      Surprised this guy doesn't mention some of the great stars in these episodes. Like Katy Segal was Slash's assistant. But mostly, the great Sam Kinison as the conscience.

      I saw that one a while ago, and honestly, it was freaking terrifying. A lot of the episodes actually terrified me, including Abra cadaver. Three a crowd ending just left me in shock what’s cooking was pretty startling when I first watched it but after watching it it was a really good episode and let’s see that’s mostly it to the ones that really shocked me like I was left speechless I think maybe werewolf concerto did the similar thing, but I’d have to watch it again

    I remember that when I was around 7, my Grandmother had HBO and other premium channels and had no idea. I loved staying up late at night and sneaking to watch this when it aired. It blew my mind as a 7 year old, and has earned a lot of respect from me as a Horror Anthology today. Great memories and nostalgia!

    One of the reasons "Yellow" ranks low on your list is because it was originally filmed for a spinoff series called Two Fisted Tales.

    • @eaglejones856
      @eaglejones856 3 месяца назад +2

      Yeah, that’s true king of the road was also filmed for that pilot and I think maybe showdown however showdown doesn’t seem like it would be filmed for that pilot because of the ghost cowboy thing and although it does have a good ending a pretty interesting one all things considered it does seem more like tales from the crypt dipping said if two fisted tails actually managed to get past the pilot phase what stories do you think they would’ve adapted?

    It's not a bad list, but here's the thing--there are SO SO many great stories from the original comics that never made it to the TV show. If every single one of the original stories had been made into a TV episode, I suspect your list would have looked very different. So here are some of my favorite Tales from the Crypt comic stories that never got a screen version:
    -How Green Was My Alley. A bigamist's two wives are both into sports--one bowls and the other plays golf. When they each have a tournament in the same city, they learn of each other's existence and get revenge on their mutual husband.
    -Political Pull. A candidate for mayor kills his rival and is elected unopposed, but his opponent's not giving up so easily.
    -Taint the Meat--It's the Humanity. During WWII, a butcher gets meat on the black market to circumvent wartime rationing, with tragic results.
    -Auntie, it's Coal Inside. A youngster hears mysterious voices that get him in trouble with his abusive aunt.

    Yellow definitely isn't like most episodes since it isn't a horror supernatural story but more of a real kind of horror as in the horrors of the war, and also Dead Right. Demi Moore is gorgeous in the episode and Jeffrey Tambor does a terrific job of playing an overweight grotesque slob.

Recommend anyone who hasn’t seen these episodes to give them a watch. Thanks for the upload and keep up the good work.

    @g.mitchell7110 Год назад +3

    The similarity between the story that inspired "Cutting Cards" episode and the Roald Dahl short story "Man from the South", first published a few years before the comic, make it seem likely that this was . . . inspired . . . by the Dahl story.
    Regardless, I find the Alfred Hitchcock Presents (original) version of this same basic idea to be better executed. "Cutting Cards" shows you exactly where the story is going and then goes there. It's fun and gruesome, but there's no suspense.

    I used to love this show as kid when it first aired, but I don’t feel it has aged well at all. Perhaps it’s the black humor aspect of many of the stories, but I prefer my anthologies more strait laced. That said, Cutting Cards is great fun. If you have not already done so, check out Rod Serling’s Night Gallery, and Roald Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected.

    Good picks.
    Douriff and Paxton are awesome, and the twist is nasty. But the writing is intense.
    Picking some of the episodes, haven't watched them in a while, i guess i would mix them with other shows, like "yellow", i thought for about 25 years, this episode was in the Carpenter presents movie Body Bags, in wich he is kinda the crypt keeper... but obviously not, i checked on imdb... totally different stories.
    But this one stuck with me as well, especially the end.
    But i still like the show and many are good, bought it a while back on blu-ray, but didn't get around to watch them again.
    Same as the Friday the 13th show, wich i did not know was the name back then when i watched it, in germany it was names: "Erben des Fluchs" (inheriters of the curse), wich i liked a lot.
    And Monsters... but sadly it is not available on dvd/blu-ray here

      Diggs plan was to use his makeshift hatchet to cut the officer's hand off. But Diggs had been running through the scorching hot desert for hours without any food or water, which in turn made him delirious and unable to see clearly.

    Thanks for that, but instead of going to the trouble of putting your cartoon rabbits in the spotlight everywhere, you could have mentioned the season and episode. No offense,

    I love tales of the Darkside and monsters the best. Why is that new Creepshow series so awful?

    You talked too much about you and not the episodes and conclusions. Or is that only for the "Black" episode? I clicked on this channel. You're better than the "bore" I clicked off. Although your name was pretentious and juvenile; I liked the show more than you. And you literally bragged about you.
