Mystery intro

I love the old intro the best....and uh...why couldn't she untie her feet? Lovin' it.

oh my god i miss that, i clearly remembered that damsel's whining

I've always wondered if Edward Gorey and Charles Addams ever met. They're two of a kind! Does anyone know?

,,,I wonder if Peter Cushing ever met Ernie Stovall.

Oddly enough, it was the moaning woman on the pillar that scared me the most in this intro as a child.

Even now, she still kind of creeps me out for some reason.

She has a cool mystique....

Wow...I remember being strangely drawn to this intro... I couldn't wait for it to come on, then I'd tune out because the rest was sooo utterly boring! But it did freak me out as a small child...now it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

That's exactly how I felt watching this as a child.

i definetely remember this. thanks for putting it up : } I'd always watch it for the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series. Funny enough I thought it'd be entertaining if the intro was actually a whole movie or episode of the show

Oh wow! I often remembered this intro and asked my mom about it and she never remembered it...but my 4 year old self did! I love Edward Gorey and now knowing that he animated this makes me like him more...or maybe I like his illustrations because this influenced me as a child? Either way, this and the 1990 version are awesome and creepy intros that set the mood well for the rather boring series. Why didn't he ever have an animated show on Saturday morning children's television?  Too scary?
