the way through. It will make you want to Trick or Treat all year long!. .
