Production & Broadcast History
When and how the series aired across its seven-season run.
Tales From The Crypt premiered on HBO in 1989 and ran through 1996 across seven seasons and 93 episodes. Its premium-cable home was central to its identity, freeing it from the content restrictions of broadcast television. Later seasons increasingly filmed in the United Kingdom, and the seventh and final season was produced and set largely in England. After the series ended, the brand continued through feature films, animated spin-offs, and a long tail of home-video and collectible releases.
