Not too long ago all the seasons were on amazon prime. Not sure if they sitll are or not. The best I think was the pool one but I liked the monkey paw one and the pinball one was pretty good. One of the more boring ones I can remember was the one with the dogs where the solution was just dumping some dog food on the ground.

My dad stone HBO so tales from the crypt was on at the same time most Saturday's. When everyone was talking about how scary it was I was like whatever. I saw some tits and someone get graphically disembowled. Also we watched twilight zone together from the age of 5. So I could pretty much figure out the twist before the third act.

There's an 11 year old kid her I'd like to show this show to. Aren't they on Netflix? Or is it Goosebumps only? I remember showing my gf's kid Afraid SOMEWHERE streaming and it scared the poo poo out of him lol

Did these "entry-level horror" series just completely die off after the 90s once we had real things to be afraid of again? Or did we just grow up and stop paying attention?

wow, what a timely thread. A few years ago, someone uploaded every single episode of AYAOTD to youtube, even the lovely final season that nobody watched. THese videos were on youtube for years and had a considerable amount of views and comments. Every once in a while when I had nothing to do, I'd watch one of my favorite episodes at night. Well, it turns out that every single video has been deleted from youtube. This must have happened within the last month or so. AFAIK, there is no way to watch them online (without torrenting), since they are not on netflix or hulu. My question is this: Why doesn't Viacom create a youtube channel, and upload all of the episodes there, and insert 2 or 3 advertisements? There clearly is a demand for the videos, as evidenced by the high number of views on the now deleted videos. What is there to gain by simply removing all of the videos from the internet? It would seem that they could at least turn some profit by uploading them to their own channel. I don't get it. Does anyone have an answer for why companies don't do this for all of their old tv shows?

Hector Beerlioz posted:Don't make prank calls or THE PHONE POLICE will get you Man, that episode was just goofy. Though I guess I can appreciate having the occasional episode that isn't about the supernatural. I also like that the "sirens" on the Phone Police's car was the sound a landline-phone makes when you leave it off the hook.

I wonder how a modern version of this would play out. The "internet police" would torment a 14 year-old troll for 30 minutes until he learns his lesson. b-minus1 posted:My question is this: Why doesn't Viacom create a youtube channel, and upload all of the episodes there, and insert 2 or 3 advertisements?

Does anyone have an answer for why companies don't do this for all of their old tv shows? You answered your own question. There's a clear demand for those shows, meaning people are willing to pay more than zero dollars to watch them, meaning they get put behind paywalls. Furthermore, no company is going to give Youtube a 30-50% cut of their advertising revenues when they've already got a stake in their own video-streaming website. You can watch massive backlogs of old shows on Hulu, because it's owned by the networks that made them, which is soon going to put all their free content behind a subscription wall. Even Pewdiepie encourages people to watch his videos on his own website

the best episode was the one where there was an old dude that would fall asleep and everytime he slept a ghoul would crawl out of the ocean and walk towards his house. so he drank a LOT of coffee and didn't sleep much

Pon de Bundy posted:-the clown with the cigars in the microwave Easy there, big fella', you're combining two unrelated clown-based episodes. The clown with e cigar is from the one where a kid goes on one of those lovely "haunted house" rides at a county fair and steals the red nose from a stupid fake clown, but then the real clown the fake clown is based off of, who smokes cigars, haunts him or something until he gives the nose back. The microwave one is the Ghastly Grinner who is a comic-book jester villain brought to live in a microwave, obviously, who makes people turn into weird smiling doofuses with goo coming out of their mouths.

I have a really vivid memory of school starting and everyone trying to trick people with the riddle from the first episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark, but most of the kids had already seen it so it didn't work very well. That episode aired in August 1992, so it must have been my kindergarten year.  wowza, that's a long time again

missing some good ones ITT: - Tale of the Midnight Madness: when the vampire jumps from the screen into the theater.  - Tale of the Magician's Assistant: when the kid uses the wand three times and the shop owner says "Only let them see what you want them to see" and turns into Nazareth  - Tale of the Dangerous Soup: when the guy is standing over the open casket, and his uncle suddenly comes to life and grabs his shirt  - Tale of the Unexpected Visitor: when the grunge kid hammers out a guitar riff, and then says "whoa.... eclectic riff!"  - Tale of the Night Shift: when you get the first glimpse of the green zombie that is killing people. this scene probably terrified me the most of any episode

What about the tale of the haunted sponge they found under the sink when they moved into their new house? The plausibility just made it more scary imo
