The crypts keeper really looks like Kelly Anne Conway

Always loved "You, Murderer" with Isabella Rossellini as a noir-esque bad girl, made up to look like her mother Ingrid Bergman.

Trump Derangement Syndrome at R2. Can we have a discussion about anything without bringing Trump and his cronies into it?

Loved Tales from the Crypt.

Rudy Giuliani did a great job as The Crypt Keeper. He should have won an Emmy

Sometimes I think it would be fun to see Trump reelected just to watch your heads explode. The fucker has been out of office for a couple of years, he’s being sued and prosecuted six ways to Sunday, and you losers are STIlL whining about him 18 hours a day. Get a goddam life you fucking pathetic pissers.

R7 probably spends all day spinning conspiracies about the Clintons

I still think about his novice all the time

A lot of DLers are quite familiar with Crypts

I don't remember many specific episodes but loved it because it was so twisted.

Really wish it was streaming somewhere.

R14, I was at the PREMIERE!

I love these types of shows. Tales from the Darkside, the Hitchhiker, Creepshow....all gone now.

by Anonymousreply 16October 20, 2023 9:26 PM

Yes! This one with Zelda Rubinstein was great!

Jane Horrocks was in an episode too. So many famous people guest starred on this show. Arnold Schwarzenegger was even lifting weights with the Crypt Keeper. lol

Tim Curry played an entire family in an episode.

R8. Nope. I actually voted for Hillary. I’m sure your whiny ass didn’t. You probably stayed home on Election Day 2016 because you couldn’t have Bernie.

OP I thought you meant the old horror comics. Not television.

Back in 1993, during a dry spell in my broadcasting career, I ended up apartment-sitting for a friend in Pasadena. Great gig. Luxury apartment near downtown. With little more to do than lie by the pool, I decided to sign on with a casting agency. They sent me to a shoot of "Tales From the Crypt." It was just an "extra" role playing the crew manager at an ice cream factory. But the episode featured Bill Paxton (before he hit the big time), Steve Buscemi and Lanie Kazan. Kazan was a hoot--so warm and friendly. The extras weren't supposed to talk to the main cast members, but she was gracious toward me. It was a fun day and we were paid and fed.

The one with Demi Moore and Jeffrey Tambor is good.

I always liked this one with the mom from back to the future

I remember an episode where Peter Onorati was running around with his shirt off. Hot daddy!

It was a good show for spotting out-of-work star-ish type performers.

A reboot equals a Joan Van Ark comeback.

by Anonymousreply 30October 21, 2023 6:57 AM

R30 I really hope there’s no reboot, because we all know what that would mean. Every single minority group known to man would have to be “represented,” right down to “nonbinary pangender demigirl,” and every episode would have to be a social justice message about how white men are responsible for everything from the gender binary to COVID.

R31 I guess the world’s too tough for your fragile ego. Stick to those reruns, honey.

by Anonymousreply 32October 21, 2023 8:58 AM

Rock on, r32. People here are such hypocrites, complaining about a lack of gay male representation but freaking out over other groups bring represented. 🙄

by Anonymousreply 34October 21, 2023 6:10 PM

R31 well they are PARTIALLY responsible for the spread of Covid in the states. Come to find out. Pouring bleach up one’s ass doesn’t work.

by Anonymousreply 35October 21, 2023 6:44 PM

R32/R34 I guess you’re too dumb to understand my post. I mentioned “nonbinary pangender demigirl” meaning they will be pressured to represent minority groups that don’t really exist, like nonbinary, etc. I wasn’t talking about real minorities. But you knew this already. You just wanted to bitch.

R36 These are your words:

[quote] Every single minority group known to man would have to be represented

[quote] every episode would have to be a social justice message about how white men are responsible for everything

No one’s dumb. Your flailing backpedaling and gaslighting is not working. You said exactly what you meant the first time and you know it. So do we.

I like the 1972 movie as well

Sad that some people want to invade every thread to complain about trans people, non-binary people, in threads that are not about that at all

r31 is OP, r40. He has a problem with "far-left liberals".

I remember seeing this episode as a 15 year old and being turned on by the husband.

R37 Are white men really responsible for everything though? I mean, I get the argument. I’m a white man but it’s hardly my fault that men have penises and women have vaginas.

I was pretty terrified by the Santa in the the debut trilogy. The maniac was a lot scarier than the one in the movie with Joan Collins.
