Tales from the Crypt intro

[bluestreek004]

great show grew up watching this. my favorite was the one about the struggling photographer who discovers fame by killing and taking pictures of his victims while passing it off as Art

[swedmeva2]

it sucks when your young when the good shits out but nw that im older with hair on my nuts they take the show away.

[devin004]

i was born 1998 so i dont no much of this show but u can still see it on cable on the fearnet channel got scared wen it poped out of the coffin

[SeaBassTabias]

The intro alone scared the fuck outta me when I was little

[wediditforthedead5]

OMG!!! i love this show!!!!

[PhuckHow]

the gates!! the fucking gates. panic attack!! 90s babies will know what im on about

[GabiN64]

I could never watch this intro when I was younger lol

[sok213]

i remember the intro since i was about 3 years old!!! HOLY SHIT!

[NathanArnoldCharging]

Crypt Keeper = Amy Winehouse, in about 45yrs.

[1337trollx]

@NathanArnoldCharging TOO SOON

[JefteNintendoNerd]

@NathanArnoldCharging You speak true words

[abw8390]

I had nightmares my whole entire childhood because of this!!

[Fbueller129]

I wish they would bring this back.

[oscarvmaldonado]

this one and the intro for tales from the darkside are ma favorites :)

[cris2298]

tales from the crypt used to scare the shit out of me and my two brothers when we were lil kids

[MrZoomer44]

I always get scared when he pops out of his coffin but not anymore I started to act like him lol >:)

[returnofsoma]

They NEED to bring this show back! I'm 32 now and I loved watching this show back in the day. Ah the memories! Let's just hope that HBO will listen. Nowadays most of what you see on TV is about as good as the Karshiadan wedding was till death do we part.

[syneisharaDrenieara]

i remember whenever this would come on, i'd sit in from of the tv and giggle with the Crypt Keeper >.>

[alex29464]

LUIGI'S MANSION IS BACK!

[Mainstreamjoker]

1:15 excuse me for a moment while I go change my pants.

[Cscottrun53]

This guy used to scare me alot as a kid I'd be up all night staring at my closet

[MadokaCatty]

this is real nostalgia for me ...now i'm 26 and i saw it first time around '96-98 i'm 12-13 on that time and it's very creepy for me ...classic

[SCohDoubleT]

Can't believe this show scared me. But it sure as hell did! Great freakin show. Bring it back HBO!

[09princesses]

this music use to scare the hell out of me ugh

[nuffsaidguy]

1:15: fuck you, it isnt funny..

[AutyAngel]

I remember this show :) I miss the old shows.

[NyxFTW]

0:32

Noooo I wanna go upstairs! I don't want to go down to the basement! D:

[mocococco123]

well i was born in 1998 so i guess im not to much of a 90s kid but my older brothers were so i kinda grew up watching this from them

[crash2cute]

does anyone know where i can find this show in region 2?

[TinyTitian]

Just came to say U LITTLE FUCKER I SHOULD PUNCH YOU IN DA FACE. Not only did u scare me as a kid u gave my older sister more tools too bully me with >_<.

[PlaguedMan]

You see far more horrors in real life than a horror show. Kids don't learn to swear from TV, but from real life. Why are people so fucking stupid?

[XxXxchocobananaxXxX]

when I was a kid I used to call this guy grandpa lol I was one weird child

[jmillhitmaker]

This show use to scare the crap out of me when I was a kid. The crypt keeper was too much for me o.0

[KN0WLEGE562]

this show kicked ass classic!

[abrielleBIANCA]

I remember seeing the reruns on regular TV back when I was little. It came on at either midnight or 1am, I can't really remember cuz I wasn't supposed to be up watching it but that damn skeleton?! That mF used to scare me to DEATH! Now that I'm damn near 22, it cracks me the hell up to think about back in the day lol

[TehMakaira]

i grow up watching this as a kid it actually thought me alot of lessons

[Cazxiro]

@TehMakaira I agree. They were mostly morality tales intermixed with horror. Basically the fairytales of the nineties.

[ThunderGoddesKino]

This scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. I'm 24 now and it still left me feeling creeped out! lol! The angles and zooming in as it leads you into the house it just perfectly eerie. This is what real horror is supposed to be like. This is genuine scary material.

[ronvins]

I remember my whole family coming together on the couch to watch this when I was a kid, too bad they don't show it anymore... :(

I loved this show growing up and still love it now, I'm surprised I'm not screwed up in the head from it... Lol

[tokyoundead338]

this show used scare me shitless when i was five but now its like this used to be scary

[TylerHenryVEVO]

@tokyoundead338 You're probably thinking of the cartoon version, unless your parents let you watch this, which would be fucked up

[ViolentHuman]

I love those last two laughs the crypt keeper does

[RoseyRascal]

Man, if they had this haunted house in Universal Studios, I'd be all up on it!

[commando2224]

James

[No1RockLeet]

My family and I used to watch it :D

[XDragonslayer0725X]

I'm fuckin addicted to this show!!!

[SkankinLozer]

Remember watching this with my whole family when i was like 5 im 19 now, thanks dad for letting me watch this and buying me the first mortal combat and letting me play it at such a young age. With this generation it would be a bit different.

[rottencore0]

@SkankinLozer That's ok son.

[09erf8330]

This scared the shit outta me when I was younger lol....now 23 lol

[PagenBabe]

This scared me as a kid....now 14 years later I'm loving it!!!!

[RISE210NER]

"ITS DARK AND COLD AGAIN"

[RISE210NER]

ffun fact few ppl know about this intro. right after the hb logo finishes, if your volume is loud enough. listen close and you will hear a lil girl whisper"Its cold and dark again" which is insanely creepy@.@ in this clip you can hear "dark again" half a second in..;) long live tftc

[fernieflows21]

I remember this intro I would cry when I would see this when I was 4 ah memories

[dementi3000]

Good memories

[aspano2147]

I remember how scared i was to the intro of this show...i would run up the stairs and hide under the covers at my grandmothers house...grant it i was like 5 or 6 and now at 23 i laugh at how funny it is...but its still creepy...great intro great show

[cbohar84]

This intro used to scare the crap out of me as a kid XD

[jennarocky99]

at the end, it sounds like "cheese from the crypt" not tales

[bizzybone951]

such a cool intro with cool music i love this show now

[IrishEyedBlue]

Who else thinks it would be cool to have David Lynch direct an episode of Tales From the Crypt?

[abakusek]

cryptkeeper for the president!!! :P

[CyberIce2000]

Tales from the Crypt is coming back to television with new episodes!

[IrishEyedBlue]

@CyberIce2000

Hopefully this time it isn't heavily edited like some of the episodes are on cable.

[HorrorIsAll]

the best show ever <3

[kane15287]

Damn I loved this show :D!!

[muggsy0003]

The nostalgia...

[freshPrincess626]

creepy ass intro...

uuh, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

[SonicSupremeSGT3]

I used to be so scared of the Crypt Keeper when I was 6 years old, but now, I'm starting to know that ironically, the Crypt Keeper has better hair than Beyoncé herself! Just sayin'!

[AlexandraAbandonment]

untill I figured out he was a puppet I used to watch it and cry when he popped up out of it )':

[AgrivatedKillah]

@AlexandraAbandonment you're not alone :( I would close my eyes when it got close to him popping out :(

[ShadowOfAuroraWave]

Wonderful intro! It's like you're walking right into a new world. I remember being scared to death whenever this came on but felt obligated to watch it because of its sheer entertainment, Then as soon as the intro was over, I'd fall asleep because I didn't understand the stories as I was too young. By the way. Has anyone else wondered what the rest of the mansion looked like? I used to always get mad when the camera wouldn't go up the stairs or into a different room.

[Grecza89]

scary shit :-) even more when i was younger :-)

[1viciousguy]

hahah i use to be terrified of this shit when i was a kid.

[dipzilla1989]

Seeing the Simpsons intro brought me here

[gb20051]

@dipzilla1989 I just saw it on tv, and I was cracking up lol.

[Rome19ification]

i remember this, as a kid brings back good times in life

[liltee12ify]

whao grandma u snuck up on me

[twinturbo955]

@liltee12ify lol

[liltee12ify]

who the hell builds a house in the crypt

[itzahazylife]

what happened to this show?..screw tales from the darkside

[celticguardian951]

I always used to watch this as a kid & a loved the show but I also always thought the crypt keeper dude lived in my closet & I had a fear of skeletons then lol

[Metzaltix]

i loved this show when i was 13 xD it comes at 2 am here

sometimes it was really scary ^^

[Kittytrix]

The introduction sequence that started every episode through the Cryptkeeper's home is actually the size of a miniature golf course green. Small "snorkel" cameras were used to film this portion.

[TheMerkzzz]

i use to love watching this with my dad when i was little

[ifearthenight]

If you like TFTC, check out our new sexy, bloody anthology series Night Terrors inspired by the show! Thanks. Support indie horror.

[Kboyd89]

he still freaks me out! And I'm 21!!

[mptothedc]

I used to love watching this show with my dad when I was a little kid xD

[blacksultan85]

I LOVE TALES FROM THE CRYPT!!!!!!!!

[kierLOVESyou]

my mom forced me to watch this when i was young. it was to build character and give me a backbone.

um, mom.

i cannot be in a dark room by myself now.

i'm almost 22.

thank you.

[Dave175]

Anyone here heard of Candle Cove?

[Dre259]

THANKS MOM FOR WATCHING THIS SHOW BACK IN THE DAY ALL THE TIME RIGHT BEFORE I WAS SUPPOSE TO GO TO BED. ITS NOT LIKE IT DIDN'T GIVE ME NIGHTMARES OR ANYTHING

[deathshadow2492]

@Dre259 The only episode that gave me nightmares (and nearly made me vomit) was that one episode where this one guy gets a snake tattoo that comes to life and it was on a Halloween night nonetheless. But other than that it was a GREAT show, and it only lost to The Twilight Zone (in my opinion).

[niansillabffs]

@Dre259 I have the same story!

[XIOIAN]

Man, I LOVED this show as a kid, still do.

[brandonslc22]

I liked this when i was kid too it would scare me too.

[JURYJOHMZOMBIE]

In this pussified america we will not even be allowed to show this on air without some over sensitive parent complaining that this show will have negative impact on their child and transition them to be future serial killers . I hate this generation

[horrorgamer01]

@JURYJOHMZOMBIE As do I and the rest of us. (Sigh) We took the '90s for granted.

[JURYJOHMZOMBIE]

@horrorgamer01 we did indeed

[Shadowlooker12]

@JURYJOHMZOMBIE It's not the generations fault, and way more violent and influential material is shown today then it was in the 90's. Most of all music which is popular promote Partying (Drug usage), Materialism, "Do your own thing attitude", Promiscuity among other negative aspects. The thing is, we've been groomed to adhere to tolerance, we've got this false sense of freedom because we can object to anything although ultimately it's government who decides what moves and what doesn't.

[Shadowlooker12]

@JURYJOHMZOMBIE It's just political correctness working it's magic. Tomorrow it may be politically correct to go outside shirtless and then many will too, without question. It takes a few generations to influence people to do something, but eventually it breaks through and then it's passed down to the next till another aspect needs to be added or is of no longer use. We can look in the pass 15 or so years and see this as fact. Great show, still got some on tape.

[JURYJOHMZOMBIE]

@Shadowlooker12 i agree but it seems now alot of the things are products of over senstitive parents, when i grew up it was still ok to play outside , get hurt , get bruised up , fight the bully , but now everything we do is bad. My parents had no problem in exposing me to horror movies primarily 80s flicks they told me and explain to me that it was all fake due to the fact that my dad in his earlier years did some special fx on some b movies , times have changed and i am not well in these times

[freshPrincess626]

@JURYJOHMZOMBIE

this show aired on HBO anyway... not exactly easy anytime access for kids.

[VenomProject]

@JURYJOHMZOMBIE

Um...not to sound like a puss or anything, but I DID see this at a young age and it freaked me out. Still to this day, seeing that corpse pop out of the coffin and cackle is still horrifying.

My parents, on the other hand, still laugh their arses off every time they remember it.

[Coxdrummer89]

@JURYJOHMZOMBIE I love the stupidity of the people who correlate the concept of a horror show with some sort of factual occurence in the real world. Fantasy is something not real, and how does that imply anything about the real world? Gotta love the ignorace. Happy Haunts.

[KingItDoesntMatter]

@JURYJOHMZOMBIE I must agree! America has become pussified. For a while I was wondering if I'm the only one who noticed.

[JURYJOHMZOMBIE]

@KingItDoesntMatter yeah , some weak times were in

[StephyxxD]

@JURYJOHMZOMBIE Well, this is just horribly retarded. When I was 4-10 my brothers, friends, and I would stay up all night watching this show. I'm now 13, and I turned out fine. Fuck America. >_<

[JURYJOHMZOMBIE]

@StephyxxD i agree , i do have some spotty memories of what the early 90s were but it was a transition from the 1980s sub cubcultures and styles yah know like heavy metal glam metal , punks etc really did get killed off the mainstream by grunge imo the 80s were the best time for horror movies but today the problem is that they always blame the media than rather analyze themselves as parents . My parents always told me it was fake and he showed me how cause he worked in special fx before

[bud389]

@JURYJOHMZOMBIE This WAS on HBO at the time, where we see things like Game of Thrones.

[Zamolxx]

You said it bro and it's not about culture either. I live in Romania and I watched a lot of great shows when I grew up, from the 80s and 90s including this one and I turned out a decent human being. The jonas and hannah montana generations are going to be fuckin' backward. They will venerate euphemistic language, they will adopt superstitionism and idolatry of the behaviorist created self. They will sacrifice all reason on the pedestal of their new idea of God, post hoc ergo propter hoc.

[JURYJOHMZOMBIE]

@Zamolxx dam straight and i agree to what you said , i grew up watching 80s horror films and i turned out fine , It is not the shows fault for corrupting your kid it is your job as a parent to inform your child about the world.

[YamanoRyuu]

@JURYJOHMZOMBIE And the parents today sucks ahahahahah

[MultiJman69]

i miss this show . it was what horror shows are supposed to be. it had a blend of horror and comedy. the crypt keeper was awesome. have some of the seasons on dvd, but its not the same as waiting for the new episodes to air on tv .

[barrakkethking]

@Zamolxx amen to that brother

[ChadTheWrestleManiac]

@JURYJOHMZOMBIE im a child of this genereation, well im 13, but i hate this generation too! everything sucks now! besides the internet

[SincerelyNita]

This and chucky were my two biggest fears when I was younger. Sigh

[reesee02]

they should show this more often than on halloween even though halloween is a good time to show this on tv

[TheGoodlooking2011]

This was one interesting show when I was little. It was scary when I was little but I still liked it.

[jennifermaddison]

Dude, I loved watchin that show when came on TV at night. Damn, that was so long ago.

[nicaminaj]

man i miss being young =(

[Fry356]

1:17 is that Smeagols voice from lord of the rings ??? :3

[deveraux009]

They are bringing it back with the original crypt-keeper voice actor. Can't wait!!!

[dodobear5]

What was so damn funny at 1:15?

[howarethingsindenver]

Wow, i had almost forgot about this series. This was the deal back in the days, when the fruits watched baywatch and shiverly hills 90something, the real dude and dudettes watched this. This and unsolved mysteries, heh heh. aah the memories with the chicks on the couch. :)) Damn aging

[ilovejfast]

Ahhhh WTF!!

[ItTastesGood]

I remember watching this as a kid...never saw this as any sort of satire or comedy in any way, this scared the living shit out of me, especially the intro. Now that I look at it now, its hilarious.

[chubito33]

im 19 now and i just recently discovered what this show really was, i honestly thought the crypt keeper was just porn with some wierd stories mixed in..either way when i was young i had to change the channel fast lol

[1snitches1]

I FREAKIN LOVE HIS LAUGH!!!!

[MadokaCatty]

now i'm 26 i never forget this show it's very scary for me on my 11 yo in 1996....classic !

[boingokky]

Talk about awesome tracking camera shots!

[42Johney]

uhh so after Tales from the crypt,and Are You Afraid of The Dark, TV has yet to make any new shows that explore horror stories like this :/ Come on! We need a new show like this!

[ToroRosso20]

@42Johney you know the true horror tv is Reality TV. It makes me want to scream and throw my tv out the window. Too many horrible shows..there's just too many. I can't take this crap anymore.

[42Johney]

@ToroRosso20 thats not true! i love me some reality tv :P but only some of em. haha

[TheGrognok]

One of my favorite television shows!

[ErikaAllyn]

Danny Elfman??

[nintonic]

i remember this old show and having a big cardboard cutout of him on his throne that we used for halloween

[SargentoFucks]

Esta serie la daban en Isat Argentina hace unos años

[neogendarkness]

i used to hate this show lol my mom used to watch it every sat day night -_-

i was only 6 years old and she knew i was scared of it and she still played it anyway

[xdamatox62]

I remember this being a lot more scary when I was a kid...now not so much lol

[Ublockalypse]

taught me morals when my mother wasn't home

[sivazh]

I would like to dig up the corpse of Marilyn Monroe and have sex with it.

[tacarrawilson]

OhhMyyGoshhh , I Remember My Parents Used To Watch This When I Was Like 7 Or 8 Or 5 Or Something And I Used To Run Out Of The Room . Like Who Wouldnt Be Deathly Afraid Of This ! Even The Intro Is Scary !!

[Sclassmercedes]

@yanki01 hell yeah this was some scary shit when we was kid. When I stay up and watch tv , I'm praying to never catch this parts of the show .

[doomsrlocs]

they need to pit this back on tv

NNNOOOOWWWW!!!!

[yanki01]

man i loved watching this when i was a kid. the intro alone scared the crap out of me.

[ekimusman2]

too many memories.

[poundu27]

They should bring back this show. 

[ekimusman2]

@poundu27 if they brought it back, it'd suck.

[poundu27]

@ekimusman2 How do you figure? Unless they dont bring back the cryptkeeper and dont put time and effort into the show.

[remusjacobs]

lol I always used to sit throught that whole intro but i tried to leave the room before he jumped out the casket. lol

[kipper199]

@remusjacobs rofl i hear ya

[raheembey]

i'm 22 now and that laugh,still gives me chills.

[papajg197]

dm what happened to shows like these....this show had me spooked as a kid

[canadianbaconbro]

u cant deny the cryptkeeper looks scary as fuck

[VampiresBite9]

@canadianbaconbro I know...imagine seeing his face in your bedroom window at night....the thought alone is probably gonna give me nightmares

[WeeklyNewMusic]

Tony yayo little shop of horrors, that song samples this

[Zen53GT]

It used to be a game - don't flinch when the guy pops out. I almost always failed, but man I used to love this show. I'd sleep with all of the lights on and have nightmares. Good times.

[honeypoo611]

im still scared of this! my grandma used to watch this right in front of me! was scary s crap! thats the ugliest dead-thing ive ever seen!



[AJ36sXe]

I still remember fondly being about 2 years oldd watching this show with my parents, it still haunts me.

[Holehgoodeh]

looks like 21ppl shit their pants

[Prayerrr7]

I remember being a kid and when this intro started up I would have to change the channel as fast as I could because the crypt keeper scared the shit out of me.

[swanging666]

@Prayerrr7 lol for real i was lil kid n i watch this n it scare me when it started id be peekin thru my fingers or tha blanket haha now most scary movies or shows aint scary cause u expect it coming but back then it was real creepy or scary

[Prayerrr7]

@swanging666

Haha yeah exactly.

[BroNcoFaN4LiFe1]

@Prayerrr7 haha me too

[justicelyric]

@Prayerrr7 for some odd reason it didnt scare me but unsolved mysteries did that intro and the dude voice

[Prayerrr7]

@justicelyric haha yeah that was pretty sketchy too.

[FearCarlos]

@Prayerrr7 lmao same here!

[GTRrocker666]

@Prayerrr7 Yeah... me too

[Shadowlooker12]

@Prayerrr7 He was pretty creepy lol This theme and Goosebumps theme are my favorite 2 horror type themes from my childhood, even though Goosebumps was more towards Teens and younger, it still was horror. Speaking of which, I was just reminded about Ghost Writer ROFL.

[Arquive]

@Prayerrr7 It's been like 8 years and I still cover my eyes. xD

[musicproducer16]

@Prayerrr7 Me too! I just thought about this today and I had to find it, I had to search for it cause I didn't remember the name of it.I remember being at least 4 or 5 and this would come on late evenings or at night and I would snatch the remote as fast as I could and turn it lol

[Distrub122334]

this takes me back... lol

[APPLEYUBACITY]

I hated this show! I would always cry when my parents watched it!!!

[APPLEYUBACITY]

I remember one time my dad watching this show at 12:00 p.m and me coming out to ask him a question then seeing the opening, peeing my pants, and running to my room!!

[APPLEYUBACITY]

This show scared the holy shit out of me and my sister!!

[vacena01]

I totally loved this show as a kid! It scared the sh** out of me but it was well worth it! I would love to have the dvd set!

[CL123628]

I remember watching this when I was younger, freakin crypt keeper scared the crap out of me when he came out!!!

[kenny6449]
