Currently binge watching Monsters, The Hitchhiker, Tales from the Crypt, Are You Afraid of the Dark, and the 80s Alfred Hitchcock reboot and it has me missing anthology series. Saw a lot in the 80s/90s. Anyone have a favorite?
If I had to pick just one I guess mine would be the original TZ but I have a soft spot for the 80s version. One Step Beyond is an old but good one. Nightmare Cafe was a good but very short lived series.
I remember Are you Afraid of the Dark as a kid but the others was probably too young for.
Speaking of childhood, I remember a friend once showing me this show Grizzly takes for Gruesome kids that was a comedy horror anthology series he used to watch, back when British TV was good.
Cool! I’m sure you’ve seen me mention my love for pre diversity obsession British programming. You should check out the anthology series from the 80s. A great time for that sort of programming
I loved Are you Afraid of the Dark as a kid (and pete and pete)
But I'd imagine Are you Afraid of the Dark hasn't aged well and I'm too old and miserable now to enjoy such simple pleasures.
Eh the effects weren't always amazing but on rewatch with my niece I was surprised at how effective it could be with the less-is-more approach. Also it was a Canadian production right before we became a glorified hollywood backlot so they had some pretty elaborate set pieces and locations.
