Atmospheric and chilling little tale(s) of terror.
This film came from the Midnite Movie Double Feature Collection, and I believe this is where Tales from the Crypt got its start. Five people are on tour of a catacomb when they become lost and sealed in a chamber, each one has a story that unfolds in front of them or is it behind them. Great Drive -Inn Swill. 3 1/2
