Over New Years they had the Twilight Zone marathon and people were complaining because they mixed in the Jordan Peele TZ which I’m glad they complained. It made me go on YouTube and watch the 80s version and the 02 version onTubi. As a kid in the 80s I loved all the anthology series like the TZ reboot, Hitchcock, Hitchhiker, Tales From the Darkside, Tales from the Crypt, monsters, and Amazing Stories.
I used to wish that they would bring those back but considering how many horror movies today are made for “modern day audiences” I guess I’m glad they didn’t. I know Peele’s TZ got rave reviews from the critics. I mean he had an episode mocking trump and one about a white cop shooting a black teen. I mean how original! To be fair I do think if Peele could stop being obsessed with race he w could tell some good stories.
Granted there are the reruns and a ton of old pulps and reprints of Vault of Horror and the old sci-fi comics like weird science
A lot of good shows are impossible now because networks aren't willing to invest the money or resources towards them. Reality programming and headliners are what they want because they believe it to be cash printers. Instead, it's the final stages of the cancer that kills a network.
I remember reading an article saying that exact thing. Reality shows are everywhere it seems
I loved that show. Yes! I vaguely remember the connection. I need to rewatch those
What show was he referring to? His comment has been deleted.
The 90s remake of Outer Limits
There are a few series I've had show up among streaming options that might be up your alley. I haven't watched any except for a couple of episodes of Black Mirror, but maybe others can speak to quality.
Black Mirror (Netflix), Love, Death, and Robots (Netflix), and Electric Dreams (Prime)
Looking online, it seems there might be other older ones you could try to find: The Outer Limits, Thriller, Night Gallery, Are You Afraid of the Dark, and R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour (the latter two are targeted for younger audiences).
Good shows. Those newer ones were ok but I’m soured on a lot of newer shows but Black Mirror and the other two you mentioned had some good episodes. I loved Are You Adrian’s of the Dark as a kid and those other ones are good. Watched a lot of 90s Outer Limits
Try the Cabinet of Curiosities. It’s from Guillermo Del Toro, on Netflix. Pirate if you can ;)
Thanks!
Cool! I’ve never heard of those. Will have to check them out. You read any horror books?
I know! It’s weird how it’s not on hbo max. Tales from the Cryptkeeper is on Tubi. Granted it’s geared towards kids but I rewatched recently since I watched when I came on originally. If you ever get a chance get some reprints of the original comic from the 50s.
LOL I can't believe they made a kids show based on Tales from the Crypt. The 80's and 90's were wild.
Then again I didn't realize it was originally from a comic.
On my comic book wish list getting an original tales from the crypt comic is in the top 10. I have a lot of reprints. Those are good! A lot of the series episodes were adapted from them. The kids version was toned down and had a moral to each story but even the adult version had the bad person getting their comeuppance
