10/23/14 – day twenty-three of 31 days of horror!

Released under the “Tales From the Crypt” banner, this film was completely off my radar until I worked at CineFile Video in Los Angeles and had the pleasure of meeting its director, the great Ernest R. Dickerson. Discovering this film for myself, I was really taken with its fun, simple premise, visual inventiveness and strong ensemble cast which includes William Sadler, Thomas Hayden Church and a wickedly over-the-top Billy Zane. If you like your horror fast, funny and chocked full of practical effects, you’d be remiss not to unearth or revisit today’s pick, “Tales From the Crypt: Demon Knight”!
