The title is based on the 1950s series and most of the content originated in that comic or the other EC Comics of the time (,,,, and ). The show was produced by HBO. Because it was aired on HBO, a premium cable television channel, it was one of the few anthology series to be allowed to have full freedom from censorship by network. As a result, HBO allowed the series to contain content that had not appeared in most television series up to that time, such as,, and.
The show is subsequently edited for such content when broadcast in or on basic cable. While the series began production in the United States, in the final season filming moved to Britain, resulting in episodes which revolved around British characters.
Main article: Each episode begins with a tracking shot leading to the front door of the Crypt Keeper's decrepit mansion. Once inside, the camera pans down hallways and stairways, and finally descends into the basement.
The show's host, the Crypt Keeper, then pops out from his coffin, cackling wildly; finally, green slime pours down over the screen as the main title appears. The Crypt Keeper is an animated corpse, as opposed to the original comics in which he was a living human being. The wisecracking Crypt Keeper (performed by like, Mike Elizalde, Frank Charles Lutkiss,, Anton Rupprecht, Shaun Smith, David Stinnent, Mike Trcic, and, and voiced by ) would then introduce the episode with intentionally hackneyed puns (e.g. His frequent greeting to viewers: 'Hello, Boils and Ghouls' or 'Hello, Kiddies').

Each episode was self contained, and was bookended by an outro sequence again involving the Crypt Keeper. Comic book cover art was created by and. The episode 'You, Murderer' (1995) is particularly noteworthy since it was one of the first shows ever filmed that used computer effects to digitally insert actors into an episode. The episode was directed by series producer, who had recently directed which used the same effects (both sets of effects being done by ). Appeared in a cameo at the beginning of the episode, and played the starring role for this story. Because both men had been dead for decades, their appearances made the episode very well known amongst fans.
This episode was also notable for 's guest appearance in which she parodies her lookalike mother,, for the first (and only) time. Very few of the episodes, especially in the early seasons, were based on actual stories from Tales from the Crypt. Many were instead from other series. For instance, season one was predominantly from, while season two was mostly from. Tales from appeared sporadically throughout the series run.
The final episode broadcast, 'The Third Pig', was the only original story not based on the comics, and the only one that was fully animated. Notable guest stars and directors [ ] Individual episodes from the series often involved big-name stars, either as writers, directors, or actors. In this way, many A-list Hollywood stars were appearing on both the big screen and the small screen at the same time.
A list of actors/guest stars includes the likes of,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and among others. A list of famous directors includes,, and (who also had cameos in their episodes). Many well-established film directors also contributed episodes. They include,,,,,,,,,,,,, and, who directed the original. Spin-offs [ ] The success of the series led to numerous spin-offs and films. Films [ ] Originally the Crypt theatrical films were planned as a trilogy.
'They felt that in order to make this thing work, we had to do it essentially like the series, which began with three half hour episodes, so we decided to do three movies,' told magazine in 1995. Ultimately three films were made, but the trilogy didn't pan out as originally intended. Two movies, (1995) and (1996) were released in theaters. A third movie, was initially slated for theatrical release in 2001, but was instead distributed internationally without the Tales from the Crypt connection.
In 2006, it was released on DVD in the United States with all previous Crypt references restored. As a follow-up to Demon Knight, producers planned to make a film titled Dead Easy (aka Fat Tuesday), a New Orleans zombie romp.
'We were rewriting it, and it was getting scarier and more intense, but a lot of the humor had been lost, and we always felt that was an important part of Tales from the Crypt -- scare people, then let them laugh.' Gilbert Adler told Fangoria in 1996. The third film that was planned, Body Count, also never found its way to the screen. It's also worth noting that the film was originally intended to be a Tales From the Crypt movie helmed by another director, but it was produced and released on its own merit after executive producer read the script. Tales from the Cryptkeeper [ ].
Main article: In 1993, a Saturday morning cartoon called was spun off from the HBO series. Produced by for, the violence of the prime-time series was substantially toned down and the gore was omitted. Nelvana employed a child psychologist to review the scripts to ensure the episodes would be suitable for young viewers. The Cryptkeeper puppet was considered as the host for the series but it was ultimately decided that it might frighten youngsters, so instead an animated version was created (which bore more of a resemblance to the puppet than the version of The Cryptkeeper that originated in 1950s ) and was retained as his voice. 'Nelvana created a kinder, gentler personality for the children's Crypt Keeper, and it feels a little uncharacteristic at times,' Kassir later said. In addition to the Cryptkeeper, EC Comics' mascots The Vaultkeeper and The Old Witch also made frequent appearances, often fighting with the Cryptkeeper for control of the show's hosting duties. The series lasted two seasons on ABC with a total of 26 episodes.
In 1999, the show was revived on for an additional 13 episodes under the title New Tales from the Cryptkeeper. Due to the that demanded more educational value in cartoons, the final batch of episodes was radically dumbed-down and included much more streamlined morality lessons. Although it was once again produced by Nelvana and the opening credits sequence featured clips from the ABC series, the style of the animation underwent a substantial change, with characters appearing much more rounded and cartoon-like. The Vaultkeeper and The Old Witch were omitted, and the Cryptkeeper generally appeared in disguise interacting with characters throughout each episode. Secrets of the Cryptkeeper's Haunted House [ ]. Main article: In 2000, several 'radio shows' were recorded for Seeing Ear Theatre, an online subsidiary of, and were offered free as streaming files on their website, as well as for sale on.
Although 13 episodes were planned (with forthcoming episodes listed as 'TBA'), only 8 stories were recorded. Seven of the eight shows were released on in 2002 by ('This Trick'll Kill You' was omitted from the CD set ). Two-Fisted Tales [ ] In 1991, the Fox television network aired a pilot for Two-Fisted Tales, a spin-off based on the 1950s EC action comics. When Fox passed on the pilot, Crypt Keeper segments were tacked onto the three stories ('Yellow', 'Showdown', and 'King of the Road'), and HBO ran them as Tales from the Crypt episodes. Perversions of Science [ ]. Main article: After the original series ended, a spin-off called premiered in 1997 on HBO, this time being based on science fiction instead of horror. The series only lasted for a short run, and was cancelled the same year.
This iteration of the franchise featured a stylized female robot host in place of the Cryptkeeper. Albums [ ] Soundtrack [ ] In 1991, Big Screen Records released a soundtrack album featuring assorted music from the series. The album includes the theme music, suites from 11 episodes and an original song titled 'Crypt Jam' performed by The Cryptkeeper ().
A music video for 'Crypt Jam' was filmed and is available as an extra on the Season 3 DVD. • Willman, Chris (June 10, 1989)... Retrieved 2010-12-12. • Barnes, Mike (2010-09-28)...

I have a form with 2 combo boxes. The items I want displayed in the second is dependent on what is chosen in the first. If the user then chooses a different item in combobox 1 I want the items in combobox2 to change.
I have populated the data using combobox2.items.add('abc') combobox2.items.add('def') When the item in combobox1 changes, I have tried to come into the combobox_load sub first saying Combobox2.items.clear() then adding the new like this combobox2.items.add('ghi') combobox2.items.add('jkl') What I get is fine the first choice. The second time I get all four, the next time six etc. It will not clear the items. I am amazed that this simple process could have caused this much of a problem. I have also used combobox2.Items.RemoveAt(0) to no avail. Both methods clear the combobox until it is repopulated with new items at which times it adds them to the old ones. Pat McLaughlin.
Here is the reason: I first set the ComboBox style to 'DropDownList' which limits the ComboBox values to the values in the dropdown list. Without it the user would be able to enter arbitrary values in the forst ComboBox leaving the second ComboBox empty. This led to setting the SelectedIndex to 0 (the first value in the list) because if I remember correctly without it the SelectedIndex propery is undefined. This way both ComboBoxes are within the range of given values and in a defined state. If this is not a requirement (ie. The user can enter arbitrary values in the first ComboBox) your argument is perfectly valid, it all depends on the logic the OP is trying to implement.
Uros Calakovic. But that is not how a combobox works. Look at teh example I posted in my link. I works exactly as required and does not require any of teh code you posted.
It loads on the form load and switches the content as each item is selected. That was the requirememt. ALl ohter behaviors can be adjusted by settig the properties of the combobox. The default properties work correctly for the request.
The same can be done for a listbox. If we want a drop down combo htat stays clsed we can just alter the property. The need to play with teh selectwed items may be a requirement somewhere but it wasn't here and ususally isn't in this situation.
If we use databbound parent-child boxes that the selected index is not settable without clearing or changing the child. Setting it causes that changed event ot fire. As I pointed out before. I believe the only issue the OP had was that whe was trying to use a non-existent combobox load event. The real compaint was that the list could not be cleared. So Uros - I am not saying you are completely wrong.
I am just pointing out that your method is an answer to another question. You answer also removes teh keyboard and makes the first combobox match on the first character only For point and shoot we would usually do it as I have in the demo because it has a full keyboard. Her eis a second demo I did just for you to show how to get the keyboard behvir and dsiaply that you have without rewrtiing a line of active code from teh firrst demo. I changed just one property.
Not how the combobox behaves and how it dispalys the list. If I hit a character that matches one or more items they are displayed. I can keep typing until only one is showin and hit enter. Thisiis normal CUA behavior. Remember CUA.
It is the behavior that allows us to type without having to use a mouse. Thisis what is required for highspeed data entry. Windows Controls are all full CUA compliant out of the box. I changed only teh dropdown style to make this work this way.
I did change the way I initially loaded teh Combo so it would dsiplay and use the objects insted of teh strings. Note that the combos list is a collection of folderinfo objects. Now I can disaply as much as I need and still have allo f the reaminng info in the selecteditem. Thisis not a required method but is a very useful capabilty of teh Net Framework version of Windows Controls. They are all 'object smart'.
Just copy and paster teh contents of te link into PowerShell. PowerShell Stufio and PrimalFormsCE are excellent for building forms like this very quickly. The original with all of its setup was done in less that 2 minutes.
