Not Woke

What is this?

"Tales from the Crypt" (1972) stays true to the horror anthology genre and classic morality tales. Stories focus on consequences for individual choices, not identity checklists. Casting and character development reflect traditional storytelling, with no evidence of forced representation or contemporary social messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film leans on morality, retribution, and traditional social expectations. Masculine and feminine roles are depicted in line with the era’s norms. There’s no attempt to rewrite cultural traditions or undermine classic values, so it’s about as far from modern woke content as you can get.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints aren’t mocked, if anything, the film revels in a pluralism of vices and comeuppances. Moral ambiguity exists, but modern ideological themes are completely absent. There’s no agenda or uniformity here, just classic spooky morality tales.
