One of my very favorite parts of this job is being able to pay tribute to movies that I grew up loving, the ones that taught me something about the genre and had a huge impact on me as a horror or cinema fan in general. One such movie is Ernest R. Dickerson’s Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight andm with its 20th anniversary approaching, I thought the horror comedy would make for a perfect selection for my next DEADLY - Horror & Sci-Fi Magazine retrospective in the upcoming November issue.
During my research on Demon Knight over the last several months, I came across some really cool production stills and the official set of lobby cards that were released in 1995. Because they’re not something easily found online, I thought it would be fun to share with our readers as I geeked out over these and think other fans of Dickerson’s hugely underrated film might have some fun checking these out as well.
Look for my in-depth retrospective on Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight in the November issue of DEADLY - Horror & Sci-Fi Magazine, featuring interviews with Ernest Dickerson, co-stars William Sadler, Charles Fleischer, Brenda Bakke, producer Gil Adler and special effects creator Todd Masters.
