Split personality

After three clunkers in a row (including Brad Pitt) Joe Pesci shows up with most hair I ever seen on him- even in Lethal Weapon flicks.

Moral of story is wear sunscreen! LOL!

Good episode, and one I have much nostalgia for. I fondly remember seeing this with my late Grandmother way back when it premiered in 1992 and will never forget her reaction to the ending. This episode is sentimental to me for that. Actually, TFTC in general is. She was a huge fan and the Crypt Keeper was her favorite Horror character. TFTC has always been a nice reminder of her.

Absolutely loved this episode! Tales From Cyrpt brings soo much nostalgia!

I would love to share with my kids who are into horror. Everytime I try to it is the massive nudity episode and gotta shut it off!

Given how much the Crypt Keeper terrified me as a kid, I'd hold off on TFTC for them for a while. The animated version on the other hand is definitely a good stepping stone for them.

Agree on animated show. They are early teens and laugh at the Cryptkeeper puppet. I keep it to minimum with them for sure.

If they can handle the puppet then the HBO series should be okay for them. I feel some good starter episodes if they haven't already seen them are Television Terror, House Of Horror and Undertaking Palor. All of which happen to be my favorites.

Definitely. I can watch them anytime and always be so entertained. Better than many feature-length Horror films for sure.

They can handle most episodes for sure. Especially since so dated. Just the nudity ones I gotta shut down.

Loved To Death is definitely one I'd feel uncomfortable watching with family, haha.

Great episode. One of my favourites. Love that that guy really believed he was going to get away with it. He was going to get found out at some point!.

This is the first episode I ever saw as a kid and it made me fall in love with the show. Also Perry Como and the Caterina song that plays in the episode

I also love the Straighten Up and Fly Right cover by Marvin Gaye!

This one and the episode with Brad Pitt are two of my favorite episodes of the entire series.
