 Pretty crummy October 4, 2007
Tales from the Crypt seasons 1-5 were amazing. As everybody else said, it's starting to go downhill starting with Season 6, which wasn't very good at all. I'm not sure if I'll even bother buying Season 7, though honestly I probably will just for completeness.
Anyway, just thought I'd post this 3-star review to help offset those 5-star posters who apparently posted before actually watching the episodes!
Not as good as the other seasons... September 16, 2007
this season was okay, but not as good as the other one. the episodes were kind of dull. the season finale was pretty enjoyable though.

Good but not the best September 9, 2007
As a collector of horror films and memorabilia this was a must have however, as most have stated quite clearly here, it's not the best set of TFTC discs to get if you are just getting introduced to the series or simply getting back into it. The writing is definitely not as strong as the first few seasons and the producers delved more directly into EC Comics less horror themed stories as inspiration (not necessarily a bad choice but HBO's TFTC established itself mainly as a straight horror show and I feel it should have stayed the course).
As far as the disc set itself goes it's bare bones: There is one special feature! For about $30 ($10/disc) this set should have much more to it than is offered. This feels as if the producers were just trying to get a fast buck off of early purchases who feel obliged to buy the set even if they don't really think it's worth the cost. What I'd like to see would be some type of collector's cards or some other "reward" for early purchasers (especially if no real special features are included).
I'd recommend going for one of the first few seasons and waiting for this set to lower in price (although, like the housing market, this may not happen).
Loosing the edge September 3, 2007
The DVD quality is as always excellent.
There are some excellent episodes in series 6 but as a whole in this series they seem to have missed the mixture of horror and humour which made tales from the crypt unique (its only real comparison could be with its predecessor - the Addams Family). Maybe this change occured in the original comic version which towards the end was suffering legal battles from people who found this humour/horror mixture offensive - and there by eventually destroyed this wonderful series.
