Yesterday when news broke that TNT and M. Night Shyamalan were reviving the beloved anthology series Tales from the Crypt we were all excited. Unfortunately, today that excitement turned to disappointment. We learned via Bloody-Disgusting that the new series and the original will only have a name in common. The Crypt Keeper will not be appearing, which is strange considering that he is a huge part of the series. Instead, they are opting for a different host (because HBO still owns the rights to the Crypt Keeper). The new host will be an old man in a hooded robe, sitting by a fire. The lack of our favorite creepy host is not the only difference between the shows. The series will consist of thirteen episodes with a similar feel as American Horror Story. It will be set in New Orleans and will feature Voodoo. The first season will not feature any of the stories from the original comics. The writers

“When ambitious young real estate agent Leigh is asked to sell a house with a checkered past, she crosses paths with a disturbed girl whom she believes is the runaway daughter of the couple selling the property. When Leigh tries to intervene and help her, she becomes entangled with a supernatural force that soon pulls Leigh’s artist sister Vera into its own web – and has sinister plans for both of them.” _______________________________________ “At The Devil’s Door” is packed with young familiar faces from “Glee’s” Naya Rivera, to MTV’s “Awkard’s” Ashley Rickards, to “Falling Skies” star Catalina Sandino Moreno. The three girls play off of each other well creating the perfect formula for a modern day horror thriller. I did enjoy this film, although what started off as an extremely promising demonic horror flick, started to loose its sense of direction through the middle of the film. While the actors played off each other beautifully, I almost wonder if too
