Review – The Vault of Horror

This is a more-than-worthy follow-up to the 1972 version of Tales from the Crypt. True, there’s nothing quite as good as motorcycle-riding scary skeleton from the first one, but overall the technical and plot quality of this set is at least a little better. Two of the five vignettes depend at least in part on awful racist clichés about how “swarthy people” possess magical powers and thus should not be messed with. And one hinges on a level of sexism that’s downright laughable 30 years later. But if you can get past these dated drawbacks, there’s more than a little Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors-style amusement to be had. Mildly amusing
