M. Night Shyamalan’s Tales from the Crypt reboot will adapt EC Comics stories

November 20, 2016 by Gary Collinson

As development continues on TNT’s reboot of Tales from the Crypt, executive producer M. Night Shyamalan has been chatting to Crave Online about his plans for the anthology horror, revealing that he intends on adapting some of the original EC Comics stories for the new series, as well as curating original tales.

“There’s a bunch [I’d like to do],” said Shyamalan. “I have a folder of my favorites, like my twenty or thirty favorites. I’m trying to remember them. I mean they’re so weird. There’s one where there’s a bewitching one, where an old lady bewitches and takes the wife, and the husband has to figure it out. He keeps the old lady in the closet but that’s really his wife now. They’ve swapped, you know? And he can’t kill this woman but she’s now a beautiful woman.”

Tales from the Crypt was published by EC Comics between 1950 and 1955, along with sister titles The Haunt of Fear and The Vault of Horror, although the publisher cancelled the titles due to the restrictions imposed on the industry following the introduction of the Comics Code.

Tales from the Crypt has a straight-to-series order from TNT, which is expected to air some time in 2017.
