Tales of the Crypt

Documentarian Chip Selby has a web diary over at IGN chronicling the trials and tribulations he underwent in the making of his Tales From the Crypt documentary, Tales from the Crypt: From Comic Books to Television. It's one of those interesting behind-the-scenes looks at a 5 car pile up on a lonely stretch of road that you see so often in the entertainment industry. Reading some of the stuff Chip discusses just makes you cringe, like when his executive producer wanted to upconvert his standard 4x3 documentary to a high definition picture.

Anyway, it's interesting stuff, as I've already said, and if you're a fan of filmmaking, old EC comics or horrible traffic accidents you'll want to check this one out. It's definitely worth the look.
