As we delve deeper into the "Tales from the Crypt" catalog, I need to make an amendment to the above review. In the review I state that Mary Harron was the only female to direct a "Tales from the Crypt" episode, and that isn't entirely true. While there was a disproportionate ratio of male to female directors on the show, there were actually a few females to direct on the show, including Randa Haines, who directed a season two episode entitled, Judy, You're Not Yourself Today. I just wanted to put that out there.
Now, as we forge a-dead (yes, I will be using puns from time to time), we come to an tale called "Collection Completed" directed by the aforementioned Mary Harron. The story is fun, and reminds of something that might have been better suited for "Amazing Stories" but there is just enough gore and implication of terror to truly make the story creepy and memorable.
Check out the video companion above and prepare to enter "Tales from the Crypt." If you dare.......
