I watched plenty of shows growing
up. One show that to this day that has
and always be one of my favorites is Tales
From the Crypt. Even at a young age, I gravitated toward the Horror
genre. And with that show, I was able to
watch several scary stories. My parents
didn't let my brother, Aaron, and I watch it.
We would still find a way to sneak out of our rooms and watch this
awesome show.
The intro itself was damn cool to
watch. No matter how times I watched the
show, I was awestruck at the tour of that spooky house. And even though I knew it was coming, I would
jump when the CryptKeeper would pop out of his coffin. When I first saw the CryptKeper, I cringed in
fright. But when he made his first corny
joke, I smiled. Any creepy looking guy
who cracked jokes couldn't be that bad.
There were so many episodes of this
show I'll never forget. 'And All Through
the House' gave us a reason to be scared of Santa. 'The Ventriloquist's Dummy' showed exactly
why ventriloquist dummies are scary.
'Mournin Mess' gave us a terrifying look into a secret society. 'Death of Some Salemen' showed the audience
that Tim Curry can pull of multiple roles and still be creepy. Finally, 'The Third Pig' was able to give us
a retelling of The Three Little Pigs that Horror fans can enjoy.
Tales
From the Crypt was a rare show that
had some stories that scared you and some that made you laugh. The show is still fun watching on DVD, but
nothing beats the memories of watching it for the first time on TV. If you haven't seen it, what are you waiting
for?
