"Shudder's acquisition of Tales from the Crypt marks a significant milestone, as the series has been a streaming Holy Grail since its conclusion in 1996. The complexities surrounding the rights to the original EC Comics stories had previously hindered any revival efforts."
"The deal to secure streaming rights to all seven seasons of Tales from the Crypt is a testament to the dedication of Sam Zimmerman, who worked tirelessly to untangle the complicated rights structure before moving on to a new role."
Tales from the Crypt, a popular HBO horror anthology series, has been unavailable for streaming since its final episode in 1996. Despite attempts to revive the series, including a failed 2016 project by M. Night Shyamalan, the rights issues surrounding the original EC Comics stories complicated matters. Recently, Shudder announced it has acquired exclusive streaming rights to all seven seasons, a significant achievement attributed to former SVP of acquisitions, Sam Zimmerman, who finalized the deal before leaving for Blumhouse-Atomic Monster.
