Lets watch Tales From the Crypt

Anybody else been watching?
I think all episodes are on shudder
I just watch/DVR on IFC (YouTube TV)
I loved it during its original run (1989-1996), and until they just started running the episodes on IFC, I hadn’t watch since then. 93 episodes, and I’ve probably (re)watched ~30 of them
Still love this shite
Twisted stories, great gore, humor, and titties
Fun to see top tier actors from then, and others that have become stars since
Some favorite episodes:
What’s Cookin’ - this is the one where Superman starts cooking/serving human steaks at his failing restaurant
Death of Some Salesmen - salesman is accosted by crazy family. Tim Curry plays the roles of the crazy family. Ed Begley is the salesman.
Cutting Cards - two crazy guys hate each other and are gambling addicts, so they bet on all sorts of wild stuff. Russian Roullette and shite
I’ve rewatched those, and it’s been good shite. Looking forward to more that I remember, but haven’t seen in 30 years, and any that I’ve completely forgotten about.

Yup, I am. I have a few episodes left in S3.
I forgot how many talented actors and actresses were involved with the show over the years. Heck, Michael J. Fox appeared in, and directed, S3E1. Just crazy
ETA: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Whoopi Goldberg chatting with the Crypt Keeper (in different episodes) was wild as well.

Favorite episode is probably Television Terror with Morton Downey Jr.
Back in the early 90s if you were an A-lister doing a Tales from the Crypt episode was kind of the thing to do.

Watching it as an adult I see it's as much black comedy as it is a horror.
Another interesting thing I saw a YouTube review point out, innocent people rarely get the shaft. The people who suffer the most are usually presented as huge scumbags who bring the bad situations on themselves so it's usually karma in the end.

Shudder recently added all 7 seasons. During Prime Day I got 2 months of AMC+ (which includes Shudder) for like $1.50/month.

They are free on Tubi.

Love me some Cryptkeeper puns.

I was too young to enjoy these back then, loving watching them on Shudder. I’m just now 6 episodes in.

Joey Pants as Ulric the Undying!
Jon Lovitz being cast as Yorick
Roger Daltrey’s nose rotting off
Jeeves has a tale of his own…
So many great performances by prominent actors
So many fun moments in the series
The Cryptkeeper channeling Rod Serling but with comedy
A must watch!

Just watched Episode 1.
The monologues from the Executioner were hilarious.

the ending of "Dig That Cat... He's Real Gone" still remains fresh in my mind ~35 years later.

I'll need to watch these again. Watched every episode as a young teen when it first came out.
I think my favorite episode has to be the one where Christopher Reeve is a diner owner. It also stars Judd Nelson and Meatloaf.

They are on Netflix or Prime at the moment too, I saw them last night scrolling through stuff, but can't remember which one. I do think they were leaving that service soon though.

Joe Pesci being cut in half was a good one.
Posted on 7/23/26 at 12:38 pm to MrFreakinMiyagi
The episode with the boarder girl at the farm and the scarecrow is burned into my subconscious.

What about the episode where Ed Begley Jr had to bang the ugly chick?
