Plot: A group of people touring some catacombs find themselves lost until the run into the Crypt Keeper - who tells five tales: a murdering wife comes face-to-face with a homicidal Santa on Christmas Eve; a philandering husband runs off with a mistress only to face death - more than once; a snobbish man and his son drive a kindly neighbor to death only to face the consequences when he comes back; a wish-granting statue is a curse rather than blessing for a husband and wife; finally, a greedy director for a home for the blind finds the tables turned when his cost-cutting results in death. -- Chris Kavan

Mediocre horror anthology. These are merely just off-the-page adaptations that take no effort in trying to be scary or fun. Also, the blood and make-up f/x are sub-par. A couple of the segments here were done better in the Tales From the Crypt television show. I'd say watch this, only if you are really into the old horror comics.
