Tales from the Crapper

Tales from the Crapper is a 2004 straighttovideo anthology film that was a spoof of the Tales from the Crypt comics. The film was released by Troma Entertainment.

The movie started preproduction in early 2001, after a successful digitized webcomic starring Yaniv Sharon entitled Tales From the Crapper hit the Troma website. After the threepart comic was done, Troma President Lloyd Kaufman wanted a real series on their website to be made. A contract was done with India Allen, who had recently produced and directed the film The Rowdy Girls which Troma distributed. The budget for the first season was 200,000 USD.After more than a year of production, Troma received the footage that was shot and it was unwatchable. In some cases, there was missing sound, the camerawork seemed unprofessional. All of the episodes were unfinished. Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz were even more displeased when they found out that the entire budget was gone. In order to salvage the project, Lloyd Kaufman got former Troma alumni to rework the script and find new uses for the footage shot. In 2003, reshooting began both in Los Angeles and New York with Kaufman overseeing production. Gabriel Friedman, Tromas editor at the time, had made a list of the shots that were needed for the rewrites that they were working on. Despite Friedman and Kaufman being clear on what to do, many problems arose as well in the reshoot with incompetent crew members. This led to years of postproduction. In order to make scenes fit together and due to the lack of sound on most of the footage, many scenes had to be redubbed. Both segments, which started out as horror films with a slice of comedy, had now become overthetop comedy.citation needed ........
