HOLD for 4k. it is being updated now on AMC+

edit: grab it now if you have yet to bask in the glory of the crypt keeper. I should not have watched this when I was a child but that theme song is amazing. The 4k info I had was actually the remaster they were adding seasons to AMC+ weekly.

Community Reviews

Tales From the Crypt is a long unavailable horror anthology that finally lands for purchase in SD, with the big draw being easy access to the full series and its unrated HBO-era content. The price works out cheaply per season, and the old-school presentation still carries nostalgic charm, with clean picture and audio on some screens. The main drawback is the resolution, which is widely described as true SD or 480p, sometimes with a 60 fps soap opera effect and long episode intros. It feels like a bargain for fans who can live with the format.

  • Viewers who enjoy nostalgic standard-definition TV, because the lower resolution preserves the old look and still plays clearly on a large screen.

  • Fans who want to own the series now, because it was unavailable for purchase for years and the current SD copy is still watchable with clean picture and audio.

  • People who are fine with a rougher presentation, because the show can still be enjoyable even when the SD image is only decent rather than sharp.

  • Collectors who want the uncensored episodes, because this release is described as including the unrated footage cut from broadcast versions.

    FireballJR

  • Viewers expecting a sharp HD presentation, because the release is standard definition at 480p and can look bad on modern widescreen TVs.

    Overclocker2BesserWildflowerGuru

  • Shoppers waiting for a future upgrade, because the current purchase may be followed by a higher-resolution version later.

    social_gamerSnakeyes77chadt3534

  • People who dislike long episode openings, because each intro runs about three minutes and can make the show feel annoying to watch.

    WildflowerGuruduckeggs

  • Fans sensitive to motion smoothing, because the 60 fps presentation can create a soap-opera effect that kills the cinematic vibe.

What do you mean? It's never streamed before, and it is finally on AMC+ (what a joke it never streamed on HBO Max), and it doesn't look that good. So they put it out now after all this time just to add better res later? Source?

This is a instant buy. If it's ever updated to hd, it should be a free upgrade for people who purchase it.

Is there a source for this? I'm extremely skeptical. Feel like they would already be streaming it in 4k since they have been streaming it there. For 2.85 a season I'll gamble on this, loved this show when I was younger.

AI is telling me a restoration is extremely unlikely, and no announcement to do so has been made. And the Shutter streaming is of DVD quality, I don't see anything on a quick search showing that there's a noticeable increase in video quality pointing to some type of mild HD restoration of any type.

Anyone, please correct me if I'm wrong here, but I don't see a risk in buying this SD set, at least from the standpoint of a beautiful video quality update coming out in the next 10 years.

Google says "Due to the lack of an official studio restoration, fans and archivists have taken preservation into their own hands. The 1080p and 4K AI-upscaled fan edits that circulate online offer a massive upgrade to the picture quality over the standard-definition DVD transfers"

Apple does list it as HD, but Google says "The classic 1989 HBO series Tales from the Crypt streams in standard definition (SD) at 480p resolution on Apple TV. Because it was originally shot on film and mastered for late-20th century television, the aspect ratio remains its traditional 4:3 (1.33:1), which will appear with pillarbox bars on the sides of modern widescreen TVs."

Is there a YouTube channel, or a link to actually get anything like that? That'd be amazing.
