I loved this as a kid. The theme song with intro is amazing(Composed by Danny Elfman)but will be a bit before you get to see it. I loved Tales From The Cryptkeeper too. A cartoon that came out a few years later, which uses the same music for their theme song.
Tales from the darkside. 1983 horror anthology series. It's my first memory of TV horror as a youngster in the early 80s. Check it out guys!
The first episode of the 80s Twilight Zone, "Shatterday/A Little Piece and Quiet." It's not one of the five best episodes of that series, but I'd recommend it in the hope that you watch the whole series someday. (The double title is because the 80s Twilight Zone had a different format from the original. Each episode aired in a one-hour timeslot but was divided into either two or three stories of varying lengths. This caused major problems when the series was syndicated in a half-hour timeslot.)
I absolutely hope you watch this series because it is fantastic. I'm pretty sure that the puppetry effects are very similar as what was done in Gremlins. On another note, other horror series I'd recommend are: KOLCHAK, the Night Stalker (there's a pilot movie called The Night Stalker. It's about a vampire in Las Vegas. Also The Night Gallery (hosted by Rod Serling). Darkroom (hosted by James Coburn) and the most modern one is MASTERS OF HORROR.
Tales From the Crypt was produced by Robert Zemeckis, and he even directed 3 episodes, including the Series Premiere. (It was the Christmas-themed episode that I think was called "And All Through the House.")
The Christmas episode is actually episode 2
TFTC, S2 E16 : "Television Terror" with Morton Downey Jr. was a surprising stand-out for me. First time the show made me uncomfortable in my chair (yikes) BTW, the Dad whose son shot the crossbow plays the police captain in the Lethal Weapon movies, also directed by Richard Donner.
The tales from the crypt I remember the most is season 2 episode 3, Cutting Cards. You'd love it.
I used to watch this show every week with my dad when it came on (just like TNG). It’s a lot of fun and they were known for their different guest stars. I’m sure you’ll both enjoy this one if you continue with it.
"Shogun" (2024) - miniseries, only 10 episodes.
I was still young when Tales from the Crypt came out. Some were campy horror but I do remember some of them scaring the heck out of me, and I remember Demon Knight giving me the shivers. And there is no getting that shrieking laughter out of your head from childhood. 90s Outer Limits was even worse. It'd get dark and creepy. But you'd like it as there's a wealth of popular guest stars.
I haven't really seen any Tales from the Crypt except for there was a cartoon in the 90s I seem to recall, and there was a movie called Tales from the Crypt Presents: Bordello of Blood.. which I had taped and watched repeatedly lol
I remember Demon Knight was on HBO all the time
Have you seen the outer limits episode ‘sand kings’ from 1995? It’s classic tv sci-fi/horror.
Nope!
Oh cool! This is a good idea.
Disclaimer: Haven't watched those episodes in a while so maybe they're not as good as I remember them but those stuck in my mind. From the original Outer Limits: The Zanti Misfits Nightmare The Invisibles From the 90s Outer Limits: The New Breed Tempests Inconstant Moon Abduction
