@@christianhiser8914 I'm assuming that also has to do with some rights issues. They might share rights with one or more companies and think it's too much of a hassle to figure out to calculate the profits of a singular show on a streaming platform.
People Who Live In Brass Hearses is one of my favorites. Bill Paxton and Brad Dourif are perfect together, with plenty of laughs and carnage throughout the episode. We can't forget the end twist that is one of the best in Crypt history. As for the movies, I liked Bordello as a teen. It never stuck with me though. Demon Knight is far superior in every way.
Classic show....and its hilarious how the 90s turned 80s r rated shows and movies into kid TV ahows....the animated tales from the crypt show, rambo robocop, etc
Sad theres like 1% of us that even know Troma exist. A friend of mine worked for them for some years. He got into horror make-up, stages, and his own VHS company.
Abra Cadaver. This episode creeped me out when I first saw it because its actually one of my childhood fears. Imagine now, as a adult, needed back surgery. I have endured 5 so far and they want to do another. Sweet dreams!
The new VOA is coolest when she sounds unscripted/has more feeling. At first, it kind of sounded like an missmojo video, but I believed she was an actual fan by the end. Good job.
Abra cadaver always got me and so did the one with Jon Lovitz when he thinks he’s auditioning for Shakespeare but it ends up being the patients took over the asylum and skinned him to use his head for Yorick. The final scene is just chilling to me. Great vid though.
My favorite episode was “Yellow” which is funny because there’s no supernatural stuff at all in it! It’s all completely plausible that that could happen.
My family had cable, but none of the movie channels. I loved it when HBO or Starz would give us a free trial weekend, and I'd catch Tales from the Crypt!
I think my favorite episode is when the lawyer gets a ticket for licensed plate and keeps getting worse punishment for random reasons. She ends up having to be a public defender as her defender gets the electric chair.
I always loved the intro and the Crypt Keeper always made me laugh. I don't know what it is about psychotic but funny characters I love so much. The Joker. Chucky. The Crypt Keeper. So good!
I'd say the original Twilight Zone is a strong contender but that was kind of half horror, half Sci-fi. In terms of pure horror Tales from the Crypt has yet to be topped
i really loved tales from the crypt & twilight zone as a kid. i don't remember much from any of these shows, only the crypt keeper ofc XD. best episode abra cadaver cause its imprinted on my mind (for the horror scare that it gave me)
There was one called Carrion Death that was pretty good I thought the entire series was awesome a few of the episodes actually scared me pretty good then again I've always been into Horror stuff I'm a big fan of the genre
Sounds funny... but I had very bad anxiety as a kid and I used to have panic attacks just from seeing the crypt keeper while flipping through channels. I half laugh about it now, but I can’t yet find it 100% funny to think about just yet 😅
As a kid, I was TERRIFIED of Chucky, The Joker, and Tales From The Crypt. Now as an adult, I love them all so much. I remember Dr. Drew on Loveline saying sources of horror as a kid become attraction as an adult. I find it to be true lol.
When my parents where working and I had to babysit my lil sister I would hum the theme song to tales from the crypt and she would start crying out of fear lol I was probably 12 my sister was about 4 but we used to watch a lot of horror movies
I remember when that ol' HBO logo skit (with the miniature/model town), first came out!!! That was like, 1983 or something??... (Damn it!,, I feel old now!!😳😂)
This brings back so many memories!! This is what we had back in the day. HBO and this show was planned to be watched every weekend. We didn’t have iPhones back then. Only Nintendo, Sega, and HBO Shows&Movies. Thank You for This Video I Love It!!!👍
I had no idea the frighteners was supposed to be the 3rd in the trilogy, I love that movie and it would've been a much better ending than ritual, but still less strong than demon knight because that movie is friggin amazing.
According to the Scream Factory DVD for Bordello of Blood, Bordello was made instead of Dead Easy as there was concerns about the latter's budget, script, and subject matter plus internal studio politics. Dead Easy was in pre-production when it was cancelled, with the casting not done but scouting locations were sought. Then, Bordello was rushed into production instead of Dead Easy. You should reach out to Gil Adler and AL Katz as they might have that script and give you more details. Ritual apparently was only slapped with Tales from the Crypt to enhance its marking appeal, and hilariously wasn't released in the USA until 2006-2007 (5-6 years after its initial overseas release).
also, the ventriloquists dummy is by far thee creepiest & one of the scariest episodes even to this day! Morty is so scary and the effects back then were amazing! gave chucky a run for his money kind of lol 😆 I got a replica of Morty made as a prop/home decor to pay homage to my fave episode and a great addition to My horror collection and home decor lol. he's great. Fun fact* the Crypt Keepers blue eyes are the SAME eyes as Chuckys in the original child's play. no wonder I love both of them haha. pretty cool how they tie together that way (as a horror fan I love facts like that) 🖤🖤💀👻💀👻👍👍👍☠️☠️🤗🤗👌🌟👌
I read master degree scientific paper of sociology on "From dusk till Dawn" where it bee thesis that this movie is about American stereotype how Americans sees Mexico, a lot of fun where drugs and babes are not just legal, but are promoted by super corrupt police, but also arguing that tity bars are Booby traps :) What is funny, pan-demonic bar name is "Titty Twister" with logarithmic spirals. That is science thesis :)
I loved tales from the crypt. However, I really wish they would have worried more about being scary than about being funny. Too many of the episodes just came off as too cartoonish or too humorous to really hold up. But most of them are still good
What a nostalgia atom bomb! I used to watch these religiously every week on HBO. I was 13 when the premiere aired and Luckily my parents weren't prudes, so as long as something wasn't porn they let us kids watch nearly anything we wanted. No helicopter parenting when I was a kid! I watched them by myself that summer because my older brother had just turned 18 and moved in with friends and my step brother went to live with his mom in Michigan for the summer, while my little brother was made to go to sleep at 9 because he was only 7 years old. I would pop popcorn and turn out all the lights. Well I actually did watch them with someone. Our dog Sugar! I love your content and I wish we had been friends back then because then I would have had a buddy to share the scares with in that amazing show!
Absolutely one of the best episodes. I love how creepy Television Terror was and everything from the direction to the cinematography to the actors to the buckets of blood. Awesome episode.
I was fifteen and decided to take my girlfriend to the movies. We both loved horror (plus it sometimes can force closeness, ya' know) so I picked the new Tales from the Crypt movie, Bordello of Blood. Now keep in mind that I'm barely in high school at this point. I had never heard the word "bordello" before so I had no clue what it meant. Needless to say it wasn't one of my more proud moments. We're still married all these years later so it worked out... although whenever Tales from the Crypt comes up she's always very quick to remind me of my formerly-lacking vocabulary.
The scariest episodes of TFTC are: "What's cooking" "New Arrival" "Death of some salesman" "Television terror" "Fitting punishment" Honorable mentions - "Strung along" and "House of horror".
This was the first episode I remember watching and I never noticed it as a kid, but in Carrion Death, Maclachlan could have escaped if had used the broken glass from the window when he tussles with the Policeman inside that shed. Instead he drags him across the desert.
if the new candyman movie is good they should do a candyman horror anthology series hosted by tony todd just like freddys nightmares did with robert englund
I've loved Tales from the crypt ever since I was a kid. It's probably my favorite show of the 90's alongside The X-Files. I just wish they would release a HD set for the show! Seriously, there's no reason not to. This show needs a Badass 4k set from Scream Factory!! As far as my favorite episodes.. People Who Live in Brass Hearses(Brad Dourif/Bill Paxton as brothers, I'm sold), Oil's well that ends well, Came the Dawn, Television Terror, Only skin Deep(Cool Halloween episode), Split Second, House of Horror, Undertaking Palor(kids trying to make a horror movie), there are too many to name. I love them all!!
I always thought " fitting punishment" was a great episode moses gunn as ezra thornberry was truly awful he crippled his own nephew then continued to abuse him then murdered him and mutilated his body so when his end came it was definitely" fitting"
My favorite episode was "Split Second" with Billy Wirth. Out of every episode, that one is the one I remember the most. Probably because Billy Wirth was in it. But still ...
@GamebroTV it sure is. It’s funny. I went and rewatched the first 4 seasons of Tales a couple years ago just to see if they still held up. And for the most part, they do. But Three’s a Crowd is the only one that still made me feel like it did when I first watched it. Truly disturbing.
@GamebroTV I’ll check season 5 out. I only went through season 4 because those were the ones I saw on the original run. For one reason or another I stopped after that season. I’ll check that one out though.
Tales from the Crypt was sorta groundbreaking in a way when it comes to Demon Knight. It was the first mainstream horror movie I recall to 1) Have two black female protagonists in Jeryline (Jada Pinkett-Smith) & Irene (C.C.H Pounder) & 2) Jeryline SURVIVES the entire ordeal to become the new heroine & keeper of the key. Even though Jada was a big name at the time, I totally thought her character would be killed off. Demon Knight is a great film which I've always felt deserved a sequel
The Salesmanship episode reminds me a lot of RE7, tbh. Thing From The Grave felt like a love letter to zombie based horror. On the other hand, this series aside from Bayonetta 2 and Metal Gear Rising Revengeance showcased the roles I recognize from John Kassir. His career lasted since!
The "What's Cooking" episode with Christopher Reeve and Meatloaf will always be one of my favorite episodes of TV.
Got major “Sweeney Todd” vibes from it 😆 plus John Bender gets his comeuppance 🤣
“Already hot”
I've developed a taste.
Haha that’s one of my favs too!
It's a dog eat dog world and we're all just different flavors of Alpo.
Fingers crossed the rights issues get resolved and Shudder picks it up.
Why is it not on HBO max though?
It was on amazon Prime last year

Classic show....and its hilarious how the 90s turned 80s r rated shows and movies into kid TV ahows....the animated tales from the crypt show, rambo robocop, etc
Even low budget Troma movies like The Toxic Avenger lol
Even more hilarious that those were all based on comic books from the 50s & 60s! :)
Let's not forget the "attack of the killer tomatoes" cartoon
Sad theres like 1% of us that even know Troma exist. A friend of mine worked for them for some years. He got into horror make-up, stages, and his own VHS company.
I loved "Demon knight" as a kid, i remember staying up late on every school night it was on, totally worth falling sleep in class😅
Abra Cadaver. This episode creeped me out when I first saw it because its actually one of my childhood fears.
Imagine now, as a adult, needed back surgery. I have endured 5 so far and they want to do another. Sweet dreams!
I hope all is well and you can put these back surgeries behind you.
Television Terror is by far one of my favorite episodes.
Mine too.
The new VOA is coolest when she sounds unscripted/has more feeling. At first, it kind of sounded like an missmojo video, but I believed she was an actual fan by the end. Good job.
Its been 30 years but I remembered every one of these stories like it was yesterday.
Abra cadaver always got me and so did the one with Jon Lovitz when he thinks he’s auditioning for Shakespeare but it ends up being the patients took over the asylum and skinned him to use his head for Yorick. The final scene is just chilling to me. Great vid though.
@5:39 I have to say, "Death of Some Salesman" definitely still lurks in my mind, too.
Closest thing we have now to Tales from the Crypt is now Creepshow, but man do I miss the crypt keeper introducing stories.
The only reason I had HBO back then, was to watch this show. I'm so glad I bought all 7 seasons of it on DVD a few years back too.
Collection Completed and Cuttin Cards are both underrated and hilarious!!!
Oh My God!!..Tales from The Crypt was my SHOW back in my teenager years!!
The seventies, eighties and nineties were the best for movies, shows and music.
My favorite episode was “Yellow” which is funny because there’s no supernatural stuff at all in it! It’s all completely plausible that that could happen.
"Mornin' Mess". This episode sacred the ever-lovin' daylights outta me.
My family had cable, but none of the movie channels. I loved it when HBO or Starz would give us a free trial weekend, and I'd catch Tales from the Crypt!
Bring this back someone
man do i miss that show! such a great blend of horror and comedy. And the Demon Knight soundtrack is the best!!!!
The memories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVED IT!!!!!
I think my favorite episode is when the lawyer gets a ticket for licensed plate and keeps getting worse punishment for random reasons. She ends up having to be a public defender as her defender gets the electric chair.
@Donnie Delvecchio yup
This show needs an official HD release.
I always loved the intro and the Crypt Keeper always made me laugh. I don't know what it is about psychotic but funny characters I love so much. The Joker. Chucky. The Crypt Keeper. So good!
They just said Tales from the Crypt was one of the best horror anthology series of all time. Is there really any better
I'd say the original Twilight Zone is a strong contender but that was kind of half horror, half Sci-fi.
In terms of pure horror Tales from the Crypt has yet to be topped
I agree Twilight zone had horror in it. Creepshow on shudder has been pretty great too
You wasn't lying hahaha that hbo intro with the town models just literally sent me back in time.
i really loved tales from the crypt & twilight zone as a kid. i don't remember much from any of these shows, only the crypt keeper ofc XD. best episode abra cadaver cause its imprinted on my mind (for the horror scare that it gave me)
There was one called
Carrion Death that was pretty good I thought the entire series was awesome a few of the episodes actually scared me pretty good then again I've always been into Horror stuff
I'm a big fan of the genre
Tales from the crypt is an brilliant HBO show also I got all seven seasons on DVD and this show should come back. 😀👍💿
I loved What's Cookin' with Christopher Reeve and Bess Armstrong.
Awesome call on The Phantom!! Slam Evil!!
Abra Cadaver! Saw it once as a kid, and the ending has always stuck with me
i really want this show 2 come back the crypt keeper is just laying in a box at some storage unit
Sounds funny... but I had very bad anxiety as a kid and I used to have panic attacks just from seeing the crypt keeper while flipping through channels. I half laugh about it now, but I can’t yet find it 100% funny to think about just yet 😅
As a kid, I was TERRIFIED of Chucky, The Joker, and Tales From The Crypt. Now as an adult, I love them all so much. I remember Dr. Drew on Loveline saying sources of horror as a kid become attraction as an adult. I find it to be true lol.
My favorites are "Split Second" and "Death of some Salesman"
I will never understand why Bordello of Blood gets so much hate. It's a fun, campy, and gory vampire movie.
When my parents where working and I had to babysit my lil sister I would hum the theme song to tales from the crypt and she would start crying out of fear lol I was probably 12 my sister was about 4 but we used to watch a lot of horror movies
I remember when that ol' HBO logo skit (with the miniature/model town), first came out!!! That was like, 1983 or something??...
(Damn it!,, I feel old now!!😳😂)
I LOVED THIS SHOW USE TO WATCH EVERY WEEK . I LIKED THE EPOSIDE WITH DEMI MOORE JUST A COOL SHOW .
I wish TALES FROM THE CRYPT was streaming on HBO Max.
Demon Knight is awesome, ...Blood was the first I saw so has a special place for me.
"As Comes The Dawn." Was a good one, predating 30 Days Of Night by the better part of two decades.
I like the way you say fuck...
Seriously though, great video it inspired me to go back and rewatch some of my favorite episodes ❤️
None but the lonely heart. Hard to believe that Tom Hanks started and directed this one.
This brings back so many memories!! This is what we had back in the day. HBO and this show was planned to be watched every weekend. We didn’t have iPhones back then. Only Nintendo, Sega, and HBO Shows&Movies. Thank You for This Video I Love It!!!👍
Ah I remember seeing my first set of shoulders.
I had no idea the frighteners was supposed to be the 3rd in the trilogy, I love that movie and it would've been a much better ending than ritual, but still less strong than demon knight because that movie is friggin amazing.
Television Terror is hands down the scariest episode imo
all the episodes are on youtube

Awesome
You forgot about the mummy episode with Steve Buscemi
Good shit 👏 we NEED a revival
also, the ventriloquists dummy is by far thee creepiest & one of the scariest episodes even to this day! Morty is so scary and the effects back then were amazing! gave chucky a run for his money kind of lol 😆 I got a replica of Morty made as a prop/home decor to pay homage to my fave episode and a great addition to My horror collection and home decor lol. he's great.

She is Fuck'n Funny, this was so great to watch. THANK YOU! This took me back SO far. I need to buy the full series.
I remember comming across a vhs copy of the movie i though it was the cartoon i was terrified when joe pechi got cut inhalf with a chainsaw
I read master degree scientific paper of sociology on "From dusk till Dawn" where it bee thesis that this movie is about American stereotype how Americans sees Mexico, a lot of fun where drugs and babes are not just legal, but are promoted by super corrupt police, but also arguing that tity bars are Booby traps :) What is funny, pan-demonic bar name is "Titty Twister" with logarithmic spirals.
That is science thesis :)
Should do “tales from the dark side” and “monsters.”
I love the woman doing the voice-over for these videos! Has she worked on any other series?
I love hearing her voice say fuck lol
HBO made it, yet it's not on their streaming service.
How is this show NOT on HBO max? Boo.
I loved tales from the crypt. However, I really wish they would have worried more about being scary than about being funny. Too many of the episodes just came off as too cartoonish or too humorous to really hold up. But most of them are still good
I was born in 83. Can verify that this was one of the top 10 coolest parts of growing up.

I used to watch this on fox and sci fi. I even used to have the dvd collection
Television terror will always be my favorite. Love it
Absolutely one of the best episodes. I love how creepy Television Terror was and everything from the direction to the cinematography to the actors to the buckets of blood. Awesome episode.

I honestly loved watching this show. I miss it because it was great.
It is amazing how good this series is.
The scariest episodes of TFTC are:
"What's cooking"
"New Arrival"
"Death of some salesman"
"Television terror"
"Fitting punishment"
Honorable mentions - "Strung along" and "House of horror".
new arrival hits a different cord. I got many nightmares after this episode
Personally I liked Fitting Punishment, Split Personality, Til Death, Dig the Cat, and The New Arrival.
My favorite episode is Three's a Crowd. I vividly remember being shocked by the twist at the end.
Lol I just posted a similar comment.
I agree with you.
Such a great episode.
Definitely the most depressing and one of the more serious episodes
They tried a reboot of this show with M. Night Shymalan, but it was cancelled in 2017 due to Copyright disputes.
Thank GOD!
Thank goodness M KNIGHT SHAMMALAN sucks lol
That was a close call.
@David B Ah. M.Night isn't that bad of a filmmaker. Besides Last Airbender, most of his filmography is pretty good.
Thank goodness, it was going to be on TNT as well smh.
This was the first episode I remember watching and I never noticed it as a kid, but in Carrion Death, Maclachlan could have escaped if had used the broken glass from the window when he tussles with the Policeman inside that shed. Instead he drags him across the desert.
Exactly! I mean, how hard is it to cut off the policeman's hand?
I absolutely love and miss this show!!! I love Billy Zane and The Phantom as well haha!!! Great video!!
“Three’s a Crowd” is my favorite episode of Tales from the Crypt. It’s grounded, no paranormal element just madness. It also has a fantastic ending.
My two favorite episodes were Television Terror (which was the scariest episode in my opinion) and What’s Cookin’.
I love the old school horror anthology series and movies like this, the Hammer House of Horror and Urban Gothic being guilty pleasures of mine.
Urban Gothic was cool!
DEMON KNIGHT
if the new candyman movie is good they should do a candyman horror anthology series hosted by tony todd just like freddys nightmares did with robert englund
My favorite episode of Tales from the crypt of all time is "Werewolf Concerto" one of the biggest twists of all time in my opinion.
Tales From The Crypt was campy, low brow, cheesy but the graphics were amazing. Did not hold back on the Gore, Violence, Drugs, Language and nudity
I've loved Tales from the crypt ever since I was a kid. It's probably my favorite show of the 90's alongside The X-Files. I just wish they would release a HD set for the show! Seriously, there's no reason not to. This show needs a Badass 4k set from Scream Factory!! As far as my favorite episodes.. People Who Live in Brass Hearses(Brad Dourif/Bill Paxton as brothers, I'm sold), Oil's well that ends well, Came the Dawn, Television Terror, Only skin Deep(Cool Halloween episode), Split Second, House of Horror, Undertaking Palor(kids trying to make a horror movie), there are too many to name. I love them all!!
the problem with this shows is that most episodes could be considered classics. so its difficult to narrow down and pick the best ones.
shhhh!!! dont even talk about Tales. Just delete this video before they get the idea to remake it
I always thought " fitting punishment" was a great episode moses gunn as ezra thornberry was truly awful he crippled his own nephew then continued to abuse him then murdered him and mutilated his body so when his end came it was definitely" fitting"
My favorite episode was "Split Second" with Billy Wirth. Out of every episode, that one is the one I remember the most. Probably because Billy Wirth was in it. But still ...
Still my favorite show on tv
mee too. Full of satanist symbols and deep meanings
favorite episode: Forever Ambergris. Very deep dive into the human soul. All the characters are petty. Great episode
"The Phantom is the best Billy Zane movie..." Girl, do you even Dead Calm?!? :-o
Still don't understand why this series hasn't been added to HBO Max
I hope no 'Tales from the crypt' revival happens till all this horrible woke bullshit is dead and buried, because otherwise they would just ruin it.
I used to watch this show on SYFY and the now defunct Chiller Network.
Three’s a Crowd messed me up. That one still gets me even today.
@GamebroTV it sure is. It’s funny. I went and rewatched the first 4 seasons of Tales a couple years ago just to see if they still held up. And for the most part, they do. But Three’s a Crowd is the only one that still made me feel like it did when I first watched it. Truly disturbing.
@GamebroTV I’ll check season 5 out. I only went through season 4 because those were the ones I saw on the original run. For one reason or another I stopped after that season. I’ll check that one out though.
@GamebroTV will do
anything TFTC is right up my alley. thank you for this
I would settle for a Blu-ray boxset but likely never will
That episode of the painter that starts making art with blood and stuff is awesome
Tales from the Crypt was sorta groundbreaking in a way when it comes to Demon Knight.
It was the first mainstream horror movie I recall to 1) Have two black female protagonists in Jeryline (Jada Pinkett-Smith) & Irene (C.C.H Pounder) & 2) Jeryline SURVIVES the entire ordeal to become the new heroine & keeper of the key.
Even though Jada was a big name at the time, I totally thought her character would be killed off. Demon Knight is a great film which I've always felt deserved a sequel
The Salesmanship episode reminds me a lot of RE7, tbh. Thing From The Grave felt like a love letter to zombie based horror. On the other hand, this series aside from Bayonetta 2 and Metal Gear Rising Revengeance showcased the roles I recognize from John Kassir. His career lasted since!
