Reported Problem for Tales from the Crypt Collection
posted by MysteryTrainSTAFFMOD on February 21, 2022 at 4:42 PM
Item: Tales from the Crypt Collection
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: Movies must be true sequels in order to qualify for a collection on TMDb, meaning a story running from the first film all through the last. That is not the case here. Movies may be part of a trilogy without being proper sequels per our rules. https://www.themoviedb.org/bible/collection
The exception is only for numbered sequels, so Tales from the Crypt collection does not qualify.

This collection was most likely locked by @lineker I'd like to hear their opinion.

Tales from the Crypt is by definition an anthology premise. the comics, anthology tv show, anthology movies too.
The 3 movies in the current collection have no running thread. thats fine.
"tales from the crypt" (1972) https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/38939-tales-from-the-crypt "vault of horror" (1973) https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/53868-the-vault-of-horror - Description of this movie says "sequel to tales from the crypt" literally the first sentence plus the 2 movies above share the same story and screenwriter. those 2 are true sequals.
the 3 movies IN the collection... share nothing, no characters, no writers, they all have demon/vampires ?!?
all 5 movies DO have the cryptkeeper as a narrator/ jumpoff.
none of the 5 stories are features from the TV show. none of the 5 movies are collections of content from other sources. not a "best of" collection, not a volume collection.
just food for thought.
