Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight

When Tales from the Crypt finished on TV, it was inevitable that a few films would follow.
Here's Demon Knight.


Plot: Introduced by our now Hollywood Crypt Keeper, we follow a car, chased down the highway at 100 mph. William Sadler (Death from Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey) seeks refuge in an old church, now converted for the waifs and strays of society. Inside he finds Uncle Willy (Dick Miller- Gremlins), Thomas Hayden Church (Sideways) and Jada Pinkett (pre-Smith). It doesn't take long though for his errant pursuer- Billy Zane to find find him and set upon our hero with a horde of Demons.

Well, now it's up to Mr Sadler must stop Hell on Earth and endure more than one random quip from his hellish assailant.

Budget: $12,000,000

Gross: $21,088,568

Line of the film: "Hell on Earth? Shit. I got Hemeroids!"

Fun Fact: The first draft of the film was written in 1987, with the film passing through the hands of numerous horror film directors and finally landing on the Silver Screen in 1995 under the producership of Mr Silver himself (Joel).
