Subject: Favorite Horror TV Series of the 1980s

Written By: AcoBrasil on 09/15/15 at 11:45 am

Please vote for your favorite TV Horror Series.  I know, I know, some of these ran into the early 1990s.

Even though Tales of the Crypt premiered in 1989, it was great.

I remember Tales From the Crypt in the early 90s, or at least the reruns circa 1992/1993, so I vote that!

Amazing Stories wasn't horror.  It was just an anthology show.  I loved the show, but for horror, I went with Tales From the Darkside

Other inclusions:  The Hitchhiker, Alfred Hitchcock Presents

Although I know all those shows, I don't think I ever watched them. So my vote went for the 'not really horror' but kinda weird "Amazing Stories".

Fave episodes : Moving Day (when the kid realises his family are aliens)

I remember that one.  Great episode!

I think my favourite was the old man who wakes from his coma after 40 years to learn he can communicate with a little girl who is in a coma.  That episode brings tears to my eyes every time

I loved them all, even though looking at them now, they are sometimes a bit cheesy.  Still love them.

I lived for Tales from the Darkside as a kid. I used to watch the reruns of it on Syfy all the time. I'd block out my day for it!

"I lived for Tales from the Darkside as a kid. I used to watch the reruns of it on Syfy all the time. I'd block out my day for it!"

I'm rewatching the first season on YouTube now.  Kind of reminds me of the X-Files in the sense that most of the episodes are underpinned by a subtle sense of kitch humor.  I love seeing the long-forgotten cameo actors pop up too.  An adolescent Christian Slater, Justine Bateman, etc.

Tales from the Crypt actually ran into the mid '90s.
