The 1972 film from Amicus Productions features five stories from various EC comics. "Reflection of Death" (#23) and "Blind Alleys" (#46) were adapted for the film, the others were adapted from "The Haunt of Fear" and "The Vault of Horror". A second Amicus film, "The Vault of Horror", also used stories from "Tales from the Crypt" and "Shock SuspenStories" (despite its title, it did not use any stories published in the "Vault of Horror" comic). An homage film entitled "Creepshow" followed, paying tribute to the tone, look, and feel of "Tales from the Crypt" and other EC comics, without directly adapting any of the stories.
