"Tales From The Crypt" is coming back in the form of a new 10-episode series directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
A pilot of the new series, which has been given the working title "Time of Death," has been ordered by cable channel TNT.
The series will see the Oscar-nominated director Night Shyamalan at the helm of the new anthology series which will bring back a reinvented Crypt Keeper, one of the most popular characters from the world of "Tales from the Crypt," and will be inspired by the classic slasher films of the 1980s.
The show will feature horror stories that unfold in real time to take viewers through a single "long night of hell."
Another "Tales of the Crypt" project in development is the psychological thriller "Creatures", which will be written by BAFTA Award winner Dominic Mitchell. Tom Shankland from "House of Cards" looks set to direct.
The new "Tales from the Crypt" is set to launch in 2017.
