Just agreeing with everyone else that the opening theme always scared me when I was little. In fact, I had to go to the other room just now because I got those familiar chills up and down my spine lol.
Dissonance = Scary-ness for little kids. You do not get that anymore because many 'composers' these days do not have a great imagination when it comes to composition. That's just my opinion as an educated musician, take it for what it's worth.
@pinkfloyd4241 Stopping "Travel Impaired Discrimination" is something I would totally get behind, just for the name alone. You made me smile, and think. Good times.
Wow! Does this show ever bring back memories. I used to watch this as a young teenager and I knew once this show came on....the clothes on some beautiful women came off! The best T&A show HBO ever had to date. Thanks for putting me through puberty.
There's about over 80 episodes,but i only watch about 25 to 30 of them.Face to face,man at the window,the killer,w.g.o.d,true believer,minuteman,doctors orders,billy baltimore,best shot(my favorite),joker,homebodies,made for each other,in living color,striptease,studio 3x,cruelest cut,strate shooter,pawns,fading away,tough guys dont whine,square deal,hit and run,living a lie,made in paris,a whole new you.There's a few others,but these are the one's that i can watch over and over.
Oooooh I used to watch this with my mom! I was born in '83 and watched reruns, so to me as a kid, it was definitely scary! Now looking back, his ass was the best part. I just didn't think of it as a kid :P
I use to stay up late just to watch this part of the show till my mom would yell at me to get to sleep!! Scary music & a hot hitchhiker in tight jeans?!! AWESOMEψ(｀∇´)ψ!! I love this show!!
Sci-Fi should air this series. The 80s had the best horror/mystery shows. I don't know what has happened to creativity in Hollywood. It seems like every show is a clone of another show.
i live in the bay area, i remember watching this on KOFY-TV20 cause back in 88, i remember watch this, TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE, NEW OUTTER LIMITS and FREDDY KRUEGER NIGHTMARES, and all those 3 shows were scarey to me now, now im in my 30s, i wanna relive it so i can get scared again
i used to watch this show all the time on hbo & usa network when i was a kid..my folks throw a fit when they see me watch this show...some of the episodes were scary and too adult for me...would be great to see the episodes of this show again.
This was an awesome show that used to be on HBO and then the USA network. My favorite episode is the one with the couple who enter a diner over and over again. Forgot the title of that one, but it was cool!
I saw that episode as a child and is my favorite too, the title is something about time, it shows a tremendous issue about the real value of things, I would love to see it again
Dude...i used to watch this when i was like 12! it was so cool. remember 1st and 10..LOL and tales from the crypt....LOL old school gotta still love it
Some great episodes,''face to face'',''billy baltimore'',''homebodies'',''hit and run'',''true believer'',''w.g.o.d'',''made for each other'',''joker'',''the killer''(which the movie high tension ripped off) and my favorite episode ''best shot'',with the guy from ''thirty something'',playing a sleazebag lawyer,who tries to cover up running some guy down on a highway.There's quite a few more pretty good ones also,check em out
@zapdelivers Haha i know,that's one of my favorites.Brad douriff(who is the voice of chucky)was great,had alot of memorable lines.Especially at the end when he tells alley about how rock n roll destroyed his father.So intense,great, GREAT episode.
The "dying cow" (or "angry cat") and rattlesnake sounds are such a perfect combo, especially with the Southwestern backdrop. Knight Rider also had a kickass intro.
@IggyHazard Yeah, I love all the desert motifs.... Seems people were obsessed with the desert back in the 80's. Curly hair adn leather jackets too... LOL
@knmlover yes indeed!!!! never watched an entire episode of the series, only the opening credits just to see page fletcher's hot butt!!!! damn he filled those jeans to perfection!!!!!
is it only me or did anyone else watch this show just for the openining sequence of watching that hunk page fletcher's GOREGEOUS ass in those tight jeans? hot looking in front and even better in the back, he looks good coming and going! i'd love to smear whipped cream and chocolate sauce on his delectable butt and lick it off! yum!!!!
is it just me or did anyone love watching the opening to this series just to see paige fletcher's gorgeous ass in those tight jeans? horsie111 i thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this video with the rest of us! i used to have such the hots for paige fletcher, he was absolutely yummy!!!! i would love to lick some whipped cream and chocolate sauce off his gorgeous naked butt! lol
good grief why did you guys have to dig out these old HBO intros? LOL. Both the old 1980s movie primetime intro scared the hell out of me along with the theme song of the Hitchhiker tv show. Thanks alot LOL
I LOVED THIS INTRO MUSIC AS A KID. ITS JUST BRILIANT! IT TOTALLY PACKAGED THE WHOLE FEEL OF THE SHOW! THE FIRST EPISODES WERE GREAT, THEY WERE REALLY AHEAD OF OF THEIR TIME. AS TIME WENT ON THE STORY QUALITY BEGAN TO WANE? I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED? BUT THE WRITTING DID TAKE A DIVE TIL THEY PULLED THE SERIES? BUT, ITS STILL GREAT TO HAVE NOSTALGIA FINDING IT ON YOUTUBE. WHOEVER POSTED THESE CLIPS - THANKS A MILLION!!! I LOVED THIS SHOW AS A KID! THANK YOU SO MUCH! STAT.
Ah yeah, I remember late nights on HBO watching this uncut, uncensored, unhinged. USA had to cut out a lot of things becuase they were trying not to piss anybody off thought. Then again, I'd take an editied Hitchhiker over the now Law and Order network.
speaking of which, anyone remember the 5-minute clips/short films (to fill time) they use to have??? One had an old man building a giant mouse trap. Another had a man fishing using an apple.
@2000heynow I remember those clips. I think they were even called "HBO SHORTS"...They were like used for filler between odd timed programs. Usually after an HBO Boxing Special Event or a comedy concert Standing Room Only. God I loved HBO when it was new-it kinda sucks ass now-theres too many HBO's (when and why did that happen?-oh well-marketing?) My Fav HBO Short of all time HARD WARE WARS-A great spoof on Star Wars. Loved it! Ok, now I feel old-and a little spoiled for having HBO as a kid? WTF
@rafaelmexico i'll say....he was the only reason i even BOTHERED watching the series just so i could se that FANTASTIC ass of his in the opening sequence!!!!
@bottle2lip you hit it right on the head about that tales from the darkside intro, i remember a moment when i woke up late at night with the tv on and that came on, i thought my heart was about to pop out of my chest LOL!!!!
@bottle2lip I'm 29 as well and I remember USA Saturday nights too. I remeber them always playing that movie with the little black slugs that would jump into peoples mouths.
@putinblood RIGHT ON!!!!! Saturday nights (every saturday night) after Empty Nest, Cops and Americas Most wanted, my cousin and i (who were born in 1981) would pop in front of the tv in our He man and ninja turlte pajamas at 10 pm and watch Monsters, Tales from Darkside, Friday the 13th: The series and then Tales from the Crypt. Then u'd get up sunday morning, go ouside, shoot some hoops, watch WWF wrestling at 10a.m and go out after a fried bologna sandwich and kool aid and wrestle.
it's sad that people didn't pay close attention to this show other than the popular intro.There were some good episodes and mediorce ones in between to say the least.
''Best shot'' is my favorite,with the guy from ''thirty something'' who plays a sleazebag lawyer who tries to cover up a hit and run accident.Great GREAT episode.They had some pretty good ones(true believer,minuteman,billy baltimore,the killer)
"Hit and Run" is my favorite where a husband decides to run away from his family to pursue the life he's always wanted for himself and "Made For Each Other" is another good one too with Bill Paxton.
Ha ha. Man, it's good to know I wasn't the only one who got scared whenever this show came on. Never really watched the show, though. At least until USA started running it, years later. I agree, the theme was the most memorable part of the whole show.
this show use to scare the crap out of me when I was little. @kim24may the show like the title is about this guy that travels and get in to twilight zone involving monsters, magic and other crazy stuff he was kind of like a traveling detective who ended up in these situations.
oh yeah, I remember seeing this intro when I was little. I used to freak out after the first 3 seconds, frantically looking for the remote to flip to another channel!! haha but now, it's not that scary. It's a little eerie and it def suits the theme. Maybe the reason why it sounded scary to me is because of the sound of a whip synchronized with the rhythm. That really gave me chills! lol
haha I know, same here!! Actually, the more I listen to it, the more unnerving it gets, especially when it reaches 0:18! But I never really get what this show was about 'cause the intro gave way for the mystery-thriller theme. lol
the show was about men and women who struggle with the best and worst in themselves, battling with - and all too often succumbing to - their deepest lusts, obsessions and fears.
The Hitchhiker guy's hot..who is the actor ? I recently got into this series (I was born in 1980 and never saw this series since it was an early 80's series) but I do love it. They don't make great TV like they used to anymore. Love it.
I appreciate very much that you uploaded this music that was so hair-raising back then, and still is!!! They used to show this series in Venezuela around 11:30 p.m. I got some serious nightmares...
I tell you the music that creeped me out as a kid, the music from the 80s version of Tales from the Darkside. But this is creepy too. I also loved that old tv series Werewolf with John J. York. I like strange scary shows like Tales from the Crypt, Tales from the Darkside, The Outer Limits, Monsters (Older show), stuff like that.
I didn't buy it. The DVD set I got is a mixture of retail and TV recordings. All the discs have menus and are in order. Very good quality, I even have the shows that were aired on the USA Network.
This intro scared the hell out of everybody !

it's sad that people didn't pay close attention to this show other than the popular intro.There were some good episodes and mediorce ones in between to say the least.

''Best shot'' is my favorite,with the guy from ''thirty something'' who plays a sleazebag lawyer who tries to cover up a hit and run accident.Great GREAT episode.They had some pretty good ones(true believer,minuteman,billy baltimore,the killer)

This has been flagged as spam show
"Hit and Run" is my favorite where a husband decides to run away from his family to pursue the life he's always wanted for himself and "Made For Each Other" is another good one too with Bill Paxton.

Ha ha. Man, it's good to know I wasn't the only one who got scared whenever this show came on. Never really watched the show, though. At least until USA started running it, years later. I agree, the theme was the most memorable part of the whole show.

this show use to scare the crap out of me when I was little. @kim24may the show like the title is about this guy that travels and get in to twilight zone involving monsters, magic and other crazy stuff he was kind of like a traveling detective who ended up in these situations.

oh yeah, I remember seeing this intro when I was little. I used to freak out after the first 3 seconds, frantically looking for the remote to flip to another channel!! haha but now, it's not that scary. It's a little eerie and it def suits the theme. Maybe the reason why it sounded scary to me is because of the sound of a whip synchronized with the rhythm. That really gave me chills! lol

i would always see the intro of this show but never actually watched it, what was this show about?
kim24may 1 year ago
haha I know, same here!! Actually, the more I listen to it, the more unnerving it gets, especially when it reaches 0:18! But I never really get what this show was about 'cause the intro gave way for the mystery-thriller theme. lol

the show was about men and women who struggle with the best and worst in themselves, battling with - and all too often succumbing to - their deepest lusts, obsessions and fears.

The Hitchhiker guy's hot..who is the actor ? I recently got into this series (I was born in 1980 and never saw this series since it was an early 80's series) but I do love it. They don't make great TV like they used to anymore. Love it.

I appreciate very much that you uploaded this music that was so hair-raising back then, and still is!!! They used to show this series in Venezuela around 11:30 p.m. I got some serious nightmares...

This show scared the shit outta me when I was a kid...I'd hear the music at like 11:30 and run screaming!
JAMFH2007 2 years ago 3
I tell you the music that creeped me out as a kid, the music from the 80s version of Tales from the Darkside. But this is creepy too. I also loved that old tv series Werewolf with John J. York. I like strange scary shows like Tales from the Crypt, Tales from the Darkside, The Outer Limits, Monsters (Older show), stuff like that.

I didn't buy it. The DVD set I got is a mixture of retail and TV recordings. All the discs have menus and are in order. Very good quality, I even have the shows that were aired on the USA Network.
