Demon Knight (1995)

Everything Actioncast

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris celebrate the 30th scareiversary of 1995's Demon Knight, the first feature film from the cult favorite HBO series Tales from the Crypt.

William Sadler stars as Brayker, the protector of a powerful key that keeps the Earth from falling into a demon-filled apocalypse. Billy Zane is The Collector, a high-level demon sent from Hell to kill Brayker and anyone else in his way to possess the key. Brayker and a group of eccentric characters are trapped in a New Mexico boarding house as The Collector unleashes a horde of demons and tries to manipulate the minds of the humans to turn them to the dark side. Zach and Chris discuss how unnerving it is to see The Cryptkeeper (John Kassir) walking, how much fun Billy Zane seems to have, the extremely 90s soundtrack and aesthetic, the trademark Tales from the Crypt sex and gore, and more.

You can rent or buy Demon Knight on platforms like Apple TV, Prime Video, or Fandango at Home. Next week, we're getting ready for a villainous turn from Mark Wahlberg in Flight Risk by revisiting his previous bad guy role, 1996's Fear.
