Tales From The Crypt is a horror series that ran on HBO from June 1989 to July 1996, totaling seven seasons of 93 episodes. Much like The Twilight Zone, Tales From The Crypt featured a creepy host, in this case some sort of zombie skeleton called The Cryptkeeper, who would introduce each creepy story riddled with spooky and silly puns. But while The Twilight Zone continues to be the first name in horror anthology, what Tales From The Crypt lacks in fame it makes up for in cheesy charm of the early 1990s. It’s got a Goosebumps vibe to it, though Goosebumps premiered in 1995, and features many huge celebrities whose names we still know today.
