Tales From the Crypt Presents: Ritual is the third film spin-off from the HBO television series Tales from the Crypt, the first being Demon Knight and the second being Bordello of Blood. It stars Tim Curry, Jennifer Grey and Craig Sheffer. A third Crypt movie was planned on the release of Bordello, but due to the low box office take in on the film, the third movie was cancelled.^{[citation needed]} This movie, originally released for foreign countries in 2001, was not released in the US until May 2, 2006 on DVD. The film originally had nothing to do with Tales from the Crypt and did not have the bookend Cryptkeeper segments.^{[citation needed]} When the film did poorly in theaters, however, special Cryptkeeper segments were filmed for the US release with John Kassir reprising his role as the Cryptkeeper.^{[citation needed]}
