I use to watch this on HBO back in the day and love the writing and clever endings. It was based on the 1950s EC Comics series of the same name. Each episoide was hosted by a mummified little monster called The Crypt Keeper (voiced by the talented John Kassir..great guy..met him)...The Crypt keeper was funny and the show had a list of A++ directors and huge named actors. I also read the reprints of the comics during the show's run and saw that the producers were true to the comic series. I love this series and own it on dvd. Any other fans here?

I loved this show when I was a bit younger...always watched it (in Israel it was constantly repeated on weekends). There were some really cool stories...I should get the DVDs for some nostalgia.

I loved Tales from the Crypt, when I was little though I used to cover my ears and close my eyes when they showed the Crypt Keeper but now I think he's just hilarious.

I love TFTC! I've always been a fan of shows like this, Amazing Stories, Twilight Zone and Night Gallery. And Creepshow is one of my favorite Romero films. So to have a series based on the old EC comics that Creepshow drew it's inspiration from is fantastic.
I just bought season one a few nights ago and it was a great trip down memory lane. I'd forgotten how much I loved "The Man That Was Death". William Sadler is just awesome in it. Probably one of my favorite episodes.
