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.
The original Tales From The Crypt is still my favorite, it was a perfect blend of horror and comedy.
Masters of Horror was alright, extremely hit or miss compared to TFTC.
I mostly like anthology horror but the original Heavy Metal is a good scifi anthology. The animation still looks great today. It would be perfect for a series but they’d absolutely fuck it up if they made it today.
Whenever I come across them I try to get reprints of Tales from the Cryot, Vault of Horror, and Weird Science. Masters of Horrir was very hit or miss but had some good ones
Came here for this. We'll never see another series like it and horror has become a joke in the past decade.
Did you know that the Crypt Keeper has the eyeballs taken from the original Chucky doll? Kevin Yagher was called to do both projects and when it came time to finish the Crypt Keeper he was stuck for a set of eyeballs. He popped the clear blue eyes out of Chucky and the look worked, so they kept it.
TFTC was also funny occasionally. MOH I don't remember one of them having humor.
The one with the Deer Woman was a little more lighthearted but that’s the only one I remember.
It was John Landis' episode so that might explain if it had humor in it
